The Three Idea's
Idea 1:
Our first idea was a song called 'Heavy Cross' by Gossip. Our idea was to have a chase story of a boy and a girl. The boy bumps into the girl by accident, she fails to acknowledge him however he falls deeply in lust. He then decides to chase after this girl in hope to get her number! He is desperate and she is leading him on, playing the 'bitch' role. After a lot of chasing, he finally catches up with the girl only to find out that she is actually with a girl and is not interested in him. This was to add a bit of humour to our video.
Pros:
1) There would be a good narrative to the song, making it easier to arrange shots.
2) Our locations can be pretty much anywhere! Making our filming schedule a lot easier for us all!
3) It is light-hearted and fun.
Cons:
1) The whole chase may become boring for the audience as there would only be a peak at the end of the video.
2) We would need to rely on a male role and this may cause difficulties with the filming schedule.
3) Our group don't feel passionate enough about this idea so we may not dedicate ourselves to it as much as we would like to.
Idea 2:
Our second idea is a song 'Shake It Out' by Florence and The Machine. Our idea for this music video was to have a fairytale storyline. We were going to use Little Red Riding Hood with a modern twist to it. We planned to have the idea of the wolf, the grandma and the woodsman. The wolf symbolizes the evil trying to attack Red, the grandma being the safety for red and the woodsman trying to attempt to help Red fight off the evil with good. Red is to be an innocent girl on travels but the evils of everyday life are trying to get into Red's head. Hallucinations would be involved to add the evil effects. The good would then be keeping Red sane and in control of her thoughts. When Red thinks the evil is about to get her, she begins to panic and her life becomes in danger. She then finds comfort and safety where she escapes the evil.
Pros:1) The narrative is very interesting and I think the audience would really enjoy the ups and downs included in the storyline.
2) The scenery would be much more 'magical' and it would include a lot of fun.
3) We would be able to really experiment with our editing and filming skills.
Cons:1) The audience may not be able to understand the influence of Little Red Riding Hood.
2) The audience could mistake the fairytale as a story about a mentally ill person/person on drugs.
3) It will be very difficult to make the video look good and not cliche.
Idea 3:
Our final idea is to take the song 'Shake It' by Metro Station and do a parody type video. We would be using different shots to show different scenes of us 'having fun'.
Pros:1) We would really enjoy making this music video! We all feel that this idea suits us the best and we would be able to do the most with it!
2) This idea will allow us to really test our editing and we can experiment a lot with different shots!
3) It is light hearted and fun which will be easy to watch!
Cons:1) It may come across as cliche and the audience may not find the video funny
2) There is no narrative so the audience may not enjoy the video
3) It will take a lot of time to edit our shots which may mean shortening our filming time
4. Edit All Together
