These are some shots and pictures taken from a practice shoot we did in an attempt to film some singing shots. We did this as we were unable to film the dance scene and felt that we were not adding conventions of a music video. We decide that rather than having on singer, we would have a variation of people singing, both male and female to add to the humour within the video. We also filmed clips of people doing silly dances to include as well as the narrative with Joe to also add humour.
We filmed these clips in black and white up against a brick wall as we wanted them to be simple. Our inspiration for this was the video "212" by Azealia Banks, where the whole video features her and another man dancing up against this wall in a light hearted and funny way accompanied with singing. We wanted our music video to be incredibly light hearted as well, plus we didn't want the singing section to be serious compared to the narrative. We wanted them to be as similar as possible to add to the ongoing humour running throughout.

However when it came to editing when we had all of our footage, we found that the clips did not accompany the narrative well and therefore we decided to remove them. We felt that they were not appropriate for use as there was no place within the video that they would look effective. However when we looked at other videos within the dance genre we reverted back to our first acknowledgement that singers and DJ's are not often featured within the videos and if we were to include this kind of footage, we would be opposing our genre.
