When listening to the song I am going to use for my music video, I had some initial thoughts and ideas as to what the plot could be. Some words and images came to mind including:
Dance, euphoric, utopia, gun shots, nighttime, robotic, scared to meet new people, alien, starship, eyes, galaxy, hysteria, Pet Shop Boys, Bloc Party, Sam Sparro, black & white/colour, fade.
This is the basic plot that came to mind:
- Point of view shots throughout (alien/robotic being?)
- Landing (dark lighting)
- Ramp of "spaceship"
- Delirious/strange contrasting colours
- Metallic
- Meeting new people/confused at new experiences
- Shaking hands/reflections
- Shooting stars
- Shots of people looking at the "being" in a strange way
- Dancers
- Eyes (circular theme)
- Tempo/beat matches the camera movement
- Walking past shop windows?
- Lightning/night sky
- Disco light to end? - Fade
With these ideas, I was able to create a storyboard for my music video to get the concept clear in my head, ready to start production:

ReplyDeleteYou need to add more detail about the research you did for the music video. What existing videos did you analyse? Where did you view them? Did this make a difference to how you decided to construct your own? What conventions did you notice? Which ones did you decide to follow, which did you decide to subvert?
