ACTORS

MAIN ACTORS 

1.

Ellie McCarthy

Female 18

I have chosen Ellie for my video as she is a media student and therefore understands the functions of a music video and as I will also be in her video it will make planning much easier. Her personal style also fits well with the theme of the video and genre of song.

2.

Molly McConnell

Female 18

Molly ia also a media student therefore like Ellie will understand the techniques and functions of filming a music video both Molly and Ellie being the same age and around the same height will work effectively when it comes to double close ups and will create a convincing singing duo.

SONG

Of the night - Bastille

GENRE

Alternative/dance the song is a mashup of Snap - rhythm is a dancer and Corona - Rhythm of the night which are both typically dance anthems covered by bastille a typically indie band

PERFORMANCE
half will take place inside in front of a white projected wall and the other half will be outside in the evening and may be in black and white

CINEMATOGRAPHY
Filmed using my iPhone and edited on iMovie using a tripod and handheld

SPECIAL FEATURES
My main special feature will be the projection on to the actors faces and upper bodies I will film short video clips and project them creating interesting light and shadow

PROPS
Minimal props will be used on set or with the characters as it would look unrealistic to have a lot of un natural props lying around a empty orchard
COSTUME
costume for projection will be plain to work as a canvas for the  the projector and costume for outside will be layered and grunge like (I will post a fully detailed costume analysis at a later date)

MAIN SET
Half of my set will be outside in a orchard/wooded area the set will be relatively dark therefore a lot of set details will not be visible. The other half of filming will take place in front of a white background with a projection overlay creating a contrast between each shot

WEATHER
Weather is not a huge problem for my filming as I intend to film in early evening just as it begins to get dark fog would add to the effect I am going for however it is not crucially important the other aspect of filming will take place inside

GENERIC CONVENTION
Grunge clothing eg ripped jeans, oversize plaid, patent boots, and sunglasses (even though it will be at night)

RISK ASSESSMENT
The main risks will be the light from the projector and tree roots, potholes or loose ground that wont be visible when dark

DATE AND TIME
I will start filming as soon as possible

Lyric analysis

My chosen song - Of the night Bastille

the song is a mash up therefore it has a lot of different layers to it this is good as there are a lot of different beats to choose from this is helpful for editing as it is easy to alternate

Rhythm is a dancer,
It's a souls companion, 
People feel it everywhere,
Lift your hands and voices,
Free your mind and join us, 
You can feel it in the air, 
Oh woah, it's a passion, 
Oh oh, you can feel it yeah,
Oh oh, It's a passion, 
Oh oh, oh, oh, oh,

(THIS IS THE RHYTHM)

You can put some joy up on my face, 
Oh sunshine in an empty place,
Take me too, turn to and babe I'll make you stay,
(OH YEAH)
Oh I can ease you of your pain,
Feel you give me love again,
Round and round we go,
Each time I hear you say, 

[Chorus:]
This is the rhythm of the night, 
The night,
Oh yeah,
The rhythm of the night,
This is the rhythm of my life, 
My life,
Oh yeah,
The rhythm of my life,

This is the rhythm of the night, 
The night,
Oh yeah,
The rhythm of the night,
This is the rhythm of my life, 
My life,
Oh yeah,
The rhythm of my life,

Wont you teach me how to love and learn, 
There'll be nothing left for me to yearn,
Think of me and burn and let me hold your hand,
Oh yeah-ah-eh,
I don't want to face the world in tears,
Please think again,
I'm on my knees, 
Sing that song to me,
No reason to repent, 

This is the rhythm of the night, 
The night,
Oh yeah,
The rhythm of the night,
This is the rhythm of my life, 
My life,
Oh yeah,
The rhythm of my life,

This is the rhythm of the night, 
The night,
Oh yeah,
The rhythm of the night,
This is the rhythm of my life, 
My life,
Oh yeah,
The rhythm of my life,

This is the rhythm of the night, 
The night,
Oh yeah,
The rhythm of the night,
This is the rhythm of my life, 
My life,
Oh yeah,
The rhythm of my life,

This is the rhythm of the night, 
The night,
Oh yeah.
