Location shots

Here are the location where I have choose to shoot my music video and the reason why.


Bruce house mixed com.
 A large room where I had space to set up my green screen for filming.Where i had space to set up adequate lighting. This is also where the piano stood which I used for some shots.














Forrest path
This was a long track in a remote looking part of a forest which was not too far away to shoot at. I was looking for a road which was not used by many people with trees lining its side. I used it for the beginning of the video as well as a large part of the lip syndic.








Findhorn
I had shot a lot of footage in the coastal town, it has a large number of different sceneries as well as beach which was good for a variety on shots.














Bruce house
Inside Bruce house i had shot some footage inside a dormitory because it looked like a child's bed room. as well as a generic living room

Casting

The actors in my music videos are 2 brothers. I choose them because they look similar which was good for the effect I wanted which was that of  a yopung boy and his older version singing about his childhood.

Angus Rose-Bristow

He will play the older version of the boy who m,ainly does lip-syncing in the video.He is a good choice for this role since he is an A-Level drama student.












Fin Rose_ Bristow


Fin is a amateur actor, whom I have choosen due to his similarities with his brother but also because of his young age..





















Calum McCrae






He plays the piano, I choose him because he was able and willing to play the piano

Story Board Point 21

Above I have posted my story board in 3 separate pictures.
I have attempted to create 5 different sections in my music video.

Frames 3,4,10,12,14 and 17 are all  part of the lip-sync section. In this section the person pretending to sing is standing in front of a tree. This is done when the lyrics are not very descriptive and/or a person sinning would introduce greater effect.

Frames 1,6,9,13,16, and 18 are all part of the boyhood section where a young version of the singer is enacting the things that are mentioned in the lyrics or an interpretation of it.

Frames 3,7,8,11,and 19 are part of the instrument section which are used as bridges mostly when there are no lyrics and you can hear 1 instrument clearly over all others. They will show a closeup of some piano keys being played or some drums being beaten to the same pace as can be heard in the song.

Frames 15 and 20 are the chorus sections. They also have lip syncing by the singer but this time they are in colour and there is a stream of childhood pictures and footage being played behind him of the young boy as a sort of memory reel.

Frames 21 and 22 are the dissolution section. This is more of a theme of many shorter clips of the 2 main characters leaving as well other things going away such as clouds water cars, etc. it is an open book. For one there will definitely a shot where the main lip-sync walks away from the tree.
Then there will also be the last shot where the face of the older singer fades into the face of the young boy.

Synopsis Point 20

The main character of my music video will be the singer. He wont perform with any instruments or a band but he will be lip syncing the song during the chorus. During the rest of the song he will be the main focus of the narrative. The narrative will follow him retracing his childhood as the lyrics of the song are very nostalgic for the singer. I want to maybe have 1 or 2 scenes where he as an older person looks onto his younger self doing things like playing the guitar which is mentioned in the song quite a lot. During the chorus I want him standing in a very dark room which would then light up as music gets louder and perhaps with the use of a green screen I could use some effects to make the scene unique. Another possibility would be flash childhood memory pictures behind him showing him grow up.

Key elements of my music video. Point 19

Andrew Goodwin states that every music video consists of  6 key features and I have chosen to follow some in the making of my music video.

I want to relate a lot of my visuals of my music video with the lyrics of the song to amplify them as much as possible. This confides with one of Andrew Goodwin's points.
I also want to use lip syncing, intertextuality,relation ship between music and visuals as well as genre specific themes which for me include filters as well as an arty look.
