Pitch

For our music video we have decided to use the track The Remedy (I won’t Worry) – Jason Mraz.
We have chosen this track as we had more initial ideas for this particular track than any of the others. Some ideas we came up with for the music video of this track were:
Shooting scenes in places such as Punting in Cambridge, possibly London, the River Cambs, or the seaside (possibly in Hunstanton)
We also had the idea of setting up a drum kit in other settings such as a field, or the top level of a car park when dark.
The inspiration for the music instruments set up came from the following videos;





For the editing we had the idea of Camera Cranking one of the scenes, for example a busy scene with a lot of cars or people passing behind the person in the video. We could for example film the actor moving half the speed they would normally, with everyone/everything else travelling at normal speed and then sped up to twice the speed when uploaded on to the computer.
Another way of achieving this effect would be to use split screen.


Another video with an idea we thought we could use is It’s Only Love – The Maccabees. They base the entire video on a sketchpad, drawing and writing things which has been sped up and cleverly edited together after filming. We thought rather than basing a whole video on this idea like they have, we could use little snippets of this idea. Drawing relevant pictures on a sketchpad and fitting them together in to short animations using Istop Motion.
The following video is where the inspiration of this idea came from:



This video uses iStop motion all the way through, this effect is used well and gives the illusion that the notepad is 'alive', and that it tells a story on it's own. Although occasionally you see the artists' hand drawing the pictures/writing the speech, most of the time it is made up of separate images put together of the gradual progression of the drawing/writing.

For our production we could also integrate actual footage with drawings in the sketch pad; we could draw cartoons and Istop motion them to mimic the actions we film in our chosen locations, blending them in together to create the effect of the sketchpad telling the story of what is actually happening.
