Idea for Music Video

Today we chose the song for our music video, we agreed on changing the song from our initial idea Shontelle T-shirt to Battle Field by Jordan Sparks.



 We have come up the concept of our music video as being based around a ballet dancer. We will begin the music video as the main character the little girl and then show how she grows up and progresses in her dancing. The narrative is going to show how the girl uses ballet as a form of escapism from the continuos unhappy marriage of her parents. It also shows how the little girl feels alone and also constantly let down by her parents who always fail top attend her ballet rehearsals. We are going to focus the camera work mainly on her dancing shot in both a dance studio and also on a main stage with a audience, there will also be other locations we will film at such as streets where the girl will make her way to ballet classes and also a shot of her sitting down on the pavement on the side of the road, after her parents have failed to collect her after her dance lesson. 



Furthermore we also explored some other music videos in which we could use as our preforming song, we also looked at these songs as they are performed by the artist in which have influenced our artist such a s Pixie Lott Gravity as this also shows the aspects of dancing that we would like to include in our music video. We think this works as the dancing is filmed in black and white colours therefore i feel it creates a dramatic and also serious tone to the music video, focusing on quiet perhaps sad and serious events in which the audience can recognise and relate to. 

 


Another music video by Pixie Lott which also films the contemporary dance sense in quiet dark colours is Broken Arrow. Again i feel this adds tension to the music and also a serious tone to the lyrics being sung, by the artist herself, this could perhaps be addressing the idea that the artist finds it so serious as she herself has experienced this kind of neglect and sorrow.
