Final Ideas for Music

Video

Chosen Song: ‘Heartbeats’ by Jose

Gonzalez

Our Idea

• Our Idea is a narrative story where a

man breaks up with his girlfriend and

goes into a forest to think and reflect

on what has just happened. He then

decides he has made a mistake and goes

to give her a flower but she is no where

to be seen.

• The reason we have chosen a romance

theme because simply it is a love song it

will suit the storyline and we can have a

lot of visuals matching lyrics in our

music video.

Setting

• We have looked at many music videos in the

genre of Indie folk music and we found from

watching a around 8 or 10 videos that all of

them had nature imagery in them.

• We also found out that ‘Heartbeats’ will suit

the nature imagery as the tempo of the song

is slow which will match the peaceful

ambiance of the forest.

• We have looked at a lot of possible locations

to shoot the video that were rural and quiet

and we finally decided to choose the Lookout

in Bracknell. The reason we chose this

location was because it is local and had the

best scenery compared to the other

The Lookout

Props

• ACOUSTIC GUITAR: We were thinking about having a

performance aspect to our music video so we

have got an acoustic guitar if we decide to put

this in.

• MOBILE PHONE: We also may have a the break up

over the mobile phone or text at the start of

the video which could help us as actors are

unreliable and only having one in the video

will be easier for us.

• FLOWER: The flower that we have chosen is not

going to fit into the surroundings of the forest

as it is going to be colourful.

Costume

• Our main actor who is going to be a

young male around the age of 18 – 25.

He is going to be wearing casual

clothes which are not brightly

coloured. We have decided this

because from watching the music

videos we saw that the actors were

wearing no flashy jewellery or

accessories and just a plain t shirt

and jeans.

Weather

• We want it to be sunny in our music

video but it would not matter that

it was cold and cloudy as it would

suit the storyline of a break up.
