Final plan of music video

To begin with me and my group had picked a slow love song to base our music video around and do a cliché 'walk in the park with girlfriend' but after much consideration we decided we needed something much more unique. We decided completely against doing a 'love song' and decided on a much more up beat song that we can make a much more varied music video.

Our final artist and song is Eleanor Rose - Black and Gold.

By using this song as the lyrics have no real meaning "a fish swam out of the ocean, it grew legs and started walking" we could pretty much do anything with our video. We decided we were going to do the music video with the artist in a 'world of her own' whilst life goes on without her. This was inspired by Will Young's music video "Leave right now" where she is in a similar situation. 

During the video we are going to have the artist in different situations with different outfits whilst being completly unaware of the things around him. Our ideas were helped with the feedback we collected (listed below)

UPDATE : 25/01/2013

Me and my group have changed our final plan due to a very complex film schedule we made which made it impossible to complete all filming and editing within the limited time we had. Here is our new filming schedule:

Date/Time	Place	What we’re doing
December 8th 2012 2:00	Lightwoods Park	Film whole song in different shots - Change of costume - casual Mixture of close ups/mid shots and long shots x3
December 15th 2012 1:00	Lightwoods Park	Close ups of face/playing guitar/ top tapping Film whole song in different shots
January 19th 2012 1:00	Lightwoods Park	Film whole song in different shots –Casual clothing –Guitar - Mixture of Close ups/mid shots and long shots x3
January 26th 2012 2:00	Lightwoods Park	Film whole song in different shots Standing outside the Bull – Change of costume – casual Mixture of close ups/mid shots and long shots x3
2nd February 2012 1:00	Walking down road Crossing road Lightwoods Park	Walking down Bearwood Crossing Hagley Road – Casual clothing Mixture of close ups/mid shots and long shots
2nd February 2012 4:00	Domestic environment	Film whole song in different shots Sitting on sofa/sitting  around dining table Casual clothes Mixture of close ups/mid shots and long shots

Before making this a final decision, we got some audience feedback from our peers where we asked them which idea they preferred and the response we received was that they would prefer to watch a less complex music video as it could get confusing if not and move away from the proper meaning of the song and lyrics.
