Music Video Change

Due to unforeseen circumstances I have had to change the location of my song. There was a problem with the bowling alley and therefore I have not been able to shoot my music video there. As I feel that the song I chose suited the original location extremely well. Due to the change of location I now have to choose a new song and new location to shoot my music video.

The new song I will create a music video for is 'The 1975 - Head.Cars.Bending'. I chose this song as it doesn't already have a music video and therefore I instantly found it easier to generate ideas for creating a video for the song.

The Idea

I have decided to shoot a music video for the song 'Head.Cars.Bending' by 'The 1975'. The video will not necessarily contain a narrative but will almost be a montage. I intend to base the majority of my video in a car which is driving throughout a city with lengthy close ups of an individual miming the lyrics. Accompanying these shots of someone miming the lyrics, there will be shots of the city, car, etc to keep the viewer engaged to the video.

I will definitely be linking Goodwin's theory to my music video as the individual who will be miming the lyrics is styled to look like Matty Healy, the lead singer of 'The 1975'. Shots of this individual will create Star Iconography due to his style however I also intend to use multiple close ups which will also generate ideas on artistic branding and artistic portrayal.

Effects & Editing

I may edit my video so that it is Black & White, however this is not definite as I will see how effective it is with my footage. I am also planning to slow down the city shots, a regular convention I discovered when researching music videos, although I feel I will only be able to apply this to certain shots. In regards to Goodwin's research I will be editing the visuals of my music video in time to the music of the song.

Equipment

I intend to shoot at night so I will be using an LED light source position away from the camera to help the light in my shots as although I want the frames to be dark, I do not want to shoot in a high ISO and lower the quality of my shots.
I will be using a Canon 600D to shoot the majority of my footage and may also use a GoPro to capture certain experimental angles in the car and around the City.

Location

The majority of the video will be shot in a car showing a group of friends, however I intend to shoot certain shots around Coventry and Birmingham to capture shots of a city night life to break ups shots of the individual in the passenger seat miming the lyrics of the song.
