Changing The Idea

In this meeting our group decided to change our group idea. As we changed the main narrative of the story as we felt on changing the focus as having a SWAT team would be irrelevant to the song. As our group were group were brain storming I thought it would be cool to focus on people hidden sides, as I picked up inspiration from Spielberg film Saving Private Ryan at the beginning when you see the same face but a change in location (dissolve). Then after this our group discussed possible activities people could do behind closed doors. Our group attempted to make them binary opposites i.e Business Man wanting to suicide…

There was going to be 3 elements towards the music video:

• Lip Sync 
• Performance 
• Peoples stories

Sam Smith - Stay With Me

For the Lip sync we took inspiration from Sam Smith. As we would like our protagonist to be singing walking down the street. Then the idea is the protagonist bumping into a person then it jumps to the victims activities during the night. Sam Smith does this in a couple of his music videos.

Beyoncé - Haunted

We got another piece of inspiration from Beyoncé Haunted. As in her music video she walks through a house looking into different rooms. In each room there is something weird and unusual going on inside the room

At the end of this we decided to focus on the possible activities that the characters would be doing that shocks the audience. This was very key as I  thought it was interesting how society judges someone by their clothing and emotions.

In class we looked at a scene for Magnolia as there is a montage of many peoples lives dealing with different problems in their own weird way.
