Mood

As a group we have discussed the atmosphere and mood we are wanting to represent through our Indie pop music video. The song we are using has a very calm and slow soothing melody as it's about two lovers that have lost touch with the connection they used to have. We are wanting to have most of the video in black and white which will help us show the sad, melancholy image about the loss of a relationship towards the audience. The song's pace pick up's at times when the song is progressing this is where we are wanting to add colour scenes and splashes of colour (the red balloon), but also shots in colour when the female is having flashbacks of her past relationship.

 

We also decided as a group that by having the contrast of black and white shots with coloured shots will make each different scene stand out grab the audiences attention as it will be eye catching. The shots will be chance repeatively, which will again represnt the difference in the females feelings during her relationship.

 

 

The shots that we will be filming in colour are going to be shot in a home made effect which will make the music video seem more personal and believable allowing the audience to have an insight into the relationship and feel as if they are apart of it. One of the main factors we are having in the music video, is body language we want to portray this by the use of many complex camera shots. We are going to focus on the arms, and features of the face, but more importantly the movement of the hands. We are going to have shots of the couple smiling and laughing but focusing on their features instead of the whole body and face to represent the love and friendship the couple once had. We want to have a feel of vunerability in the music video, as we are representing the happy times in the relationship and how that can quickly chance to lonely and depressing. We will be showing this by the female walking along the beach alone taking in her surroundings. The flashbacks being in colour will suggst the warm happy feeling the female had during the relationship contrasted with the harshnes of the black and white. We are hoping to catch a few shots of the waves crashing againt some rocks, representing the pain and unhappyiness the female is now going through.
