A few days ago I went to a National Trust Park called Polesden Lacy in Dorking to look at some set ideas. It featured a lot of woodland and open space, which would be good for some of the shots we want to do.

What has happened?
As a group we decided to do a real artist as it may be easier if we want to do film after leaving Hurtwood, which I do! We have gone for an artist called Jo Birchall, and she is from Liverpool but based in London.
Here is our treatment for her video

Treatment
Jo Birchall – Something to say
The Concept of our music video, is about a
relationship in the past set in the 60’s with the style of old romance movies,
We want it to be personal to the singer, so we had the idea of her watching a
home movie of perhaps a relationship of someone related to her whilst she longs
for a similar relationship for herself. We would therefore start with a home
projector, with old film. We would have her lip-syncing whilst watching the
film as one performance element. The second performance element would be her with
the band actually performing with the projections in the background, which can
be out in with after effects. The narrative would be a relationship between a
boy and a girl in the 60’s; we would have a 60’s theme to it, and set it as a
first date. We aim to have the mood as romantic and sensitive to show Jo’s
innocent and girly side to her star image, Jo’s music is generally about love
and relationships so we want to keep the mood of this video to fit with her
general style and genre of her songs showing the beauty of romance and young
love.
There would be shots of him picking her up
in an old style car, then shots of them pulling in to a car park. We would then
have them walking along a street hand in hand talking and laughing by the
moonlight, then we would have him leading her up a staircase to a roof terrace
which he has decorated and made to look beautiful and fairytale like, they
begin to slow dance and then they end with a kiss.
Other small ideas
2 other ideas
Switchblade smiles Kasabian – a group of
underage boys on the town trying to get into clubs and drinking and fighting on
the streets. Showing harshness of reality and what the british public can be
like. Night time shoot
This would be similar to The Chemical
Brothers track galavize minus the masks and the break dancing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xu3FTEmN-eg
Do me a favor Arctic monkeys - want to do a
black and white video. Its an emotional song so would like to film in a council
estate telling a story, with a guy and girl an abusive father. Could work with
others.
This would be similar to Chase and Status’
Time http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=we9jeU76Y9E
Primary Idea
R U MINE? Storyboard
This is a small list of what I will need
Go pro with handle, which I am holding or
being followed with has to get wet
A delorean toy car
Beers
Fags
Swimming pool
Party
Walking
Nighttime
Lip sync lyrics
Black and white
This is a rough first draft with each verse
and chorus detailed
First move on ‘string’
Toy delorean goes past on time travelling
Heart shape made with hands
Finding hand to face with a side-to-side
movement
Tap my watch twice
Riding maybe a bicycle or just miming
Mind touch my head
Look beside down to the floor
Go crazy hand gesture
Show where I am (spin camera round)
Distant memory arctic hands
Smoke cigarettes on cant help myself
1 girl on R U MINE?
Then try to follow her after for follow up
Band playing now
Jump before “I guess what I’m trying to
say” into pool turns into color
Come out of pool on wished away back to
black and white
Grab a towel
Dry hair for a bit
Then stop on” time and space” with dry hair
with happy face
Repeat previous steps in different positions
and people
Band playing
Then run on the “thrill of the chase”
towards a fire with camera facing away with nothing but the fire there
Turn as I get there followed by some people
and I sit at the fire as they run around
Lie down on right there beside me and show
camera to both sides
Then show different people on the last R U
MINES?
Influenced by this, The Mitchell and Webb
