Music Video Plan 2

I decided that my first idea wasn't working for me in any way and chose a new song with a new idea and concept.

New song: Sweet Creature - Harry Styles

For this music video I want it to be narrative based and follow the everyday life of just an average late teen (17-19). But the whole way through the video they are completely infatuated with this individual who turns up anywhere and everywhere only intriguing the main character even more. The love interest or the 'sweet creature' would only be shot from the neck down and from the back so their face is never seen on camera giving the audience a chance to feel as though its them and their crush/love interest and can be interpret in anyway and any sexuality. I like the freedom of interpretation with this music video as it makes it more personal for the audience and easy to engage with.

I highlighted parts of the lyrics to write down specific ideas for specific lyrics in hopes that when it all comes together the shot amplifies the lyrics. Also just to write general ideas and notes for the music video.

Music Video Plan

Song: The Hunna - We Could Be

Have person on bench in park, long shot of them sat on bench doing nothing.

Close up of them choosing the song on iPod/phone. Shows interest in the song (nodding head/tapping foot).

Gets up and starts to walk from bench when lyrics start, walks through the park looking into camera.

Someone (a friend) joins them and they start walking side by side sharing the earphones.

As the song progresses more and more people join them walking through the park. Have original guy from beginning lip sync the ‘Ohh’s that are at the end of the chorus (amplifying, Goodwin)

I found influence in Declan Mckenna's music video for The Kids Don't Want to Come Home in that it starts with a individual (Declan McKenna) and throughout the video more and more people join him.
