Eleanor West produced a music video and created a rushes log to document the various footage shots taken and whether they were used or not. The log contains over 30 video clips ranging from 2 seconds to 48 seconds in length, with descriptions of each shot and comments on its suitability. Many clips could not be used due to issues like poor focus, lighting, or movement that did not fit the theme of the music video. Other clips required retakes or had parts cut out to make them work better. In the end, Eleanor was able to incorporate various sections of different clips throughout the final music video.
