Initial proposals for A2 Music Video

My two songs that I have chosen are;

Moby – In this world http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dtBnfJvf6eQ
Peter, Bjorn and John – Young folks http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=51V1VMkuyx0

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.

Here I have put an image of a girl from a popular TV series to show how I would want the person in my video to look like.
I don’t think I want anyone in my video to be lip syncing the lyrics I’d prefer if they just act out the story for the song.
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.

Young folks – This song is the complete opposite to the Moby track, firstly it’s much more upbeat and fun and also has a more positive light hearted feel to it. The song itself is the telling the story of a romance beginning between two young people and I like the idea of recreating this scene obviously changing a lot of the story.
I would like to film a busy shopping street (Dartford, Bromley) where a teenage boy and girl suddenly stop and see each other and from this they realise they would like to get to know each other better, again I don’t want them miming the song as I feel in that location it won’t look right. With the busy shopping street scene I have the idea of the street filled with loads of people being made to look like its being fast forwarded and just the boy and girl standing still staring at each other.
From this I would then want them to be taken to a ‘chilled out indie’ style party preferably a garden party. I would also want the people in my video to be wearing bright coloured indie style clothes so they stand out from the crowds of people in the street.

A third song choice would be Bill Withers 'Aint no sunshine' http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tIdIqbv7SPo
