Initital Ideas...

When we had chosen the song we were going to do our music video to, we had to think of ideas that we wanted to do with our video. We noted down some of the initial ideas we had for our video:

• Have our video in an outside scence
• Have flash backs of the two girls together, have it as a memory
• When we have the memory we want to have the sunshine so it adds to the effect that it is a happy memory
• Want to include a book in the video, which is the story she is writing about herself and the girl she is in love with.
• Some memories to be done by handheld camera so that it looks like the girls has videoed them both together.

Having these ideas we wanted to then think about what types of shot we would like to include in our video, as the video is about a realtionship the shot types have to be personal and close so that the audience can get the vibe that they have a close relationship and so also they can relate to the video. Having these ideas we then discussed and wrote down the types of shots we would like to include.

Camerawork ideas:

• Close ups
• Mid shots
• Establishing shots
• Long Shots

Costume ideas:

Being an indie soul song, the costume has to relect the type of genre to reinforce the viewer with the visuals they are seeing. Myself nd libby thought that when filming sunny shots that floral and light colours would be best to use for the costume, this is due to the fact that it automaically makes the viewer think of summer. And generally when we think of summer, its a happy, laidback time.

In the video I used two of my female friends as the actresses; Nicola Sands and Libby Jeffery. The reason I used just to two actresses is because they were the main feature of the song, aas the song is about the love one girl has for the other. But also because it was easier to schedule filming shoots when all three of us were around.

Location/setting ideas:

From our first initial ideas, we wanted to shoot our filming in the outdoors as much as possible, in a sunny setting making it seem like its a memory.

Primary ideas for different locations were places such as:

• School fields
• Playing fields in Pembury
• Southborough common
• My house
• Libby's house
• Dunorlan Park
• Calverly Park
• A little remote coffee shop
