My actors are always busy and unable to shoot leading me to completely give up on this idea. Im using my initiative to change the whole concept of the music video, even if it means its more work for me to do - at least i will have my work completed.
My idea is to stick with my original idea of using the song - Just a silhouette, this is an easier song to base to narrative to compared to the song Photo booth, which limits me to the 'photo booth' idea. Because of my actors i originally chose are unhelpful and too busy to use , i've decided to use my friend Rosie Webber, a friend who lives very close to home and who i see weekly. This will definitely be an advantage seeing as i will be able to reshoot when i need too without any problems.
My new idea is to make my whole video as a stop motion, this will enable me to use clever animations throughout. Not only this but i have used stop motion before using Rosie and i feel it was very successful.
After searching the web for further inspiration I came across this beautiful stop motion video called ‘Lost Things’ , which I feel really inspired by. The location is set in a home environment and has a dream-like element that I want to include in my music video. My idea will be subverting the typical conventions of a rock music video as I am taking a much softer approach to the ideologies behind it, making it narrative based rather than focusing on the band and the ‘sex drugs and rock n’ roll’ image most Indie bands portray.
Seeing as its snowing and probably will be here a fair few more days, leading me to decide to shoot some shot outside in the snow and make it cute and wintery, this could work well as the song has a sweet melody that would fit with the cute look i want to go for.
I also want to base some of the narrative inside Rosies house seeing as its decorated in a typical English style - fitting in with the style of the video.
My current idea is:
-Begin with Rosie walking up a snowy path (long shot)
-Comes closer and focuses on her hands putting gloves on, then panning up to her face which is really smiley and happy with her hair flowing.
-Walks round corner to house, outside meets the pet cat and kisses/plays with him.
-Camera positioned inside house and films Rosie taking off wellies outside.
-Comes in, closes door, takes gloves off and coat.
-Places coat on banister, walks upstairs.
-At top of stairs she find a old looking box in which she opens and discovers old rusty vintage style keys.
-Places key in door and slowly opens it.
-She enters room slowly and looks fascinated smiling a lot.
-High angle shot looking down on Rosie, turning round looking happy.
-Films her jumping onto huge comfy looking bed.
-Duvet covers move down using stop frame , then come back up and tuck her in bed.
-She gets cosy whilst rain
