This is our group discussion with our teacher, it goes into detail on how and where the shoots will take place and how we will lay out the narrative and performance within the video

 

Feedback summary:

• Find a narrative that works with the performance.
• Settle on locations and times to shoot.
• good ideas and will work well for a music video
• try not to over complicate the narrative

Tasks:

• plan the narrative
• make a visual shot list
• 20-second music video draft edited and uploaded to YouTube
• make group agreement signed and dated

Pros:

• The narrative is already fully worked out and arranged.
• we have many locations in which we can use to film
• the extras needed are already sorted out allowing us to do scenes in places where a crowd is needed
• good prop ideas
• narrative links with the music itself
• we already have an actor sorted to play the role which knows the lyrics

Cons:

• complicated narrative
• will be hard to link the use of the polaroid into a metaphor for his relationship
• the songs pretty repetitive so will require something exiting to retain the audience attention
• the use of the same actor being in the narrative and performance may be confusing
• uses of dark locations may be hard to film in and acquire good shots
• fitting the microphone and actor in the studio may result in a clustered shot
