Can't use the effects I need

One shot of the original video contains a focus pull which we were unable to produce with the camera as it was not complex enough. Without access to a camera capable of a focus pull I had to make do with the shot we have. The shot in particular is framed by my character and the inside of the car with Jack's character in the background trying to get my attention. The original video uses a focus pull to re focus on the male character, however the camera also pans slightly so he is centered in the shot. We were able to film a shot similar to this however there is more emphasis on the pan, as it lacks the focus pull.

Representing Homosexuality

In my music video one of my main characters is a gay man which breaks stereotypes as in the past it would have been unheard of to have a main character be gay. To avoid being offensive I chose not to portray the character as incredibly camp and "obviously" gay because I don't want to offend anyone by conforming to certain stereotypes of gay people. Furthermore it wouldn't have fit the role for the character to be overly camp, I wanted to be somewhat true to the original with the acting.

Lighting effects

As far as lighting goes, there are only two locations in my video and one is outside. Seen as it wasn't dark there was no need for extra lighting outside, however in the living room I turned the lights on as it got darker. This does count as a continuity error as the lights are not on earlier in the production, however it is hard to notice due to the filters I have put on the clips.

It was quite a dull day which affected the lighting, however the filter I added somewhat counteracts this. Ideally it would have been good if the weather was sunny and warm, mainly because I caught a cold filming it was so bad. The filter doesn't really make it look like it is a nice sunny day, but it does mask it well enough to appear like the original video.
