locations/sets

These choices of locations are based on the narrative of my song. Some of my music video will also be a time-lapse of the sky. I will try to show an urban feel to the majority of the video as the narrative is of that genre. The field will be mainly used at the start of the video as my planned narrative starts out like that. It will then move into a house setting for another section of the video. The alley way will be used for short sections of the film cutting back from the narrative, however i shall mainly use the field for the majority of the video. These locations will be important to the narrative of the video.

Prop ideas

I shall plan to use these prop items in my music video. These props will be used at various points within my video. I chose these props based upon the lyrics and narrative of my video. As the most noticeable words in this song is "stay high" i chose these props as based on that and how my narrative plans out. Even though i will not make my artist actually smoke and take drugs i shall still try feature them in my video as they run with the narrative and lyrics.

The props I have chosen to use will have great effect on the video. The cigarettes reflect how bad her life is going at the moment as she is resorting to damaging herself by smoking. I will try emphasise this in the video by adding a slow motion effect onto it to highlight how troubled her mind is. As well as this, I am going to get a few shots of her drinking to emphasise her troubled thoughts. Drinking is also another severe result of a break up with a boyfriend which my artist has gone through in the narrative of the song.

Chosen camera

My chosen camera to complete my filming is a GoPro hero 3+. This camera is very good and very easy to use. It has a very wide frame size and is easy to change the angles as the camera is so small. Another reason why i used it is because i have many mounts that the camera can go onto this means that i can vary the shots i use. I have a chest mount which attaches a camera to the chest of my artist. It allows me to film a constant close up of my artist which gave me more variety into my filming. However one bad thing about using this camera is that its hard to see what you are filming as there is no screen to show what you're filming. However i have managed to get around this. I have downloaded an app on my smart phone that links to my GoPro which allows me to see what i am filming.

Artist development

Costume

I have drafted 3 different costumes for my main artist (Viccy). These designs were based on what the song is about and the background behind the song. I have also looked at the original video and looked at the themes and conventions of the mise-en-scene of that video and based my draft ideas off of that. These costumes represent a bad image of girls as the costumes are very revealing and provocative. Costume 3 is the most sexual and erotic as it is the most revealing and fits well with my video genre and song story line. However costumes 1 and 2 offer a different view as a typical girl would wear this outfit. I believe all costumes would suit this video as pop/electropop, as this type of genre features this lifestyle and costume background in most of their videos. 

Digipak inspirations

I have been researching around at some online digipaks and have been inspired by these ones i have found. The bottom one is aesthetically pleasing and my favourite cover out of them all. I will try mix all of these into my final digipak. I have also been inspired by the top two as they look like a similar genre to the song i am doing (Tove-lo, Habits). I will also keep looking around to see if i can get any more ideas for my digipak designs as i want to make mine as good as possible.
