Change of Plan

Unfortunately due to some difficulties shooting the originally planned music video for the Beatles "Come Together" i have had to change my plans and make go down a whole new direction. This involves a completely different idea for the video which will be hopefully less complecated and more successful.

The New Idea

My new idea for my music video is a bit easier to shoot, i had problems getting the camera and people in the different locations needed for the original idea so this time i have decided to keep the locations of the shoots alot easier to get to and hopefully this will lead to me having a better chance of getting the footage. My new idea involves a man going for a walk, that sounds waay to simple but the twist that will make the video hoepfully more interesting to watch is the introduction of colour that the main character brings. The world is going to be monotone, and he is the colour, that is the reason the people want to come together around him. So he leaves his house into the black and white world and he imediately stands out, this turns heads of the other colourless people and they decide to follow this man. As they do they too become colourful untill there is a large band of colour in the world. The people are "Coming Together" over this man and the colour he brings to their lives.

Insfluences

I got the idea of using colour as a tool from the lilly allen music video for her song "LDN" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wmYT79tPvLg&feature=related

This video plays with colour and with the scenery but i am more interested in the colour side of it. I also like the way it has been filmed, the shots of the feet walking and her walking through shot. I would like to try and implement those shots in my video.

I am also interested in creating an air of mystery for the main charater, make him a little bit of an enigma. To do this i have looked at the BBC One show "A Question of Sport" and their mystery guest round. http://www.youtube.com/watchv=wtAQ0nuvWw0&NR=1

I love the way they film these to make it as challenging as possible to work out who it is; i think that it would be a nice addition to my video and to just know the main character as the man who brings the colour, and then at the end reveal who it is. This doesn't mean to say i will have anyone of real stature in my video, no celebrities unfortunately but it will be an inclusion that will hopefully make my video stand out as something a little different.

I would also like to include split screens and possibly a little bit of cloning just to have a few more things to keep the viewer visually interested in the video.

Examples of these two effects are here:

So with these ideas and with the new redesigned music video hopefully i will do better in getting the footage i need.
