Influences and Intentions 2
After looking at the song lyrics again and thinking
about what type of props we’d need, we decided
that it might be useful to have a key prop used throughout our video.
Influences and Intentions 2
In the lyrics, the singer mention the ‘legacy’ of a friend staying
with him. We thought that this could be represented by a book
– symbolic of fables and legends. These are used
frequently in films and other media to represent a story or a
memory, and is therefore a good intertextual reference for
our video.
Influences and Intentions 2
Starting to shoot photographs for our photo-board also made us think about what shot types we needed, and we found that
close ups were more mysterious and subtle. I
personally liked the way props were filmed in close up in Jeff
Buckley’s ‘Grace’ – quick flashes that are abstract and symbolic.
Influences and Intentions 2
I think that having books used as props scattered
around each location would be good way to link
locations, and also link the lyrics to the visuals. It would
also mean there was more for the camera to linger on
in abstract close ups and cutaways
Influences and Intentions 2
The central book used could also provide a bit more narrative to the
story, as our target audience research showed this was
something quite a lot of people expected from a music video. The
central ‘legacy’ book would be searched for by the singer, and
once found, would lead the singer out of the dark interior of the barn
into the light exterior of the countryside.
