Production Post - Alterations made along the way

• Initial Idea - Montage of Monique and her lover as a couple. Monique walking through Hyde Park miming the lyrics to 'A Thousand Years' by Christina Perri. She finds clues around the Rose Garden which trigger flashbacks of her past relationship with her lover. Towards the end of the song, she walks out of the confined archway into an opening to a fountain, where her lover is waiting for her. She is finally reunited with him, after waiting for "a thousand years".
• I considered changing the video slightly by making it so that her lover is in the army, hence why she feels like she has not seen him for so long, but is willing to wait for him for a thousand years.

• When we got to Hyde Park, Monique was uncomfortable with miming in public so I decided that the miming would be filmed in a studio-like room, such as the black recital room at my school.
• We also didn't get to film everything in Hyde Park and needed to return to film the flashbacks but this was difficult to arrange due to Winter Wonderland being set up.
• I originally wanted the studio footage of Monique miming to show her sitting on the floor in a black room with spotlight lighting, illuminated by tea-light candles and rose petals surrounding her. However, seeing as this was a fire hazard, and the bad weather would make it difficult to film outside, I decided to opt for a Adele style, 'Rolling in the deep' shoot with Monique sitting on a chair in the middle of a dark room, illuminated by spotlights as she mimes the lyrics.
• It turned out that the footage from the studio shoot was of a higher quality than that from the Hyde Park shoot, and seeing as Winter Wonderland is open until January 5th but my deadline was before Christmas, I decided to have the majority of the video of Monique singing in the studio, with the Hyde Park footage of her finding the letter scattered throughout.
