PLANNING - Location and Talent Shots

My main talent

This is my main talent I shot in my music video. I chose to use her as she has a very distinct look with her curly ginger hair. There is a lyric that says "Started off with her hair" and so with her hair this links very well. Also she is a good actor with very distinct facial features. Although the original song is sung by a male singer the lyrics are "She Said, I don't wanna go out chasing" and so I have decided to get her to lip sync as if she is saying "I don't wanna go out chasing". The inspiration for this idea came from the video for Common People by Pulp. View lyric analysis to get an idea of my breakdown of the lyrics.

Leeds Bridge

I chose to shoot at Leeds Bridge as the water was very still and it fitted with the song tempo. Also it was an asthetically pleasing shot and the lyrics are "voices telling her to stay behind". There is a shot with my subject looking over the water and this is her thinking about wether to go out or not.

Band Rehersal Space

This location is a rehersal space for the band that I filmed. The lights can change colour but I thought that the red would look good as it emphasises danger and also makes it eye catching to the audience. The red is a recurring theme and part of the band's identity and so having this location with colour re-appearing, the band become associated with the red.

Local Park

I chose to shoot some of my music video in the local park as I wanted it to be a normal relaxed style video. I also chose it as the sky was blue and so worked for the blue/green screen effect and this really allowed me to experiment with the psychadelic lights in the background. Also it shows how the girl in the video doesn't "wanna go out chasing" she just want's to have fun and dance.
