IDEA 2 – Music Video
Our group was really indecisive about whether to film an advert or a music video, we initially came up for ideas using both premises. Our idea for a music video was a complex process as we wanted to come up with something different yet neither of us really wanted to be in front of the camera, we decided to use self-shot clips and footage that could be found from others sources and create a montage video.
We planned to go for a sentimental and poignant feel to the music video, which then after a discussion of song choices which included ‘Kate Bush- This Woman’s Work’, ‘Jeff Buckley – Hallelujah’ and ‘Coldplay – Fix You’ We then decided to use the song ‘Mad World’ performed by Gary Jules.
We then discussed what type of footage we wanted to find and shoot ourselves to include in our music video, we brainstormed a list together, compiled with both footage we shoot ourselves and footage we would find through other sources, like YouTube. Our list was then separate into two sub-headings which helped us see what we needed to film more easily and how we would need to get the footage to use.
Self-Shot Footage Ideas
- Balloon into the air
- Weather; snow, rain - Cars
- Reactions; crying
- Splashes; puddle
- Dog running, Cat appearing delightful
- Passers by
- People falling down; slipping on ice
- Opening presents
- People drinking; having a good time
- Others hugging; signs of affection
- People leaving
- Flowers on the side of the road
- Graveyard; flowers
(News) Footage-Found Ideas
- Car Crash devastation
- Terrorism; World Trade Centre; 7/7 Bombings- Norway
- Pride; Royal Wedding
- Japan
- Pollution; China
- Chernobyl
- IRA
Though our initial result was to obtain a moving and emotional feeling to the video, we also wanted to create a small controversial feeling to the video as well; we were going to create this through the use of clips of terrorism and natural disasters.
