Weather for shooting

We thought it would be essential to check the weather for filming since we are shooting initial footage on Friday. It's important to be aware of what type of weather we have to work with, in addition to rearranging a date if there are large amounts of continuous rain. This is due to how the weather may affect the mise-en-scene of the project.

On BBC Weather the Friday is shown to have clear skies with no sigs of rain. This is beneficial considering that we may have had to push scheduling back, which ultimately causes us to miss our deadlines.

Narrative to our music video

After reviewing the song 'I need your love' we ultimately made the decision to follow the theme of romance intertwined with various others including; death, heartache and happiness. The theme of death occurs in the present shown through the scenes involving the piano and graveyard scenes. By isolating the character, she is represented as vulnerable and lonely. Themes of happiness are reflected within the memories of the two characters. Their romance is also presented as their intimate moments of them both holding hands and spending time with each other.

2nd Storyboard

Inspiration from other music videos

For the two characters (boyfriend and girlfriend) within our music video, we decided to have a scene which involved a tent within the living room. We felt that this would make the atmosphere more romantic, making their love more apparent. However, this setting proved difficult after we researched online and saw other attempts to create replicated scenes, proving that it may not work out in our favor. After looking into music videos, we saw that 'Everything has Changed' by Taylor Swift ft. Ed Sheeran had the same idea, yet managed to make the scene romantic and sweet. This scene takes place from 1:42 until 1:47. We knew after watching the video that these pop stars would have professional and creative directors that would provide them with the best quality mise-en-scene available. Therefore, we take inspiration from this image in order to create a scene similar to this within our music video.

Whilst searching through a variety of music videos, we discovered 'True Love' by P!nk ft. Lily Allen. We liked the first 10 second footage of the music video, where the family is in the living room and the action is being sped up. We felt that this connoted what an ordinary life would be like, creating a sense of verisimilitude. We felt that we could take inspiration from this part of the video as we're trying to show how our couple are in a loving relationship which took place over a certain amount of time.

Within our music video we wanted a scene where a woman is playing a piano whilst singing, therefore we took inspiration from Alicia Keys who's notorious for playing the piano live. From this live video, we liked the spotlight and shots shown throughout the footage as they seclude her, marking her importance and therefore we have decided to include this type of style in our music video.
