Initial Ideas

In order to gather some initial idea for our music video we printed off the lyrics to the song and read through them to see what ideas came to mind. The image above shows the initial ideas we had for the narrative of our music video when we first viewed the lyrics. Making a note of our initial means that when we come to deciding on the narrative, we already have a basic structure to work with and grow from.

 

 The following images are examples of things that we will include in our music video and basic images that can help to give a visual to our initial ideas for our music video.

 

Inspiration from Real Media Texts

Throughout the planning process of this task we took inspiration from many places such as films and other music videos whilst also using our own ideas to create the perfect narrative and look for our music video. One particular music video we took inspiration from was Jamie Lawson "I wasn't expecting that". The narrative for this music video follows a couple in reverse from old age back to when they were childhood sweethearts before returning to them when they are older and the women is dying. The video shows the couple through the ages and at different milestones of their relationship such as marriage and having children. We took inspiration from this video as we liked the idea of showing how our couple aged and what they go through within their lifetime. that concept then inspired us to do the photograph sequence where we see images of our couple at different stages in their life as we felt if we create a greater impact on the audience of our music video.
