After studying the codes and convetions of both music videos and documentaries and weighing up my likes and dislikes, I have decided that I would like to create a music video for my A2 Advanced Portfolio. Here is an idea I have worked on over this past week but decided against:
My original idea was to create a music video and I first wanted to cover "Goodbye My Lover" by James Blunt. My general idea was to show two couples getting married, but a man from one couple and a woman from the other were having an affiar. The first couple involved the man marrying into a middle class family and it was more a case of circumstance and parental meddling that meant he was with his future spouse. The second couple were working class and were living a mundane life. The two having an affair are in love but agree to end their relationship for the sake of their respective partners. My idea was to show the build up of both weddings showing how the man and the woman from the affair were unhappy building up to the wedding. The video would then end with the couple following their hearts and leaving their partners for one another. I was very keen on this idea and thought it had a lot of potential. However the more i thought about it the more I became aware it would be very difficult to film. The song itself is 4 minutes 18 seconds long. I don't think my idea is deep enough to contain enough footage for the entirety of the song and I would not like to include scenes just for the sake of doing so. I have one main plot involving the couples which I have just explained but I do not have any other ideas such as sub plots. Therefore I have adopted not to go ahead with James Blunt "Goodbye My Lover."
I will now begin to look at certain music videos and analyse them so that I can try to further my knowledge of how music videos are generally formatted and what certain styles there are.
