Problems and Solutions

Going over our storyboard, Myself and my group felt that we did not have a solid idea for our music video which is why we decided to change the song allowing us to have a proper narrative. The song we have now chosen is Moon and Moon by Bat for Lashes.
Kimberley has created a detailed story board so that we can accurately film all of it in the shortest amount of time. Because we haven't got much time left, we have decided that we will get more done with Kimberley and Iva doing the filming and myself and Almaz are dealing with other aspects of work that need to be completed, such as editing, and group and indiviual blogging. This time, what we are going to use is one of the larger and better quality cameras instead of different cameras so that the image will make the whole video look better, professional and not juvenile as much. The story board focuses predominantly on narrative rather than performance which is what I personally  find more interesting in a music video as it captivates an audience. The narrative aspect also fits in well with the slow tempo and solitary feel of the song. The story is about a girl waiting for someone to come home. You assume it is her boyfriend, however it’s not completely expressed what their relationship is based on. During the middle of the video, the male character is introduced when he comes home and she greets him warmly. The rest of the video is them together and then lastly as he leaves, she returns to a state of solitude and lovingness. With this idea, we wanted to really capture how someone can feel so alone and dependant on one person. In addition, one could look at the narrative as a brutal evaluation on the roles of men and women in society; that as a female she will always be waiting on him and his commitment to her is dependable on how he feels.
The colour scheme will be muted and dark colours, reflected to cold, lonely feel of the music video. The props will be very minimal as too many props and objects would confuse the audience and would not fit in with the video.
