Changed Idea
So, recently I decided to change my idea for my music video. Originally it was going to be my story of 'The Guardians Tale' with scenes from that as the music video. Focusing on the characters Ralphy and Maya, as it's a love song. But because time was running out and I thought there's an awful lot to film in the three remaining weeks. Ed also agreed with this, and that's just to focus on the singing. So now I'm just filming the singing in four different locations in Frome. Its a shame really, as that was my main idea to continue with the 'Guardians Tale'. But I like the new changed idea. The one thing I'm really looking forward to is that I'm going to film the whole music video in a higher frame rate (fps). And it will appear 'slow motion' looking. This will make the music video look so much more dramatic, and as its a love song you want things slowed down to show time reducing speed. But by doing this the singer will have to sing twice and fast when filming the visuals. Then once recorded I will slow the footage down so the music will match the visuals in sync with her lips.
Update - Thursday 10th May
I have changed the idea again due to Ally being booked up with her work. So she wasn't able to film. I had to think fast and come up with a new idea for a music video. Changing the idea this late in the month is very risky. But I managed it ok. In the end I went out and filmed me acting as the main character in the film. The idea is now a young a man who has lost a loved one goes to all different locations that he spent with his loved one, bringing back memories. At the end he leaves the book behind and berries it. So he can move on with his life. I felt as well, thinking of my first idea, that I could've been the angle from the heavens, which meant I could've been Ralphy remembering Maya.
Since this was very last minute, I think my music video is successful. It gets across the story and is filmed nicely and matches the harmony of the song. Which is basically a love and loss piece of music.
