Week 2: Group Placement & Initial Development

Introducing JED - (Jonty, Ed & David) - my group and I are going to produce a Pop Music Video for our A2 Media Studies Coursework.


List of Music Video Ideas From Group Members...
3 Favourite Ideas - 1, 4 & 8
- But we have decided to combine different elements of each concept to create two or three main final concepts that we can then pitch to Luke (Professor Media).

Concept 1: A girl and a boy dancing in split screens to an electro-acoustic track ("Coming Over" - Kygo / Dillon Francis)
Location: tbc

Issues:
- Dancers are in high demand
- Which apartments are we going to use
- How are the dancers going to interact
- Needs other elements to fill in gaps to reach 3 minutes

Concept 2: Using foam machines, we create multiple shots and scenes using foam (with added colour) featuring a female singer (Cassie Jackson) for the song "Intoxication" or "White Tiger".

Scenes:
Cassie in bath tub full of coloured foam, engulfed up to her neck, in middle of blank white room. (wide, mid, close ups)
Close ups of foam against skin, straight face, lipstick, foam moving, overflowing out of bath on to floor, coloured spots (using food colouring)
Cassie standing in middle of white room in colourful outfit. 2 foam canons either side of her shooting foam over her. Reverse and slow motion shot on drop.
Cassie dancing / keyboard player (Jonty) / drummer (Callum) in middle of room playing while foam is shot over their heads / onto them / drummer hits coloured foam off the drums.
Tap runs very slowly (alt-J Breezeblocks) - slow motion of droplets falling / ink droplets.

These 2 videos show the use of a bath and water very effectively. The use of slow motion in "Stay" could also successfully be used in our video. On the other hand, "Fineshrine" includes plenty more elements in the video. For example the lip-sync performance and the photos on bed scene. This tells me that we need more scenes related to the bath and foam/bubbles.
