14 my plan
in comparison to post one our ideas for this task have changed throughout. out initial idea was a typical love story gone wrong. we would have used a song, such as James bay let it go and had a man in a room looking at old photos possibly of the couple. we also had the idea of the photos then morphing into the actual memories to create the video and him destroying them to link back to the lyrics of the song. despite liking this idea me and Milly decided it wasn't really very interesting to us.
during summer, our friend started to produce his own music. after listening to it and really enjoying it we decided that this was what we wanted to base our music video on. the style of music he is producing is more appealing to us which meant we really got into it. our first idea was to have Wes (the artist) just rapping toward the camera to show him and his music off as it would look very natural, but, we decided we wanted to have something more to the video to make it more interesting. we then came up with two possible ideas. whilst still including Wes performing into the camera, our first idea was to have a backing story which linked to the lyrics. we thought this would add interest to the video and give the reader an explanation of the lyrics. it would also give me and Milly the ability to play around with different camera shots and angles and miss-en-scene. our second idea was was to have the entire video based around wes himself. whilst again still including him performing into the camera we were going to show what he does in his everyday life, for example, him with his friends or the journeys he makes each day. this not only allows the viewer to become connected with the artist but also adds a certain realness to the lyrics as it makes the whole thing very personal.
