Basic Concept For our Music Video



Concept

After analysing the lyrics of the song we have chosen, we came to understand that the artist (Samuel Ford) was talking about a an incident within a relationship to which the female had maybe cheated or betrayed her partner in some way. Therefore the lyrics then talk about how he forgives the female for what she has done and although it has effected the partner he believe they can become a strong couple again.

With this information we started to gather a few ideas about the different types of locations, costumes and the basic plot of what was going to happen. We decided the basic idea was going to be a montage of shots between two people in a broken relationship reminiscing over the times that they had in their relationship before they split up. Both characters will be filmed taking a journey somewhere and stopping at different location along the way, the camera will cut between the male and the female travelling throughout the video. We will keep on cut to a cork board which would have multiple photos of the couple at different points in their relationship, such as, their first date and their first time at the beach, when each person is at the location that these moment happen, it will switch to the photo on the board. The shots would be jumping between the two people travelling all in one direction (i.e. the male will be filmed going only left and the female will be filmed only going in the right direction), this creates the idea that they are going to meet somewhere (foreshadowing what actually happens) in the same location, not knowing the other is going there. Finally they meet at the last location and seeing each other reminds them how much they mean to one another, making them rekindle their relationship.

Locations:

The type of locations that we planed on shooting at we places like a beach, a forest, a café, the boy's and girl's bedroom and Marriot's way (bridleway), each of these locations would have a significant meaning to each other.

Costumes:

Costumes aren't really a integral focus of our music video as I feel it would be best if the characters just wore casual generic clothes that teenagers would wear. This is just because our music video is about two teenagers sorting out their relationship and if we were to alter the costumes to anything slightly abnormal it would create a new enigma for the audience and take away the focus from the story we are trying to convey.
