In this world - This particular Moby song is quite slow and has quite a depressing feel to it so I have thought about using a dark depressing setting because the actual song is about not wanting to be left alone as the lyrics state ‘ Lordy don’t leave me all by myself’ so I have come up with the idea of using a teenage girl sitting somewhere cold and dark then walking round and round in circles as she doesn’t know what to do with herself as the situation is that her boyfriend/ friend or a relative have left her all alone so she feels she doesn’t have anyone left, however I then want to turn the negativity around to show even though someone special has left her she still has loads of friends and family to support her through the tough time she’s having.
The clothes I would want would maybe be something quite scruffy and dark, scruffy hair and smudged makeup to show that she has been crying over the departure in her life it obviously has to suit the song theme
and the setting for the video.
And as said before I’m going to be filming in both the day and night to get a feel of the real grittiness and depressing tone of the song.
Things I want to be included in my video are definitley the cloning aspect, I really like this idea and think it would suit the theme of my song perfectly and the way I want my video to look. Cloning has been used before in Madonnas video for her song
'Frozen'.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XS088Opj9o0
I think I would use the cloning when the girl in my video is sitting on the ground crying then as she gets up to walk away theres a clone of her still sitting there in the first position she was in. Hopefully this will make it look effective.
Another idea I really like is when someone or people are standing still and the streets around them are moving really fast, I have already mentioned this idea for the Young Folks video, however as I am not doing this video I think I still want to use this idea perhaps when the girl in my video is going a bit crazy about everything that's happened and suddenly she stands very still and the setting that shes in is really fast like its been fast forwarded. This link will show you how I would want it to look; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MC20g1NVsRc
I definitley want some close up shots of the main people in my video especially of the main girl so you can really see their facial expressions and get an understanding of how they feel, I would drop the close ups in every now and then instead of it being one long one per scene.
I also like the idea of split screens but I dont want to over do it and ruin the effect of the video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UvjuEsfdiT4 This is one of Alicia Keys videos that features split screens.
I think for certain scenes of my video i am going to use black and white shots then colour to give a unique gritty feel to it. Perhaps when I use my clones i could make one of them colour then the original in black and white http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sv0_bFpeLI8 In this particular Oasis video the whole video is black and white.
I think for the song that I have chose I need some lip syncing as well as the story being told. Because my song is quite slow and depressing I want the person to be singing right into the camera just like Sinead O Connor is in the 'Nothing compares to you' video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iUiTQvT0W_0.
In this particular song the video is really basic but has such an impact with just the facial expressions of Sinead herself and some distance scenes, I really like the idea of her singing with such emotion into the camera as said above and because the song and idea of my video is about a break up I think it would look good for the person in my video to do a similar thing.
Whitney Houston's song 'I will always love you' also has the same aspects I want for my own video, there's a part where she is sitting on a chair and the camera zooms in on her then the background changes and the camera zooms back out and in this time the background changes, I really like this aspect and hopefully can incorporate it in my music video using a green screen. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VRUxgGVcmzg
