Costumes and Props

This is the Youtube video i have made to explain about the costumes and props that we will be using when we film our music video and Audley End. 

The Corrs- Runaway Micro Element

I came across the song called 'runaway' by The Corrs. This is a video that includes many conventions similar to the ones that we would like to include in our music video. 

The use of the woman running in slow motion is effective as it reflects the song because it is called 'runaway'. We are definitely considering using this in our song when we start filming our piece. After talking to our media teacher, we all think that it is a very good idea and it would be a strong shot. It will makes us work harder on final cut express as we will have to slow the shot down which i am really looking forward to doing. 

Also as most of our video will be filmed outside there are wonderful shots of trees and natural scenery, this helps us as to know how to film outside by trees effectively and what shots look best outside so it gives us more of an understanding about the different types of shots with is always helpful. 

Shot layout

For the first verse of our song we have sorted out roughly what we are going to shoot for each line.

 (instrumental)

The opening scene would be one of a few ideas:

-either panning across part of Audley end gardens and showing the view to give an establishing shot then across to the girl sat on a bench kicking her legs

-or the opening shot will be a girl sat on a bench or on a wall kicking her legs looking down then cutting to a mid shot of her standing-to which the instrumental stops.

I heard a story the other day,

Mid shot of her lip syncing whilst walking, possibly but always looking into the camera

A love one, 
Close up of her face looking down, then camera panning down to the flower

I got mad and i walked away,

shot of tracking the flower falling onto floor as she drops it in slow motion

Its just another one,

So i thought to myself .....WHY WHY

Sweep shot of the top of girl which then gradually goes to part of the Audley end garden.
The 'WHY WHY' part of the line is the only part that will be lip synced.

Are there so many stupid love songs 

Close up of her feet/legs whilst she is walking 

I will write the best one of all,

Long shot of girl with view of garden in background twirling around in a circle whilst singing with her head up and arms stretched out. 

And we will end this fight

Narrative of our chosen song

Tash and I have decided on our narrative that will help us in order to film our music video. We have decided on the following storyline: 

-A boy and a girl who are in a complicated love story

-In the video we portray the boy as the one chasing the girl

-The girl almost teases the boy and is made into a jokey situation as the song is upbeat.

-Girl is deep in her own thoughts and almost in her own world singing about the love of her life.

Lyrical analysis

I have analysed our chosen song's lyrics 'falling hard' by Adelee and Gentry. 

Chosen song for Coursework

After careful thought, Tash and I have finally chosen our song. It is called 'Falling hard' by Adelee and Gentry. We really took to the song straight away as it has a Taylor Swift type sound to the voices, which we were hoping to find. The Lyrics consist of a girl singing about how she heard a love story and how it basically reminded her of how much she has fallen for a particular person. Tash and i have some ideas up our sleeve on where and how we are going to perform this and i enjoy getting stuck in on actually producing a video behind the song.
