Yeah, just happy.

A boy and a girl as main characters and extras partying.

What kind of location would you expect to see?

Either a beach or a field.

A festival in a field, yeah, so like they're partying.

Conclusion:

From this, we felt that we got little information concerning our music video. We provided them with the wrong version of the song, affecting the information they gave us. However, we did feel that we gathered information from the third question as they were all very certain to have a closed narrative. Also, they were certain on us having a male and a female as the lead characters, which we will use in our final music video.

Drafting/Sketching of Scenes

The picture above shows sketches of our initial ideas in regards to the music video we will be creating. We feel this was beneficial idea because it gives us a chance to display our creativity and helps us follow the narrative of our plot-line.

Moodboard for final video

As a group we have decided to complete a mood-board to track our initial thoughts in regards to the music video. Within this mood-board there are themes of 'love', 'death', 'music' and 'seclusion', which are vital ideas that we want to keep in mind when filming the video. 

By creating the mood-board we have a reliable source that we can refer back to whenever necessary. All of these ideas have been inferred by our song choice, the analysis of the video and also the lyrics.
