WHY IS THIS LOCATION SUITABLE FOR YOUR PROJECT?
We choose to set our music video in this field as it demonstrates connotations of:
freedom, natural, open, vast and nature. We felt that this would relate to our music
video, as the meaning of the lyrics will link with the visuals, this is because the
natural tone to the images shows that she’s letting out her natural feelings for the
male love interest and she very free and open about the way she feels about him.
The vast openness is juxtaposed by the fact that it shows that’s she is lost and
therefor caught up in her mixed emotions of love and hatred for the male
protagonist and also that she is lost in searching for him back.
The other location we are going to use is the studio, however it will not appear like
this in the music video as it will be dark with the effect of a spot light behind the
female protagonist to create a black silhouette with smoke around her. This again
links the visual with the meaning or the lyrics as it shows that she can no longer
hold her boyfriend and that he is slowly disappearing, as smoke has no physical
existence; because there is nothing to it and therefor you cannot hold it. The dark
room with the light and silhouette shows the busyness of her emotions.
