Planning for Preliminary Task

For our preliminary task we are going to use the song 'Keep Your Head Up' by Ben Howard. The song is very chilled out and relaxing which matches the theme of nature we will be portraying throughout the music video.

We can up with some ideas that we are going to include in the pliminary task, the whole music video is going to be very natural so it will be set outside keeping the theme norm in the genre we are doing. Most of the video will be shot in or around a wheat field, we are thinking about changing the colour of the wheat to give the music video a unique little twist we are thinking about making the colour of it a pastely light pink. The sing is very playful so we are going to make the actors be very playful and joyful. To keep with the theme the actors are going to be wearing festival clothing, which will be very floaty (natural) and vintage so by having sunglasses and pretty patternes. We are also thinking about using close up's on feet during the music video, as we are going to have a few shots of the actors playing hop scotch, this will really catch the movements of the actors as hop scotch is a childish game it highlights the innocence of the actors which we are going to try and portray throughout the music video. We are going to use lots of long shots and dolly shots to catch some running sequences and certain motions of props we will be using such as a hullahoop which will highlight the playful and excitement. We are also thinking about having some of the music video in slow motion to create a different effect, also we are planning on shooting one of the actors jumping off a step but then in the editing process to reverse the jump off the step once the jump has already happened to the go on to continue to carry on walking during the music video sequence.
