The document outlines initial plans for three music video ideas interpreting a selected song. The first idea involves filming at a castle at night to capture vibrant lighting, with lip syncing to the music and various shots. The second focuses on a visually pleasing and realistic single shot. The third follows a character set to an upbeat Drake song with low-high camera angles while walking down stairs and past water. Strengths include scenic backgrounds and needing only one camera operator. Weaknesses are challenging lighting and limited filming periods. The final idea involves a Dave and Drake track about differences since gaining money, with a narrative reflecting grime music realism to be shown through relevant props and locations the creator can access.

1. Initial Plans
Your Name

2. Idea Generation
• Select a song/track that you like [or don’t like!]
• Generate three ideas for music videos employing styles, techniques
and conventions that we have looked at in previous sessions. Explore
how you could interpret the song differently using different methods
• You can add any extra info you think is relevant, images, mind maps,
etc
• For quick mind maps you could use bubbl.us to generate these

3. Remember…

4. Idea one
• Using the castle at knaresborough to get good visuals ( could climb it)
at night the lights are vibrant green purple and red
• Lip sync to music
• variety of shots

5. Idea two
• This shot is visually pleasing and and realistic for me to recreate with
little reliance on other people

6. Idea three
• Low to high camera angle swaying camera to an upbeat drake song
such as nice for what
• Camera follows main character down the stairs and walking past
water

7. Mind map of ideas
[summary of ideas]
Low to high camera angle
One main focus character Lip sync Many post after effects
Scenic background (castle,
viaduct and waterside)

8. Summary
• 5 strengths of your ideas you could use
• The castle shots create a good visual
• only need a camera man (less people to rely on making the plans
more realistic)
• 5 weaknesses of you ideas
• Can be difficult to get the lighting right on the castle to see the
people in shot

9. Final idea – artist/title/info
• Wanna know/ Dave and drake
• Brief biographical background
• The narrative in most grime music is realism. Most grime videos are
reflective of their grind and show scenes that people all over the
country can relate to.

10. Final idea – track summary
• Wanna know is a slow track detailing the the difference they’ve
noticed in life since gaining money. The track lasts 3:33

11. Final idea – your idea
• Your creative concept/video synopsis [describe your interpretation,
use of imagery or narrative, genre conventions, etc]

12. Final idea – techniques and styles
• Video techniques/style/conventions to be used [include how you
intend to implement these]

13. Summary
• 5 strengths of your ideas you could use
• Good scene set
• Need 1 camera man
• I have easy access to the locations
• I will be able to use props and clothing relevant to the video that I already have.
• 5 weaknesses of you ideas
• Lighting will be difficult to achieve
• limited time period where there aren't many people to step in shot
• Lip syncing can be difficult to get in time
• Filming outside so will need to be aware of weather

14. Potential research targets
• I will need to research areas around the castle to find the best views
for shots that fit my idea.
• I will need to research and learn filming techniques that are used
successfully in other music videos of similar genre to mine.
