FINALISING MY IDEAS

Finalising My Ideas

In regards to my music video, as I have already touched on briefly in my previous post, I hope to construct a music video that conforms to the links of a narrative genre. I hope to have a light storyline throughout my music video with additional lip syncing and brief conceptual ideas.

Story line…

Through the song ‘Bird Set Free’ I hope to show the events of a mysterious event which is unknown to the audience. I then shall show the female (the victim) finding confidence and expressing herself through a journey of movement.

The music video will begin within the black studio space which I have described within my Reece assessment. The female character is clearly awoken by something that jolts her from her sleep.  She then begins her journey for expression and dance through the forest during the chorus. She then next verse begins, we then see the female character back in the original studio space.  To finales the video I hope to use the likes of special effects to physically transform her into a bird. I additionally intend on using the likes of smoke to create more atmosphere and insure the video is interesting. 

Further development...

A mysterious event occurs and the female lead is supposedly dead. The music video follows her motion when she wakes in a 'dream' like state. At the end she then transforms into a bird. Thus allowing the female lead to represent her as a 'Bird Set Free'. 

Scene 1=

• Verse one
• In the studio
• Lip sync 

Scene 2=

• Chorus
• In the forest
• Show movement and expressions (by herself- she can’t be controlled).

Scene 3=

• Verse two
• In the studio
• Throughout the whole of this song it is about progression and becoming more confident, this is not only reflected within the lyrics but also within the beat and rhythm of the song.

Scene 4=

• Last chorus
• Within the forest
• Show confident moment and expression
• Use of smoke 
• Turns into a ‘bird’ herself at the end of the song

Costumes

• In regards to the choice of costumes I have decided to cloth the male actor (the ‘abusive’ boyfriend) in all black clothing to reflect his mood and ultimately create a ‘dark’ atmosphere.
• In regards to the female costume, she shall be clothed in light- coloured clothing within the studio scenes and then dressed in all white for the chorus scene to show her true self and innocence’s.

Location

I have deliberately chosen to use the links of the forest and ocean as my main ‘chorus’ locations as they contrast greatly with the like of the studio location. This, I hope insures that the audience understand that this location is one to allow her to be her true self and not have to worry about her assumed ‘bad’ boyfriend.

Actors

When choosing the actors for my music video I wanted to insure that both where confident and able to work together well.
