I think that we could have spent less time on deciding on the location of our video and more time on a wider variety of shots and more accurate instruments. In my opinion, this would have made the video a lot more successful and would have reduced stress as there was a lot of debate as to whether we bother with a fancy location.
Luckily, I have a drum kit, microphone with a stand and two guitars at home. However, we did not have a bass guitar between us meaning we were forced to use a 6 string guitar as a bass replacement. There was no way that we could hide 2 strings in the footage we got. Next time we would plan more in advance and get hold of a bass guitar and not have to improvise.
As well as the instrument problem, we did encounter some minor timing problems. For example, our drummer wasn't in time for a lot of the shots that included him. At times it is not very obvious but in this shot onwards it is clear that he is not drumming in time with the music.
I think that Annie and Becky's footage of the boy clicking in time with the song and the tambourine being shaken in time really worked well. If we had more time to plan, we would have most definitely used a tambourine in our video as it does feature in the original version of the song. We did not have a tambourine so unfortunately we were unable to create an accurate perception of the orignal version of 'Radar Love'.
I think that this tambourine shot is very effective and in Annie and Becky's video, it really engages the audience and makes them feel the music rather than just hearing it.
