Final Idea

And we finally have our final idea!!
Not giving much away in detail, it's short and sweet

Upside Down & Inside Out by Ok Go

THE ULTIMATE VIDEO!!!!
this is actually amazing and I want to do it, maybe not lip synching at the same time but zero gravity; YES PLEASE!
The fact that all their videos are in one shot is just insane!!

Email to the Record Label

We emailed the company, Jagjaguwar, to ask for permission to use the song so our video doesn't come under copyright.

Mac 3 - Lip Synching

Our task was to try and lip synch our song and see whether doing a bit of a performance would fit our style of video and us as group performing. It did not go well and we know now that NONE of us are lip synching, not even a line!!

   

New Idea Research

We finally have a different idea. Still keeping the same song but instead changing the contrast of old/young.
The two characters are going to be the same age but have two different reasons why they are running away.
1st = family breakdown
2nd = fear of coming out

Here is my research on reasons why the first character is running away and how the impact of family can make you think about everything and in the end, run away.

Here is the other research as why adults run away. The two characters are both the same age (17/18 years old) and still have parental support and still can be affected by their parents opinions/choices hence why the second character is scared to or already has told her family about her sexuality and therefore she runs away because of the answer they gave or they answer she thinks they will give her.

Wash by Bon Iver

Here is our song that we have finally decided would fit our narrative music video idea. Even though this idea is still not 100% with our group following the pitch from last week we know that no matter what the story is of the song, we are still going to do this song.

Andrew Goodwin's Theory & the lyrics.
"Claire, all too sore for sound" this reflects when it is the YOUNG character being told that she isn't good enough or she'll never become a successful scientist.
"I'm telling darkness from lines on you" this can reflect the OLD character who has a low point in their career and remembers times when she couldn't see herself becoming what she is. Shown through more high angled shots or dimmer lighting, symbolising the lyrics to an extent.
"Like they stole it" this is when the OLD character losses something she's kept for all this time when she was young and it has lost a bit of her identity.

Climb 

Is all we know 

When thaw 

Is not below us 

No, can't grow up 

In that iron ground 

Claire, all too sore for sound 

Bet Is hardly shown 

Scraped 

Across the foam 

Like they stole it 

And oh, how they hold it 

Claire, we nearly forfeit 

I' I'm growing like the quickening hues 

I' I'm telling darkness from lines on you 

Over havens fora full and swollen morass, young habitat! 

All been living alone, where the ice snap and the hold clast are known 

Home 

We're savage high 

Come 

We finally cry 

Oh and we don it 

Because it's right 

Claire, I was too sore for sight 

Cigarettes In The Theatre by Two Door Cinema Club

Here is another song that I thought would go well if we were do to a more balanced music video of Narrative and Performance. However, as our group are more towards the Narrative approach, this still can be shown even though the tempo of the beat and the lyrics can have that element of lip synching; something we probably will still do in our song Wash by Bon Iver.
Also with this Two Door song it is only 2 and half minutes which means we wouldn't of been abel to do it however as the tempo and beat of the song is very fast and snappy our shots would of hopefully been good.

Here are the lyrics to the song and the video as well.

It starts in the theatre 

A night of encounters 

If I hadn't been there 

If not for a cigarette 

And you could see it change 

Look past the blinding light 

Look past the blinding light 

Just keep taking now 

Tell me your favourite things 

Tell me your favourite things 

Difference in opinion was never an issue 

Collect all your questions 

Because this time we've all night 

And you could see it change 

Look past the blinding light 

Look past the blinding light 

Just keep talking now 

Tell me your favourite things 

Tell me your favourite things 

Mac 3 Pitch

Last week, we pitched our first original idea to the group. It did not go as well as we thought. So with the help of the others we have another idea that still has some original ideas from our first initial pitch.
