From watching past media students videos we liked the idea of a very specific music video which was one that was created for "Mac Miller - Frick park market". We liked the way in which this was edited and the way that the types of footage that was generated wouldn't be too hard to find. After discussing we realised that we would be restricting our self a bit and may try to base it too much on this previous student. This along with other things meant that we could not do a music video like this.
Our next idea was to do a slower song with a bit more of a narrative so that we can then base the footage on that story. We decided that all of the slower types of music videos we could relate to more as the footage relates to the visuals. After looking at various artists such as James Bay and Ed Sheeran we decided on James Blunt to be our artist.
After we had chosen the song "Goodbye my lover" we wanted to make the storyline about a man saying goodbye to his woman. We then had the idea that the man will be almost talking after he died to the woman. We wanted to portray this with a few fade shots of him with the woman when he's alive and then when he's gone. We will then have the artist as a different character and then the male and female characters.
It is important to gather initial ideas before making a professional music video of a high standard. Our main target is to create a clear narrative which hooks the target audience therefore promoting the song. This will also help the promotion of the artist which is one of the main purposes of a music video.
