Contingency plan

A Contingency plan is a plan devised for a specific situation when things could go wrong and due to the hard drive failure that Paul discovered we lost all of the work we did with the animation. This has led to another back up plan to come in to play due to the fact we don't know if any of the animation will be able to be recovered. The hard drive crash lost all of the work we had developed so far in the project and due to the time limit left for the project we have had to come to a plan B.

The alternative idea is to do a music video similar to a video we saw from students last year which will have a band playing which will consist of different camera shots. The music we choose will be put over the band like in most music videos because the band never plays live in a music video due to the fact the band is trying to promote the single to drive more album sales.

The music video idea would be shot in a room and the band would play normally. The camera shots would change to the style of the music to make it more effective. This would catch the expressions on the faces of the band for close up shots.

This overall is a pretty simple idea but its also very effective if pulled off correctly and it also shows that a music video would not need to be narrative to be successful.
