Here is our Video interview for our one page pitch.
Overview:
I know that for our music video
I want to capture a wide range of vibrant scenes with high quality cameras. We
do want to use actors and actresses to portray the idea of the plot however we
also want to be able to catch many good quality shots of different scenes. We
want everything to look cool and urban, and possibly would like to, experiment
with colour during the editing process to make the scenes look brighter. We want the song to capture vibrant scenes, perhaps getting ready to go on a night out, and the aftermath of coming home with mixed emotions of love. We want to capture both friendship and love, and how teenagers can experience a wide range of emotions through the stage in their life. We looked at the video for ‘ToVe Loves – Stay High’ and although we don’t like the concept of her taking drugs, we do like some of the shots used to show her confusion and sadness, which is something we would like to duplicate in this.
Song Choice:
Ideas for our song choice
include ‘Desire’ by Years and Years, we feel that we can create a story line to
go well with this. For example some of the lyrics include ‘Is it desire? Or is
it love that I’m feeling for you?’ the confusion of the emotions would fit well
with our idea and we could tell a story of the journey gone through in the song
on the road to finding love.
Location:
We want to film around near
where we live, particularly at night to make it more realistic and we wouldn’t
film late – as it gets dark early now. We will also try and film at someones
house to show the start and end of the journey.
Actors:
We would like to have possibly
one or two actors in the music video, with extras to add to the song and the
theme we want of friendship during teenage years. We would use the actors to
lip synch words, and I would get shots of them doing various things relating to
the music. Theme:
The theme of our music video is
going to be that of a journey, we want our music video to have emotions
attached to it, and have some form of a story. It all depends on our song
choice which we can apply the theme to. So for the song Desire by Years and
Years, the theme would be happy, vibrant and there would be the theme of love
attached to the video in some way or form. However if we chose a song like
Kathleen by Catfish and the Bottlemen, the theme would be slightly darker, and
more about a tumultuous relationship, and finding yourself.
Audience:
We are aiming my music video
towards people 16-24, who are the age range that mostly watch Youtube and are
more likely to take more of an interest into music videos with a story behind
them, which I know due to being within this age range, and asking many of my
friends if they are more likely to watch a music video again if it has a good
story to it. As opposed to barely watching it, and listening to the song.
Skills I need to make the
video:
The skills needed to make the
music video would be good quality camera skills, we really want to test ourself
with this video and research different tips and tricks to get high quality
camera shots – for scenic shots that we want to capture. As well as this we
will need to work well independently and be able to meet deadlines.
