Initial Ideas For Our Music Video

Initial Ideas For Our Music Video

- Black and white flashbacks. The whole of the video is going to be in colour but the flashbacks are in black and white to separate the past from the present.

- A lot of focus on memories. The song is about Kieron's battle with Cancer and his death, therefore the video will include things to do with the past to show how everyone's life was before Kieron found out he had Cancer.

- Direct eye contact when focus is on the main actress. This will be used to show emotion.

- Low saturation. This will be used to keep the video simple.

- Simple clothes, simple makeup, simple setting. Everything will be kept simple so the main focus is on the story that is being told through the video and the lyrics. Also everything will be kept simple to make it look more natural and real.

- Lyrical links. This is to make the video narrative based. We are making the video narrative based so the video can tell the story that the lyrics are telling. However we are making parts of the video performance based because Louise is going to be in the video herself singing.

- Shots moving in slow motion. These types of shots could be used to show time. Shots in slow motion almost look as if time is nearly frozen. The use of slow motion shots in our video could be to show that they want time to go slower as everyone wants more time with Kieron.

- Lots of closeups to show emotion. 

- Lots of long shots to represent the feeling of being lost and alone. 

- Shots of the main actress looking at old photographs. This is to show memory. These shots will be in black and white as she is reminiscing about the past.
