IDEA 3Song: Soulero – There I wasGenre: Electronic

DEVELOPMENT OF IDEAS

Chosen Idea: 3

This song is electronic and starts off with a slow pace and gradually picks up during the fi rst minute. The song lasts 3 minutes and 38 seconds (3:38) and uses very few lyrics which are used at the start to build up the pace of the music video and are shown here;

You'll never fl y, if you're too scared of the heightsYou'll never live if you're just too scared to dieEverybody wants heaven... I knowBut darling freedom ain't free, it's a long roadYou'll never fi nd your place up there in the sky..If you never say goodbye.

HARDWELL & DYRO – NEVER SAY GOODBYE

This music v ideo lasts 3 minutes 12 seconds (3:12) and fi ts in with the genre of Drum & Bass, a lot of the l ight ing in this music v ideo is br ight and refl ects the lyr ics.

Because Drum & Bass is a fast paced genre of music I wi l l use a lot of c lose up shots and fast tracking shots to make i t fi t in and match the pace of the song .

You should know, now you know what you got me So serious, you don't need I hit the ground running Slow up, you don't make for this heat

Arma me, you just l ike me roll with it as it comes Unravel the mystery, so plain to me 'cause nothing ever skips my beat l ike it does I 'm done with this history be Just skip to my beat Let's sit and then I hear your heartbeat

ANDY C & FIORA – HEARTBEAT LOUD

SOULERO – THERE I WAS

Soulero – There I Was is a electronic song/music video and is 4 minutes long, Soulero is an EDM producer from Sweden and has being creating his music since 2009.

This track fi ts my music video conventions perfectly as it is about a boy and girl that are constantly looking for each other and links in with the song title.

Pre-production consists of:Location ScoutingProp and wardrobe identification and preparationSpecial eff ects identification and preparationProduction scheduleSet constructionScript-locking (semi-finalisation of the script)Script read-through with cast, director and other

PRE-PRODUCTION

BRAINSTORM AND DETAILS FOR IDEA 1

Fast paced

Range of camera angles and shots

Editing done with Sony Vegas

Permissions to film

Developed Ideas and

Details of Music Video

One Actor

Lighting across each shot

Mise-en-scene each shot objects in background

Referencing shots to the lyrics

Two diff erent narratives. All of the music video will be shot when the sun is out to

create a positive mood throughout. A girl and a boy to create the storyline. Shots of both passing each other eventually building up to

the end where they meet. Parallel editing and B roll shots. Lots of close ups on both faces to show the connection

between the boy and girl.

LAYOUT AND CAMERA

Actors will be wearing casual clothes as such to fi t in with the theme and mood of the music video.

COSTUME AND LOCATION

• Casual clothing• Jeans• Coats• handbag for female

Most of this music video will be filmed in a country side after a male and female both took the same train and are now lost looking for each other.

Health and safety will be important in these areas where I'm fi lming because the countryside has a lot of risks which could severely injure someone or harm someone because of the amount of nature e.g. trees and other environmental issues.

Locations will be chosen based on:1. Safety to people involved in the project2. Setting3. Lighting4. Room to fi lm and take a range of camera angles5. Clearances6. Genre conventions7. Mise en scene

HEALTH AND SAFETY

MAP OF LOCATION

• The area where I will be doing all the filming will be located here on this map which is located in Upper Basildon and suits the theme of the music video very well. Most of this will be

filmed down Tenaplas drive and filmed in the forest opposite it to match with the countryside theme of the music video.

Finance needed will mainly be for costume + props as fi lming in a countryside wont and should not cost anything unlike fi lming in big cities like London.

We have a reasonably large budget so if there is anything we need we can get it without hassle, we have a lot of resources and shouldn’t need anymore for the music video.

For this project we already have an idea of:1. A prepared budget2. Booked resources3. Prepared schedules4. Health and Safety risks indicated5. Risks to the project

FINANCE AND PREPARATION

To edit and compose my music video together I will use Sony Vegas as I am experienced with it and I know all its functions and capabilities to set my music video to the highest standards possible.
