In the video will be Max Hallam (vocalist), Ben Harris (lead guitar), Jordan Halford (bass) and Callum Wills (drums). All will be featured heavily in the video, especially Max, the lead singer as we feel we need to get close up shots to display his persona and to aid the star image. At first, we were thinking of including numerous extras in the video (20-30), to just dance about so in keeping with the lyrics. However, we decided that this could make the video look over-complicated and it could just be an impossible task so decided to just use the band members in the video.
What?
For a music video, we just have a simple performance from the band, making it an illustrative video. In some cases, the lyrics go with shots in the video . For example when the lyrics say "this one's for dancing" the shot then shows the band dancing, so the actions will be in keeping with the lyrics. We did consider including a storyline but felt for the genre of music we were doing felt a straight forward illustration would be the best option.
Where?
We have only chosen to film in one location to shoot our music video, this being in an open field. We felt that this would be a good way to represent the song as for the genre being indie, makes it look quite alternative. The shots will be both high angle and low angle and as the field is large open space this enables us to to film these shots. As we still aim to shoot in night-time, the video being in a large open field allows us to be able to have lots of lighting without causing any disturbances.
Why?
We have chosen to use a simple performance video as it allows us to illustrate all the good conventions of the music video. Both Harry and I felt that if we tried to over-complicate the video, it would not look good quality and that by keeping it simple .
How?
We will make our video using 2/3 HD cameras, which we are borrowing. We also intend on using a set of ladders to enable us to get high and low angle shots. By producing our risk assessment and storyboard, this has allowed us to be prepared to film at any date. However, we still need to create a schedule so we can get the filming done as soon as as possible, which will save us time as we will then not have to film every shot as the order it is on the storyboard.
