planning -locations plus brainstorm

we brainstormed some ideas that we think can be incorporated into the music video

   

On my way home from school I noticed this setting I thought it would be ideal as it is mysterious 

wonder - emeli sande 

and could be an interesting place to film.We could experiment with the colour grading of the trees to produce a similar effect like Emeli Sande's Wonder music video . in addition the place hardly has any pedestrians passing through so the filming process will go more smoothly . the only problem is that we cannot experience rain as it may become muddy and will be tedious for the artist to perform etc. whilst planning we suggested that a woodsy are would be a cool place to film  for the music video as one of the scenes .

Another thing that we brainstormed was how the visual would appear. We decided that we would experiment with colour grading ,such as having a black and white visual and transition into colour this could make the video more interesting to view and engage with . in addition we feel that experimenting with colour grading could help the visuals reflect the lyrics . "constant surprises coming my way ."  the change of colour could portray the artist's surprise .

We decided not to challenge some of the basic conventions of a music video; as we have come to the decisions that we should have close-ups of the artist . this is a good way to market  the artist and id ideal to do when introducing a new artist.

during planning we thought that we could experiment with  stop start motion  when editing the film OK Go - end love is a prime example of how effective and creative this technique can be 

during planning we additionally considered using split screens whilst editing as demonstrated in beyonce's countdown this will add to the creativity of the music video
