Today we decided that we needed to make some definite decisions for our video so that we could begin to research more about Kate Nash and her appearances in her videos, to get the way she and her songs represent her.
Firstly we decided on our locations.
- We decided that as the song we have chosen is a love story, our video should be shot in two houses, the artist's house, and the boy she is in love with, to demonstrate the separation she feels. Also, showing the separation in their lives, but also the similarity.
- Our second location we decided would be to hopefully use the drama studio in our school, as Chris does the lighting for the school plays we thought that we could blacken the drama studio out and put one spot light on, and have instruments playing in that spot light for a delicate touch to the song as it is quite a delicate song and the subject it is on is delicate also. We also decided after listening to the instrumentals in the song that a guitar and a violin would be the instruments we would film.
Secondly, we decided our characters.
We decided it would be just one girl and one boy, we thought about bringing other characters in but decided it would be best just to use the two characters so that we could really show its about them, and not about any other character involvement whatsoever.
Thirdly, we decided on our genre.
Fitting with the song, we decided that we would base it obviously, on romance. Based on the girl character in love with the male character, and trying to get across just how much she loves him.
Fourthly, we discussed our camera shots we would use.
We decided that we would need to use a wide range of shots to have some variety in our video, including close-ups to get the emotion across from when the artist is singing.
We also decided to do some medium close-ups when we are filming a holding hands scene, to try and demonstrate love and show the closeness that the artist wished she had with the boy.
We also decided to shoot some mirror scenes, perhaps with the guitar playing.
Fifthly, we decided how we would go about our editing.
We decided it would be best to limit the special effects due to the pace of the song, as the point that is coming across in the song is slow and meaningful, so special effects may take away the focus of the song.
We also decided that we would focus more on getting lip syncing right rather than worrying about special effects.
