The three different options for shots that we have are:
- The 'love scene' shots from Brighton
- The projection shots of Jem
- The rooftop scenes
We all agreed that we wanted to start with the scenes from Brighton, to set the mood of the video, as we thought that this footage was most illustrative of the lyrics of the song (tying in with Andrew Goodwin's theory).
We wanted to incorporate the projection shots throughout - this was in order to break up the music video to make it more interesting and eye catching for the duration of the video. Furthermore, we didn't want the shot to get too 'same samey' as we fear that could be boring. This also stems from inspiration from other music videos, as many videos cut between a storyline and a performance from the artist.
Finally there is the rooftop shots, we wanted to incorporate these about halfway through the video to keep our viewers interested and to change up the vibe of the video so its not just a cheesy typical love story.
Now that we have a plan for the outline of the video, we can put the shots together. Obviously we intend to stick to this plan, however we also want to see what looks right so this plan may change slightly in the process of editing.
At the end of this editing session - we have the beginning of the video together with the shots from Brighton. I am extremely happy with how it is looking and it is less cheesy than I imagined which is good - I think this is partially due to some of the more 'artistic' shots that we took using the coloured lights in the arcade, also the projection shots tie it all nicely together. In our next session, we will begin editing the shots of the rooftop that kick in after the first chorus - we made the decision to put the shots in here as we feel it will fit in with the change of tone in the song.
This session was highly successful and enjoyable and I am looking forward until the next one!
