Missing You - The Saturdays
Differences
The story behind the video: When we compare the story of our videos, we can see that they are not the same. In fact, the Saturdays don't really have a story behind their video as it is purely just them singing it in different locations. In ours, however, we have constructed a story behind it, using the flashbacks to represent a story that compliment the lyrics. I personally think that this is a better idea, purely because it gives the audience another point of interest as to just the artists.
The Locations: In the video, they are in a hot country. They have individual seperate locations (which we incorporated into our video), but it is a very summery theme and the locations include a beach and a grassy hills. Although we liked the idea of using a summery setting, we felt that using autumnal weather was more fitting for the lyrics of the song (as well as this, the sunshine was LONG gone by the time we started filming so we didn't actually have much time). We also use the inside of the house as a location, and this is not used at all in their video at any point.
The Costumes: This relates back to the locations, in the sense that they are dressed for summery weather. We, on the other hand, have gone for more of a mid-season look. The only problem with out costumes is that I'm wearing a scarf which makes it look very wintery. However, it was meant to be an accsessory.
The Party Scene: Towards the end of the song, they have a party scene in the video. We originally contemplated trying to replicate this in some way, but then we realised it would be too difficult to compose such a scene. Saying this, I'm glad we decided against it, because again I don't think it fits with the theme of the lyrics and I much prefer our idea of using a story containing flashbacks.
