Characters

Louise

Joe

When considering characters to act in our music video, I felt that me and partner already knew that Joe and Louise would be the main characters. This is because they wrote the song and should therefore play a major part in constructing the music video for it. They are both also the correct age for our target audience, therefore they will be more relatable for our target audience.

In order for our music video to appear realistic and professional  we had to consider the style of dress for both our characters. We briefly looked at mise en scene ( clothing) within our mood board and came to a decision that we ere going to dress our characters formally. As you can see from the images to the left, both our characters are wearing black and white only, this is because of our decision to film in black and white. We feel that black and white mise en will benefit the music video quality. The formal dress style also helps the audience identify the narrative, as their dress style appears as if they are heading out for a meal or even a date.

Mood Board

Above is a video of me and my partner Georgina Jefimik discussing our Mood Board idea. We created a Mood Board so that all of our ideas were in one place and that we could refer back to it when we come to create our music video. This Mood Board allows us to change our idea if we need too, even though our idea is quite definitive. Below are a few images of each selection of our Mood Board:

Our First Music Video Discussion

The video above is a discussion that me and my partner Georgina had. We introduced the brief and had a discussion on our initial ideas that we obtained from our previous research. However the ideas that we have discussed are not final.

Copyright Issues

I have created a Presentation in order to display my research into the issues of Copyright, so that I can fully understand the laws of using Copyright protected music for my music video.

Evaluating Screenshots

I have evaluated a few screen shots from the videos that have inspired us in order to pin point the exact features we like from each video. By using screenshots it has enabled me to view the features and consider ways to utilise them.
