Discussion

Last night me and Izzy met up to discuss the new direction of our music video. A lot of new ideas came into light and we now have a much clearer, better picture of where we want to go.
Things we are keeping the same:

• Band Members (although we will be making sure they are much more enthusiastic and retaking shots until they look like they are- however the new storyboard should be more enjoyable for them to take part in anyway so hopefully it will come more naturally regardless).
• Styling- only to an extent as the new storyboard requires lots of outfit changes however as a whole the original styling posts still remains relevant to the general 'look' we want to achieve.

Things we are changing:

• Stop/Start- rather than the original idea of stop/start we will instead be using lots of cuts when editing to make the band members move/appear (depending on shot) rather than just images it will be proper film. This is completely different but should be more achievable and overall should look much more effective.
• Narrative- although our new storyboard/shot list is shot in a variety of locations we have scrapped the 'story' running throughout the video and just having it as following the band around, not so much a story as it is very disjunctive but it will give context and background to the band.
• Type of video- rather than a mixture of amplification and illustration our video will be primarily disjunctive with the only relevance to the song being through editing matching the tempo of the song and the band members obviously being from the band.
• Locations- we now have a much wider variety of locations so our video will be a lot faster paced and will be much more interesting than just a beige background; it will match the feel and genre of the band much more effectively as well.
• Time of day- our video will be a mix up of day and night shots again to make a more interesting video and to match the tempo and pace of the song

and finally... after much thought and consideration me and Izzy have decided to change the song as it is from within the same genre, was one we originally considered and it will be a much better match to the type of video we now wish to create as Plage is too slow paced. The new song we wish to proceed is 'Wreckin' Bar' by The Vaccines.
