The brief outline for the music video that I would like to direct is this; as the song starts there is a count in from 1 to 4 and during this I would like to have 4 different establishing shots (cinematography) of natural/rural locations all changing on the numbers that are counted (editing) then one slow pan of another different location when the piano and the beginning of the songs is playing. When the lyrics start I would very much like to have another closer establishing shot of the band all looking at the camera, I will then cut to close ups of the band, between these close ups I will add footage of the 'day in the life' sort of events that are film throughout the day of the shoot. The close ups will eventually stop in the song and more footage of the band and friends will carry on this time with the shots getting darker and darker towards sunset, for the final frames I want there to be some sort of camp fire related shots where the band and friends are sat enjoying each other's company, my main aim for this music video is that I want it to be very candid i.e for it to feel like the audience is actually their with the band. For the final 2 or 3 shots I will have shot of the band alone walking, then a long shot of the band/group all together looking into the camera as the first sign of breaking the 4th wall and for the final shot I will have an establishing shot of a natural/rural setting again this time at sunset.
In the editing process I will change all of the footage to black and white and then add more of an orange tinge to make it look similar to footage from a super8 camera but with a more modern feel as it reflects the bands modern style.
In reflection of the music video and the casting our group has decided not to cast people to play the band that we have created but to instead cast a couple to be in our music video. I feel this will give the video more of a narrative format rather than an abstract format. The couple will give a narrative to the music video also and will relate more to the lyrics and the theme of love embedded within them. In post production editing I will not change the footage into black and white, I will only change the colour filter to more of a sepia style filter. By not changing the colour into black and white I feel it will reflect the theme better as more vivid colours will be seen.
