Initial Idea

The initial idea to my music video is a narrattive which follows the story of an older couple that met when they were just children. My main idea came from the film 'When Harry Met Sally", in the film there are mini-scenes thhat have an old couple telling a short story about how they met each other.

I've decided that I am going to adapt from this idea by having a 30 second clip at the beginning of my video of an old couple describing how they met, then the rest of the video will be seeing them through the different stages of their lives.
During the 'teenage' years I dont want them to officially be together as it will give my story more shape, also allowing me to follow the narration conventions of Torodov.

Band shots playing instruments with things you'd find in shops - Links back to my idea of playing drums with pots and pans, guitar with shoe box/ tissue box and elastic bands.

Practise music videos!

So, to get a crackin' music video as a group we have spent our doule lessons creating some music videos. Using a variety of different genre's we experiemented different ways to film. Each week, a different person was in charge of the camera, directing and editing. We were pretty impressed considering they were all done in only one hour and a half!!!
Doing these videos showed the complications that could occur in lip synching. I also learnt how to use the green screen and that the more shots you have the more variety in your music video.

Music Video Analysis

Artist and Title	Visual	Pace
Bob Dylan Subterranean Homesick Blues (First music video 1965)	Bob Dylan in the side of the shot holding card board cue cards that relate to the song. Tramp in the background and in an ally way all gray.	Country, jolly music but the action is smooth.
Pharcyde Drop Directed: Spike Jonze	4 rappers walking, moving, jumping etc. in reverse so the movement is robotic. They had direct address rapping to camera and there were only 3/4 shots all together. When they jump on and off shot it looks like they are on a harness. The water is poured down in reality but in the video it looks like it is gravitating upwards giving a really cool effect.	Again smooth pace as it was tracking from in front shot. Although the lip synching didn’t really work at times, it didn’t matter as you were distracted by all the movement in the mise-en- scene.
OK Go (2006) Here it goes again Director: Trish Sie	8 Treadmills, the band are dancing on them jumping on and off. The mise-en-scene seems a little tacky and not perfect but it doesn’t matter too much because it is mainly focused on the action. The colours are simple.	Movement within the speed of the treadmill. They jump with the beat of the music
Metronomy (2011) The Bay Director: David Wilson	80s filmed, white stilettos and bathing suits. Was actually filmed in Torquay looks like the French Riviera. Framed by other scenes in the video. James Bond film.	The frame moves along to the beat of the song also with the split screen when it comes on and off. One point legs open up the screen as they are being closed.
