Planning: Initial Ideas



Initial Idea 1:

  • Arlissa's voice, female is lip synching 
  • upset over his girlfriend and cannot seem to get over her
  • inclusion of flashbacks and old memories
  • the idea idea of old vs new and past vs present
  • against Kaplan's idea of making sure editing is noticed, I will include some continuity editing
  • there will be a relationship between the lyrics and visuals, this will be illustration
  • commercial exhibitionist, the 'singer' will be included in  shots their own
  • Carlsson's idea of editing to the beat 
  • within the staged category, links to Railton's theory
Initial Idea 2:
  • about 2 gay men in an abusive relationship. They love each other, yet this cannot carry on
  • Alissa will be singing but it will be from the victims point of view
  • the couple were engaged until the arguments, fights and abuse began
  • the use of mirrors to suggest 'self reflection'
  • victims feels like he is not good enough
  • use of white background to portray emptiness
  • close ups of crying 
  • against Kaplan's idea of making sure editing is noticed, I will include continuity editing
  • there will be a relationship between the visuals and music as it will set the tone, it will be amplified
  • electronic shaman as the 'singer' will not be included in the music video
  • Carlsson's theory of editing to the beat, as well as visual effects and graphic elements to make the setting have a cold hue
  • category of a narrative
Initial Idea 3:
  • old best friends who have lost touch
  • old memories and flashbacks 
  • not just love in relationships but in friendships too
  • their friendship is not the same anymore, but they don't know why
  • links to Kaplan's idea of noticeable editing
  • the visuals and lyrics may show signs of disconjuncture
  • televised bard
  • include a high frequency of cuts
