Planning : Post One

The brief idea for our music video is that we will shoot a narrative video with a story line of our artists looking for his girlfriend who has left him. This will involve shots of our performer wandering through woods, streets and public areas such as a train or bus stations looking for her, but not finding her at al. I also had the idea for the end of the music video for a shot a house door with either a knock or a doorbell ring and just a letter with the words 'Sorry' written on them for a book end to the music video.  Also at the start  of the music video, a letter is found by our performer with a break-up apology written on it. This would be a good way to book end the music video.

For the performance part, shots of our artist in the colleges media suite playing guitar singing into the camera. Some shots of just playing. Some shots of just singing, and some combined.
The main characters that will be in this video is our artist/ performer, Jay Atherton. Our female extra will be played by Shannon Hamnnett. The overall feel of the video will be quite lonely and isolated so the use of only a few people will create this effectively

Another good way to create this isolated feeling would be to do a shoot in an empty hall with our performer on stage singing alone.








Because of the time of year we are filming in, i hope to use some woodland areas to also recreate the feeling of loneliness. By using forest areas this will also create a feeling of isolation. I am hoping to use Brungerly Park in Clitheroe. here is a photograph from google of the park during mid winter covered in now. this would be my ideal set location with snow, but it is looking unlikely that by Monday it will have snowed, therefor a simple dead wood will also effectively create an empty look.





I am hoping to shoot as much footage possible in one day and because we have the first slot on Monday for green-screen shooting, we can go back to Clitheroe and get footage from hopefully Brungerley. Because we have an early slot for shooting, if we do not get enough footage, we will still have plenty of time to get extra if we need it.
