Proposal
In this
coursework project I am going to create a music video for a local band Midnight
Carnival, the track I have chosen is “I Used to Have an Open Mind” a track the
band released early 2011. I have chosen to create a narrative based music video
on my interpretation of the lyrics. My music video will be shot mainly in and
around my local area of Whitstable. The main focus of my video will be the
narrative theme of a boy who has a psychological inability to get over his
latest ex and is willing to constantly wait forever for her. The proposed video
should document the establishment of an emotional breakdown throughout the
video. The theme of waiting will be present in my video so I am going to film in
several different locations where people would normally wait. I will need quite
a significant amount and variety of shots in each location to keep the
audiences attention and to keep up with the pace of the track. I have chosen to
include 2 hand held shots from the main characters point of view the reason I have
chosen to do this because it helps signify emotional instability. I am using
two actors one male and one female to help keep the narrative running. The
female will be featured in a flash backs to when the relationship ended and in
the main male characters imagination. The use of flash backs is one of the
conventions in several narrative based music videos.
Inspirations for this music video include Simple Plan-Your Love Is a Lie, Taylor Swift-Whitehorse and AFI-Silver and cold(examples of videos with narratives and linking themes). The performance elements are inspired by Saving Aimee-Small TalIk. I am planning to shoot my proposed music video between the 20-28th October 2011.
