Actual Music Video Idea (KC)

ACTUAL MUSIC VIDEO IDEA

• After discussing and re-evaluating the aspirations for our Music Video, we came to the conclusion that our original idea of a 1920s, Great Gatsby themed party, won't work out as planned. There are many reasons for this, one of the most crucial reasons is due to the lack of facilities that we need; in order achieve this style. Another significant reason is the financial issue. We aren't able to afford a well executed Music Video that consists of this theme. The Mise en Scene would have to be perfect for out audience to be able to distinguish the theme of our Music Video.
• The decision that was made, after our discussion, is that we still contain aspects of the 1920s, Great Gatsby theme. The Music Video will be performance and narrative. The performance aspect will be the boys on stage, and the narrative will be the 'lead' lady. It will be based in a 21st Century party where everyone, including the band, will be dressed in modern day clothing (apart from the 'lead' lady). The 'lead' lady's Costume will be a 'classic' 1920s dress that will ineffectively put the spotlight on her and depict the stereotypical idea of the 'classic' girl.
• We are in the current process in creating a Storyboard of the Music Video, which we will be using when filming. It will give a clearer vision of what will be happening in the Video. There will be precise and concise details (down to the exact second) of which camera angle should be used in which frame and whether it should be performance or narrative.
