Progression & New Ideas

Having edited roughly 24 seconds worth, I felt that a lot of my filming consisted of similar shots of the actress walking. It became apparent that it would be beneficial to rethink my shot list and add a larger range of angles, distances and locations to enhance the audiences interest and the overall quality of the production.

These are a few of the shots I am considering including in my production:

• Actress setting on a bench - slightly angled front shot & behind shot
• MS/LS of the bench empty
• Actress sitting on a bridge - angled shot through trees
• HA of actresses feet through bridge
• MS/LS of empty bridge - various angles?
• ELS of actress walking down a long road, fade into an empty road
• Stream - CU of actress touching the water
• Dark lighting - actress opening gate, CU of hand, POV looking at door & opening, slamming door behind
• Actress walking down dark alley - fast pace editing: CU's of face, feet, hands, LS behind, LS in front - climax of the song
• Bedroom location - Actress sat at window seat, MS looking out 
• POV of actresses view out of window
• CU of piano

By combining conventions of both narrative and conceptual based videos I'm hoping I will be able to create and connote the tones in which the artist suggests through her lyrics.
Referring to my research post (What is a Music Video?) I want to use the lyrics and the moving image to create a high quality music video.

"The music video is composed by adding images to music."

"Lyrics and images interact creating meaning."
