Title Ideas

I would like to add a title to the beginning of my video, it will be in bright red which relates to my chosen genre.

Here are some examples of videos that have titles:
Bastille- "Bad Blood"
By the title being in bright red it connotes to the title of blood reinforcing the songs name.


Lady Gaga- "Telephone"
Even though Lady Gaga does not relate to the genre of mine but the use of the title at the beginning is very effective and really shows how the song is presented like a film.


Peace- "Lovesick"
Peace uses a white title which stands out, I think I will use white as my video is going to be grungy and dark therefore, I believe that this will also be as effective as mine.

Animatic


This is a animatic that I have done for my music video in order to make editing easier.

Casting


My actress is Yasmin Broughton. I chose Yasmin as I feel she can do an excellent job as she has natural acting talents. She will bring in a male audience as she is sexually appealing and therefore, will make my campaign more popular. I also think Yasmin has the right look for post-punk revival as she has very long grungy hair.

Detailed Final Idea


The chosen idea
My video takes place in a wasteland and forest area and will consist of a girl going through different emotions and feeling all shown through abstract ideas and weird editing.
The focal point to the idea is the feeling of insanity which will be shown through extreme close ups of the eyes and lips and also by speeded up footage.
My character will wear dark clothing and dark eye makeup and continue the feeling of chaos with wildly styled hair.
The video explores an inner working of a girl going through a divorce who wants to break free and have a good time which is why at the end there will be a shot of her sharply opening her eyes almost bringing the girl back into reality. The video will explore the ideas by using images of my actress spinning, jumping and laughing hysterically. The audience will understand that it is dreamlike through the use of a kaleidoscope effect which will represent the mind.


Some inspiration came from this clip from the TV show Gossip Girl.





Risk Assessment

Before I start filming I must be sure the risk of an accident happening during shooting are minimal therefore I will follow through with actions that will minimise this.
