Last week I was on a film academy trip in Italy and got back on Tuesday night. Whilst I was away my group decided on an idea for our music video. My group consists of William Edgely, Abbey Douetil, Lizzy Ward Thomas and myself.
The idea they decided on was a music video that consists of both narrative and performance. The narrative would consist of a broken family where a husband is violent towards his wife. It will basically show the change from when they were happy until now and the pain that each one of them is going through.
The song my group members decided on was a song by Savage Gardens called 'Two beds and a coffee machine':
When my group confronted me with the idea, I thought the narrative was a good idea and could work really well. The only problem I saw was firstly the song is very slow and drags on a lot so the audience would get bored very quickly and seeing as what is going on in the video isn't extremely interesting it just wouldn't work. On top of that, the song only has a piano and a violin in terms of instruments so there would not be a lot to film inbetween the narrative.
Today I confronted them about the song choice, and how I personally thought it would work better with a more upbeat song to keep the audience interested. It turned out that the rest of the group felt the same so we decided we would start looking at more upbeat songs that would work with the same idea.
The song 'Time' by Chase and Status ft. Delilah came to mind as it has a similar story line to what we want to do:
This song is faster and more upbeat and so would work in terms of that. However, the only problem is that we want to film instruments and the song on this is done by mixers and does not involve classic instruments like guitars or drum kits.
I am going to keep searching for songs that would work and we are all going to come together in our group tomorrow and hopefully decide on a song.
