Ongoing music selection:

Music i have found an interest in, in terms of genre for this project are,

• Dance


• comedy pop


• 'Easy listening'

I really like the idea of a narrative accompanying the lyrics, taking the audience on a journey, rather than just having the singer/band performing in front of the camera lip-syncing. From looking at previous latymer music videos, in my opinion the ones with the most lip-syncing are in genenral te least successful. Also i want my video ot be more sophisticated and therefore am going to need to do location reccies, as shooting in schol areas can be rather tacky and look really amatuer. Finally i feel that there should be actors/actresses with some drama or acting experience in the music videos, as this elevates production standards. An example of a past music video that i find least successful for these reasions is...

Boy Crazy- High School rejects.








First thoughts for my music video i would like...

• Out of school location (more than one would be more challenging)
• performance and narrative based
• not too many actors/actresses due to past experiences with a lack of reliability
• possibly an abstract idea where there no continuity through narrative just a seemingly random compliation of shots which eventually have a meaning or are linked to the meaning portrayed in the song.
• to have unusual creative shots rather than just dull standard shots. e.g. when performing.
• a song which changes in mood at some stage during the song as this would enhance a key change in the video narrative.
• to be continued...
