Music Video: Update

The location reccie not only allowed us to envision a stronger image of our music video but also eliminate and contribute new ideas. We decided not to run with the idea of using a stop motion animated notebook due to the time constraints. The notebook would require a lot of thought and planning input in order to be achieved successfully and we were worried that this would distract us from filming the remaining sections of our music video. Had we enough time and experience this may have been a plausible idea.

Another concept that we're debating over eliminating was the location of the studio or room where our main performer would be seen amoungst paper-plastered walls. We were concidering whether or not we could achieve this whilst filming on location in Langley/Black Park and simply attaching images of "beauty" as presented by the media today on string hanging off the branches of the tree later to be torn off by our performer. One issue that arrises is the clash of the wooded location with the idea of burning the images of magazines/newspapers as it is highly dangerous and will most certainly be prohibited by the officials at Langley/Black Park. The idea of this concept may have been influenced by Taylor Swift's music video "Mine" displayed below.

The video above is a sample of an idea we had for a first shot in our video. When we arrived in this area, the floor was completely littered with cut down branches cracking beneath our footsteps, and we thought it would introduce the theme of nature really well. Not only that, but it's also a sound that's pleasing to the ear.

Another video from our recce of Keeley discussing possible ideas for the costume of our performer and colouring. Apologies for the blurriness of the landscape- I only just discovered how to manually change the focus on my camera.
