Initial Ideas & Mood Board

Initial Ideas Mind Map

Our chosen band within our group

is going to be a drum and bass

artists so we can explore different

shots and cutting rates throughout

the video that we will be shooting.

We have decided that this band

will be Pendulum as they are

highly recognised throughout the

UK and the rest of the world and

have the right sound and beat for

us to explore.

For the genre of our video we

are considering a horror

aspect and tension through

the build up to the drop and

climax of the song. This

tension will be created with

low cutting rates and freeze

frames used within the video.

Also we will use a lack of

focus and shaky cam to

create a panicked and

compacted feel to the

climaxing elements of the

video with a slowing down

towards the end.

Within the video we are

wanting to use characters to

represent the singer and also

to represent a separate identity

within the video aside from the

lyrical aspects. We are still

deciding on whether we will

feature males or females or

both within the video and which

would be better suited which

we will decide as we explore

our song choices.

Our setting for our video

we have decided will be

around a woodland area

of in a meadow in a rural

location. This will go well

with the wildness of the

bands songs that feature

quite a surreal element so

we would like as little

distractions as possible to

the music and the shots

we will produce.

Our options for song

choices are currently

between:

Pendulum – Witchcraft

Pendulum – Watercolour

Pendulum - Crush

We will use limited props

within our music video as we

want the setting and the

edits we put into the video to

be the main focus along with

the composition involved in

the music video.

We are looking at masking

our characters within the

video or using some special

make up on them to create

the theme to the video.
