New Ideas and Reflection On My Work So Far

From looking at my draft I did at Christmas time I am wanting to change a few things about my music video. This is because I think I can improve on certain things but I am finding time a difficulty. It is very hard to get my two actors for my video together at the same time, as we all have college and jobs.

First of all I'd like to change the concept of the continuity. My video right now is set in one day but then have flash backs of previous memories in it. Where as Id like to change it and make it in un-chronological order.( no order of time), just different memories and events that the couple did together. This way I think its more effective and engaging to represent the various happy memories they have had and gives a more reflective outlook on their happy relationship. It creates realism to because it shows their bond with each other and reflecting lots of happy memories reflects the necessity they have over each other, as it reflects they spend a lot of time together.

So I am going to do this by writing out various idea I would like to film and various shots of landscapes I could fit in their also.

Beginning:
I would like to involve the setting and scenery of the area. This will also link well with relating to my genre because Hull has some landscapes with graffiti on the wall for example, and this relates to the genre of music I have chosen. Shots of run down areas as it not only relates and is a convention of my genre but gives a sense of what type of place it is set in and what life style they live.

Other Ideas

I would like to film more meaningful things that reflect a deeper meaning, by linking the lyrics in with what I type of shot I make or angle ect. For example the lyrics 'Home is where the heart is, and I gave to you in a paper bag, even though its tarnished' is reflecting that her heart has been broken before and it is delicate, but she trusts him with it. I would like the emphasis this more because it a powerful line and is emphasizing the trust they have and how much they are in love. 

A major change I am making though is the continuity of my music video. I think it would be mush better if I reflected a lot of video clips of them together doing different things. It then gives the audiences a good reflection that thy have been together a very long time and how much they are in love. 

I am still going too keep some ideas I initially had, like the part where she looks into the book and it goes into a memory ( type of flashback) when she looks at the various images.
