When trying to generate ideas for my music video I did come up with at least three different ones - however, while writing these I did feel like I knew which idea I wanted to do anyway. The first thing I did was make a quick plan of the ideas that I was able to think of and then I would carry on from there, the plan I have created is really brief and only I may be able to understand it - however, it is a starting point for my ideas and I will soon know more about them when I think about them in more detail. Underneath you will be able to see the plan I created, but I am going to go into more detail about these ideas and explain what type of things I can imagine happening and also where I have got the inspiration for these ideas from. Also, I have included a title before each idea as this in a way represents the narrative of the story, because it will be the main part of the music video.
Here is the brief plan I have created:
Once I knew briefly what different ideas I had, I then began to think more about them and what type of things could occur in the music video if I used any of these ideas. I have created a presentation to demonstrate my different ideas in as much detail as possible at this moment in time as I have not planned them out in a large amount of detail because I will only be doing one of them and do not want to plan for something I will not be creating. Here is my presentation:
Here is another presentation I have created, but in this one I have stated which idea I am going to use for my final music video; I have also said why I have chosen this idea, why the other ones were not as good and didn't stand out as much for me. Here is my presentation:
Influences
When generating ideas for this music video, I knew that some of my ideas are probably not my own and I have probably seen something similar like it somewhere and just not remembered what it was. So I have just made a general list of influences that I can think of to present where I have got some inspiration from for my first idea because that is the idea I have decided to use.
One of the first things I noticed which is similar to my idea is the music video for Taylor Swifts 'Out Of The Woods'. This has a similar style to what I would like my music video to be like and to be represented because the majority of it is filmed in the woods and the Taylor Swift can be seen running away. The part of the video that is similar to my idea is when Taylor Swift is seen being tangled up in the branches of the trees which is one of the concepts that I would like to happen in my idea - in my music video I would like this to represent that the boyfriend is the woods and that he is not letting the actor go and is trapping her where he won't let her escape from the relationship, or the actor could be too afraid to end the relationship because she knows she may regret it and cannot leave the woods which represent the boyfriend. I feel like both my idea for my music video, and Taylor Swift's music video are quite similar as they both are about relationships that have failed because they no longer are the name to each other anymore. On top of that, I also said that the way the trees would wrap around the actor personifies the woods as if it is the boyfriend and I feel that I may have been inspired by this because of a film called 'Bridge To Terabithia' - this is because in this film you are able to see the woods come to life and it is sort of like a new world with different creatures and I feel like this represents my idea for my music video because it shows that the singer has been trapped in a new world and knows nothing about it, so she doesn't know how to escape, like she doesn't know how to escape her relationship. My idea for the reflection in the water came from the film 'High School Musical 2' in this film you can see the main male actor looking at his reflection in the water when he contemplating his life and the things he has done in the past which could relate to my idea in the way that the singer doesn't know what to do because of her failed relationship and is looking at her reflection as if she is thinking about what to do because of what the relationship has done to her. When thinking about location ideas I thought of the music video for 'Decode' by 'Paramore' as this music video is located in the woods where it is quite dark, which will set the scene for the music video.
Here are the music video's for both Taylor Swift's 'Out Of The Woods' and Paramore's 'Decode' to help you understand what type of theme I would like my music video to be like and also what I mean when I say I may have my actor tangled in branches from the trees;
