Research: Change in storyline idea for music video - Perfect by P!nk and One and Only by Adele



Video: P!nk, "F**kin' Perfect"


As the other group member and I have both decided to base our music video on the song ‘One and Only’ By Adele, although we had to change our initial storyline idea due to complications that occurred throughout the filming process. This is beecause our main actress was unable to make any more filming sessions and we still had not finished fimling all the scenes which meant we immidiately had a problem and had to solve the problem as soon as possible to give us enough time to do our editing and to complete the music video in time. This led us to having to change our storyline and use the available footage we had previously filmed and to incorporate the footage into a music video but also considering an interesting and eye catching storyline and also that relates to our target audience and their responses based on our surveys.
Therefore, the other group member and I came up with the idea of having an actress (whom we know would be regularly available) to act as the artist (Adele), singing to the lyrics and playing the piano. And with the remaining footage that has already been filmed to be used as a reconstruction of the lyrics to One and Only.
Hence, we were inspired by this idea due to watching the music video by P!nk – F**kin’ Perfect. The storyline of the music video are linked to lyrics of the song as the diaglogue refelects the lyrics of the song, so we have decided to follow a similar storyline to the music video by P!nk.
