lighting ideas

As lighting is going to play a significant part of our music video I went on Youtube and looked a various different videos where lighting played a large part in the music video. I found that No Harm by the Editors, uses different lighting which has great significance in the music video.

Tennis Court - Lorde - Initial Ideas

Change of music video song choice

Myself, Abbie and Amy made the decision to change songs, initially we were using the song 'Take a Walk by Passion Pit'. However the closer we came to begin filming the more problems we had with the song. Firstly, when creating the story board we felt like our ideas for the music video were running out of steam and the initial ideals we had weren't great too either. When looking over the story board and attempting to see the our pictures in real life, we couldn't imagine it to be good content which made less confident about creating the video. Another problem we came across was that the singer for the song 'Take A Walk' was male, and we was having difficulty coming up with a reason for why a female was the lead in the song, as it was inconvenient for us to get a male singer. We also didn't think that our ideas were realistic and achievable for the timescale we have, as our idea for the song was to travel to different locations and get footage, this was proving difficult as to when we were going to do it due to us all having other commitments and not being avalible to travel to locations like Sheffield at the same time.


The song that we have decided to change to is 'Tennis Courts' by Lorde. We felt like this song would be much more suitable as we are able to use suitable locations located closer to use which are more accessible and easy to get to, meaning we are able to film on more occasions. The lead sing is also female, this means we can get someone from our group is able to be the lead singer in our video which means we don't have to find someone out of our group to do it which is much more suitable. We also have a much clearer idea for this song, which will make story boarding it much more easier. here is the song with lyrics:

Final story board - Passion Pit - Take A Walk

Although in the end we didn't end up doing this song, I still think that we have learnt a lot from creating the majority of the story board to this song. As it has gave us better knowledge on how to story board to a high standard, and has been good practice. Here is how far we got with the story board before changing songs:
