About two weeks ago myself and my group decided to change our song due to the fact that we did not feel the song we had would get us a good mark and we not did not feel 100% happy with what we were creating. At first i thought changing our song 3 weeks before the deadline was a very big risk as we would be left with very limited time to film new footage; however over looking our previous song and the work we had completed so far i could understand why the rest of the group were keen to change the song.
Our new choice of song is by Bat for Lashes called Moon and Moon. Kimberley has drawn the storyboard which we all are comfortable with. The story board focuses predominantly on narrative rather than performance, i find that this will give the music video more life and will captivate the audience more, make them want to carry on watching. The narrative aspect also fits in well with the slow tempo and solitary feel of the song.
The narrative focus' on a girl waiting for someone to come home. Initially you assume it is her boyfriend, however it is left ambiguous, the male character is introduced when he comes home and is greeted warmly by the girl. The latter part of the video is the couple together having a lovely time and then lastly as he leaves, she returns to a state of solitude and lovingness. With this idea, my group and i really wanted to capture how someone can feel so alone and dependant on another person. The previous song - we did not have a solid narrative, therefore changing the song and the storyboard gave us the oppurtunity to create a new, interesting narrative that we were all comfortable and more certain with.
The colour scheme will be muted and dark colours, reflected to cold, lonely feel of the music video. The props will be very minimal as too many props and objects would confuse the audience and would not fit in with the video.
Seeing as we have little time to complete this, we have decided to still use certain cut aways from the original video where kim is not singing as it fits perfectly well with the new song. Filming wise, Kim and Iva filmed at Iva's house last weekend, we now have all the footage needed s all that is left is for us as a group to edit and make the video as good as possible!
Now we have all the footage completed and we have already begun editing using previous footage from the previous song where kim is not singing, we now have little left to edit. Hopefully it will turn out as good as we hoped it would!
