Doing this rough plan of what our music video will be timed and cut like has made us realise that we either need to make our shots longer or add in more shots as our video isn't long enough to cover the whole of the song at this time.

 We are using the plan as a rough guide throughout the process of making our music video, due to the natural of some sections of our music video, for example the group scenes, we are relying heavily on the actors to deliver, and using the shots they give us during filming. Therefore we can't plan out perfectly certain sections of our video. However we will be sticking to the plan in all other sections.
