Further Changes

Choosing a song to create a music video to is proving more difficult then realised for our group. As you have seen we have explored several ideas and songs, taking several angles to the song. Our first option was Kate Nash - Foundations where we were to use  a split screen and just follow the story of several people (probably using us to film). We then moved away from that idea, changing it to Together in an Electric Dream where we would take the 80s theme and go crazy with it, creating dance moves however as a whole we were not so keen on the idea as it could turn out quite cheesy and not how we expected. Furthermore we explored several other ideas including: Gossip - Heavy Cross which we looked into most detail coming up with a whole idea of a 'chase' where the boy was mesmerised over this girl so tried everywhere to find her whilst she was teasing her. One by one we went off the idea, not liking the concept as we felt it was too cliche. Moreover went on to look at Florence and the Machine - Shake it out, after becoming very unsuccessful in our ideas we all sat and discussed what to do with this song, wanting it to be final. We then conjured up an idea to do a modern take on a fairy tale, like little red ridding hood giving us an interesting narrative, all agreeing the audience would find the idea interesting but then we faced the difficulty of what would represent the wolf or the grandma without the video turning out horribly wrong. After loosing faith on that idea we all went out, cleared our head - stripped everything back to basics and began to story board again. It took a while but after much thinking we thought we would revert back to our initial idea. We are wanting to have fun so we have decided to take a more humorous take to a music video, jotting down several ideas of how we could create this idea. However, we now face the problem that the video will not turn out how expected, with people not finding the video funny. Also we have no narrative to the video, just a montage of humorous clips. All that is left to be done now is pick a song we all want, with a possible contender being Metro Station - Shake it.
