Filming Problems

There have been quite a few problems with filming my music video first draft. The main reason for these problems was not finding good locations, or problems with the whether but actually the actors themselves who I had asked to be the band within my video.
At the start of the year I asked them if they would do it and they said they would. Countless times I had reminded them to learn the song and to make sure they definitely would do it, which they kept agreeing to.
I asked around for locations and managed to get my dad's good friend to allow me to use the warehouse where he worked which was near enough the perfect location that I wanted for my video. As the band performance is the main focus of the music video I thought it would be a good idea to make this the more prioritised part of my video. I made sure I organised and told them everything that was going to happening.
Once I had organised it for the specific day I made sure they all knew, as they didn't say they couldn't do it I believed they all could. However on the day one of them decided they couldn't do it and didn't think to tell me. So I had to rearrange the day of the location and made sure once again they all knew.
This day was my last chance to film so I made sure they knew how important it was, then I came to realise on the day we were meant to film again that they hadn't even learnt the song and therefore I could not film again. Which ended with me not having any footage for my first draft.
This means I now will need to find new actors to use in my video, in order to get these new actors I will send emails to all students asking for volunteers so then hopefully I will be able to trust them, and create a good and professional looking music video.
