Equipment information

Due to our budget being lower than record companies who usually film music videos, we had minimal equipment on hand whilst filming. The equipment that we did used consisted of;

IPhone 6S

Apple Mac

Cannon Camera

Locations

Locations

Broomfield angle park

 

 

Newlands spring farmers field



Chelmer Valley High School



Chelmsford train station

These were the location we decided to use to record our music video. This was due to the fact we felt these locations fitted around the genre of the music and the narrative within the lyrics.

Costume Ideas

Our genre is indie, this therefore means that we need to look at what artists in the indie genre wear and adapt this to our actor in our music video. It is important that we think very hard about what our 'singer' is wearing because they are the making of the video and if they do not look the part then they are going to let the music video down as they aren't going to portray the way indie genre is meant to be. They need to be dressed in 'hipster' attire.

Auditions Information

Audition Information

When it came to hosting auditions for our parts we drafted a list of things we wanted the person in our music video had in order to create the ideal person and we did this for each of the roles. When audtioning we auditioned 3 different peole for each role within the music video and then chose based on who we thought would fit the role best. This was a difficult decision as all of the cadidates were good and it was down to us to decide who would look the part.

Lip syncing practice w/chosen video

We are doing a lip sync practice as we feel that we need to learn techniques in how to make the lip syncing seem as authentic and real as possible.

We chose to lip sync over "cold water" as we feel that it is a very nice song to sync over as the lyrics are very clear so we could get our artist to easily learn the words and easily lip sync over them.

This will help us when it comes to making our music video as it will help us learn how to effectivly lip sync therefore making the music video look better and more proffesional.

Rough plan for music video

No Regrets – Suspects

Brief round up - Max and the girl had a relationship, they were lovers. She lost her job, tried to contact him and couldn't get hold of him, she was very upset and then started cheating on him with a  number of other guys. She is screwed up. Bit like Plan B video but the female is the antagonist not the male! The girl is not seen throughout the whole music video until she is revealed at the end.  She would need to wear the same colours throughout and have the same hair throughout in order for people to recognise it is the same girl. The video starts and ends at the same place

MODERN DAY - Max and girl no longer together

Intro - Split shots between musical instruments, sunset (sped up - like in Tom P's video from last year) and shots of Max in recording studio getting ready to sing

You’re walking through the city late at night, Hand held camera with watch to the time, cut to walking down the lit up street cuts to street lights, cut to light up cigarette cut to walking again (all cuts on the beat)

Smoking cigarettes, drinking cheap wine and  "Smoking cigarettes" - max singing the line in the recording studio then cut to Camera is the girl - stamp cigarette out as if have been smoking and then camera moves down to a bottle of wine in her other hand

You’re lonely, you’re lonely,  Camera pans right to an empty street, camera pans left to an empty street and then continues walking forward on an empty street

Your face brightens up as you see me, you  Cut to Max singing 

Were shocked to see me I could see clearly, I Different time - at dusk? Camera on street stops walking and looks at Max walking towards it

Avoided you I didn’t I didn’t want you near me. Cut to Max singing cut to Max walking past the camera avoiding eye contact cut to camera following Max walking away

Bridge

It’s fine you weren’t special anyway, Cut to Max's face walking away after he has left her smiling then cut to Max singing in recording studio

PAST - When the Girl and Max were together

You’d pick and choose a different boy every day, Camera is girls perspective again cut to text being sent saying I love you, camera tilts to look at other guys in a room - close ups of them - maybe a party? Cut to scanning through photos of boys on her mobile phone

There was enough for you that’s fair to say. Cut to camera being kissed by a different guy and her deleting the I love you text 

Chorus

MODERN DAY - Max and the girl no longer together

So make your plans and I’ll make mine, I want Max singing to camera as if he is still walking away from her, camera looks back at her stood looking at Max - she should be out of focus so you can't see her properly

To enjoy this short amount of time, I have no Cut to various different Musical instrument shots? Drums and Guitar and Max performing to camera in studio

Regrets, no regrets. Max performing in studio - different angles and musical instruments

And don’t think I’m making a mistake, I stick to Max on the street walking away from her still performing to camera, see her in the background miming and shouting but she is still out of focus

Choices that I make I have no regrets, Max gets phone out of pocket and types message, cut to the screen of the phone and it says no regrets

no regrets Cut to Max in the recording studio

Verse 2
PAST - When the girl and Max were together

You lost your job, you lost your motivation, Camera as eyes of girl again looking at another person in a suit behind a desk explaining they have lost their job and handing them an envelope

You started waiting for a train at the station, cut to camera looking at watch,  camera phoning Max, hands showing frustration that he doesn't answer, camera opening the envelope and seeing P45 at the top of the letter in the envelope 

Didn’t care which stop or which destination,  cut to ripping up envelope and P45 and chucking the ripped up pieces in the air

You just needed to lose all the frustration. Walking into the train station and going through the barriers at the train station

You’re walking on the platform in your broken Camera walking down platform as girl, with van shoes. Lifts shoe up and it has a hole in it

Vans, until you get by approached by another man comes towards camera and talks to girl

Man, he walks away but you take his hand we he then walks away from the camera cut to camera following the man walking away and hand goes out from the camera to stop him

Both know you have dirty plans. Cut to close up on his face, with him doing the head nudge to indicate going back to his - he knows he is in luck! Fades to black to imply the deed is going to be done! 

It will be you that mis-treats him Cut to camera getting out of bed and picking up clothes/shoes from floor 

He has to lose it all and you get to win Cut to taking money out of his wallet in the bedroom while he sleeps

You're gonna miss the feeling of his skin Camera walks out of the bedroom and then pans back to the guy in the bed

I bet you can't wait till you begin Camera going downstairs, Opening house door and then fade to black 

MODERN DAY - Max and the girl are recently split

And don’t think I’m making a mistake, I stick to Max walking away from the bar and she runs out of the bar after him, again out of focus

Choices that I make I have no regrets, Max gets phone out of pocket  presses send message, cut to the screen of the phone and it says no regrets

no regrets Cut to Max in the recording studio

PAST - When Max and the girl had just split up

Verse 3 

You confused me and messed with my head,  Max sat on his own in the park on a bench looking upset and lonely, camera pans round him in a circle

You weren’t right for me that’s why they said, Max gets a ring box out of his pocket and opens it to reveal and engagement ring

You couldn’t be honest and you had me mislead, Max singing to himself - he is gutted

Now you are my only regret. Max throws the ring box and walks away from the park bench leaving the ring box on the floor

You confused me and messed with my head, Max getting home and Max looking at photo of the girl on his phone  singing to the photo

You weren’t right for me that’s why they said, He gets angry and chucks stuff around in a  house

You couldn’t be honest and you had me mislead, Max looking devastated

Now you are my only regret. Max singing to camera looking sad

MODERN - Max and the girl are split up

Its fine you weren’t special anyway, you’d Cut to Max singing in recording booth

Pick and choose a different boy every day, Camera as girl scanning through guys on the phone and then gets to Max

And don’t think I’m making a mistake, I stick Max walking down the street singing to the camera

To the choices that I’ve made, I have no Performance shots

Regrets, no regrets. Max telling the camera and sending the text again

So make your plans and I’ll make mine I want Camera as girl, receiving the no regrets text and she leaves the house

To enjoy this short amount of time, I have no, Camera as the girl pouring wine into glass and downing it 

Regrets, no regrets Camera as girl putting coat on stepping outside and starts to walk down road

And don’t think I’m making a mistake, I stick Max walking down the street singing to the camera

To the choices that I’ve made, I have no Performance shots

Regrets, no regrets. Performance shots

MODERN - SHOWING DOWNFALL OF THE GIRL

You’re walking through the city late at night, Camera follows the girl up the street with cigarette and alcohol in hand

Smoking cigarettes, drinking cheap wine and camera pans round girl like it did with Max before not really seeing her face

You’re lonely, you’re lonely, Her reveal - She looks at the camera with sadness then the camera backs out and leaves her on her own in the street

Music videos that have inspired us

Music videos that have inspired us

Duke Dumont - "I Got U"

This music video inspired us to use the third person approach to our music video. This concept that they have used is really effect as it shows everything from someone elses point of view instead of just having a person on camera lip syncing and acting accordingly. This is something that we would really like to incorporate this in our music video. The third person effect for the music video is instigated through the Virtual Reality Headset and this is how the narrative of the music video begins.

Plot and Narrative

Plot and Narrative

The plot and narrative for our music video is that a guy (the person singing the song) has had a break up with the girl he loved. He was heartbroken and she realised that what she had done was wrong. The heartbroken guy then feels  very depressed and lonely and finds himself in a park thinking about life, he had planned to marry the girl and had bought her a ring as a token of his love. He never gives her the ring and she never knew he had bought her one. The girl basically started meeting up with other boys and ended up cheating on the guy, she then realised that what she had done was wrong and missed him and was going to try to get him back. The music video has it from two peoples points of view, the girl and the boy. The girl ends up losing her job and ever since her relationship ends things end up going badly for her (Smoking and Alcohol). The music video is from the girls point of view and is filmed in 3rd person and the girl is only revealed at the end of the music video. The guy is seen on camera throughout. We also cut to performance shots of the artist singing the song in the studio in order to get a nice range of footage.
