Using the projector.

The lyrics say 'We fell in love / right by the ocean', this is past tense and we could show a representation of this by showing the clips of them being in love by the ocean and suggest that this memories are strong with him as the are projected behind him.


After our first day of filming and going through our footage, we have decided that we might need some more footage to cut into our film. On the train home we discussed ideas and decided that we should do some scenes on the black box with the projector.

An example of a music video which uses projections is Rihanna's music video for 'We Found Love'

I prefer this method to the green screen method as it looks more real and organic - it blends the artist more with the background to represent the idea of the artist being connected with the images behind them, this could represent memories or dreams. We thought we could tie this in with our music video - we had discussed the concept of our main character reminiscing about a past relationship.
Another music video which uses projections like this is Ariana Grande's song 'The Way'. Ariana is shown dancing and lip syncing in front of footage of her and her love, suggesting her thinking about memories with him. This is slightly different to our idea as the song is more happy and is more about her being infatuated with her boyfriend and thinking happy thoughts about him and their relationship.
This is quite late to be changing our concept, but we just want our video to be perfect and to be up to the standard of mainstream music videos at the moment. We all were unanimous in our decision and we will do screen tests as soon as we get back to school.
