Planning: Using 70's tv footage of mods and rockers- and news broadcasts






Within our music video, we have chosen to add in elements of 80's footage of mods and rockers, along with news articles and hippies. We have chosen to do this as we feel that it adds to our music video in creating the idea of nostalgia, memories and rebellion, this also means that our video is starting to become more and more post modern. The clips used in this scene, other than the mask overlay and Indya's eyes are not ours

Planning: Potential new shot


We think that we could emulate this shot within our music video for the lyric, "Media couldn't buy your soul"- as it resembles the how society is drip-fed what we are thought to believe. On the lyric we think that the person could be in a medium close up, then hands appear and cover the eyes and the mouth.

Group post: Inspiration for extreme close-ups from Adele


Extreme close-ups

Throughout Adele's- Hello the music video features many extreme close-ups of the star. This essentially conveys facial expressions more clearly- to push the lyrics so they have a more compelling meaning. I believe that this could help within our music video to convey more emotional lyrics.

Group post: Lack of help for the second shoot

Considering our last big shoot turned into a slight nightmare because of the loss of footage, we decided we would need to reshoot. This shoot didn't turn out particularly well, this was the reason of our cast not showing up. I believe this was down to the fact that we had already done the shoot and people lost the motivation to redo it. Our organisation of the shoot was equal to the first shoot but because of reasons listed people were unable to help us.

Planning: Vignette mask

Within our music video, we have added in a vignette from a freeze frame in order to create a still image for the background- this was quite difficult at first on photoshop but with the help of our teacher we achieved the look we were after. We also used a blur in order to make it not as harsh, we also chose to use pink for the background, this is as the pink flowers created synergy with the pink flowers in Indya's hair- pink is also an incredibly feminine colour- and makes Indya appear girly and incredibly feminine.
