Only One - Yellowcard

This was the first real film I made. It was done as a piece of coursework for my A2 Media Studies, and had to be a music video on the song of our choice. I had a real obsession with this song at the time, which was why I chose it, and was particularly proud of the idea of filming the band playing in the church, as it reinforced the theme of death in the film.

I know it’s quite a morbid one, but my Media Studies teacher always said that it is easier to make a depressing film than a comedy or drama, which so far in my filmmaking has proven to be completely true!

It wasn’t a bad first attempt at creating a music video, considering it was done completely individually over the course of about 6 months. However when I look back I can’t quite grasp why it took me so long, as I think I could now produce the same quality film in a matter of days :P
