A Narrowed Idea

In the lesson after consideration and a group discussion, we have decided to produce a music video for our A2 coursework. This was based on after looking at the brief for the short film option, we decided that the task had too much of an open choice. Due to this it could equal to an over complex storyline, making the film hard to understand for the audience. In addition with the short film being so wide and the music video being a more narrowed choice then our work would be more concise, precise and effective.

For the music video we would have to find the piece of music first. This action would help us as in order to gather ideas for the music video we would have to understand the lyrics to the song by what the meaning is. Otherwise, if we create an idea before hand the video we create would be totally irrelevant. Therefore it would not be effective. Although we have decided that we would have to include shots of the band playing due to the purpose of music videos are a way of promoting the band and the song.

Another factor that our group had to consider was that the song would have to be original and not be copyrighted. this would mean that one task we would have to sort out would be finding a band that we could use. However, Ryan has a track that his old band has recorded which could be an option. However, the only problem would be that where the band is not together anymore, gaining footage of the band and photography for the ancillary tasks would be hard.
