After having gained permission from our artist Amanda Rogers, our group decided to listen to the song and start to brainstorm some ideas. The notes below represent the decisions we have made so far. We're also in the process of arranging a reccie to explore possible natural locations. At the moment our list of areas includes Black Park, Langley Park and Burnham Beeches. Our group have estimated that the Burnham location will be the most suitable judging by the visual research we've done so far.
Camera & Editing
- Incorporating a flip book (made by our group) as a way of displaying lyrics which will be filmed in stop motion
- Perhaps other use of stop motion in exterior locations as well as interior.
- Achieved through either filming in live action and handpicking stills which will be strung together in After Effects to form a stop motion animation OR taking separate photographs
- Main performer in black + white in a coloured room ripping magazine paper off walls, to reveal a layer of b+w news paper underneath. As the paper is ripped off the performer slowly turns to colour and the surroundings turn b+w.
- Inter-cutting shots of all of our group members portraying the role of "Amanda" throughout music video- or simply in one section. Each member of our group would serve to represent the different definitions of beauty.
Mise-En-Scene
- Use of red thread that will be present in every shot as a constant for the video. This will reflect the pre-existing album design from which our song was taken. The red thread will also reflect this idea of "heartwood" and finally lead to a string heart in the palm of our performer.
- Ripping and burning newspaper and/or magazine images to represent turning your back to the way our society defines beauty.
- Close-up shots of our performer in a billowing dress running
- Use of a general nature theme and/or elements to reflect the image of Amanda Rogers
Locations
- Filmed in two main locations- a nature park/forest and a studio or room
- Nature location must include trees
