5.2. The weather not going as planned
5.3. Limited filming time due to time of day/ daylight savings
5.4. Failing when trying to maintain consistency
5.5. Makeup plans falling through because of external issues
6. SOUNDS
6.1. Potential to add dialogue in the middle of the song (interrupt song at a point) and add a VERY short 'skit'
6.2. add a short intro- As I plan to be in the field, I could add nature sounds
7. SYMBOLISM
7.1. If the friendship has a specific symbol, use it as a motif. E.G a flower, water etc; and reflect the feelings between the two characters by using these motifs at points of the song.
7.2. Using the stereotypical clashing 'red' and 'blue' colours when considering makeup looks for each character-- these could reflect their emotions without SHOWING it. (consider speaker to have softer, rounded shapes while the antagonist has jagged/ sharp designs. The start will be subtle, barely showing marks, but showing how they developed.
8. MISE-EN-SCENE
8.1. 'Lived in' room with clashing belongings- using smaller enviornments for the 'flashbacks'
8.2. Outdoor spaces = outdoor spaces reflect the freedom speaker feels- yet the makeup is fully there- cuts back during song
