Here are a few of my song ideas and already my fixation on doing a Florence and the Machine song has changed, I've begun to think more about what the song does to my imagination and how the video will look.
I'm really struggling with what genre to pick as I feel i have so good ideas for a range of songs.
Kate Nash - Merry Happy , Nicest Thing
Florence - Swimming
Adele - Turning Tables
Supergrass - Alright
The Streets - Fit But You Know It
For instance if I chose a love song, either Adele of Kate Nash I'd like to have the couple in a field being playful, hugging, kissing, the man swinging his lover around, basically a really happy feel. I'd have it with narrative and a performance element with the artist singing certain parts of the song.
If I chose to use a Florence song I'd set it out in a woodland using mainly performance style although I think this could get slightly boring so I would need to find other ways of sprucing it up, maybe adding some abstract elements to the video. I'd create a scene among the trees with lampshades and old sofas, maybe chandeliers and bird cages dotted around too.
If I were to choose a pop, song, say The Streets or Supergrass the video would be much more upbeat and humorous with more characters and a light heartened approach to it.
I think in the next few days I will research the various types of videos for each genre and see if any particular shots, effects, settings etc catch my eye and hopefully by the end of it I will have seen enough to know what I can do and what I think will look best which will then help me to decide which genre to pick.
