Diary #1

This week i have been working the planning for my A2 coursework. After much indecision, i finally decided i wanted to make a music magazine. I have decided that i want to use a slow music track and have been looking at a few songs. Im feeling as though either Birdy - Shelter, or Lucia - Silence, might be the tracks i am going to use for my music video. This is because i decided i wanted to create a sad narrative to my music video. 
For my actual idea i have decided i will be following the life of a girl, who has woken up in either a meadow (as used commonly in music videos using the type of music i have decided upon) or a beach, as i feel its a beautiful and visually interesting place to film. The video will show various shots on her walk home. If filmed in a meadow, the shots will be showing her walking through a forest etc, if filmed on a beach the shots will be of her walking over the cobbled beach, along the shore, up mountain banks etc. It will then show her walking down roads, leading to a large beautiful thatched roof cottage, showing her walking up the drive. There will then be various shots showing her having an argument with her mum (in slow motion), as i will use shots that imply she has been out all night. Her mum will be waving her hands and miming and argument and then eventually shutting the door in her daughters face. There will then be shots showing the girl running down the drive,  and looking back as she runs into the road. She will be distressed and crying. There will then be shots showing her being hit my a car. I will then do a reverse editing on the shots, rewinding everything that's just happened, rewinding all the way back to the scene where she enters the drive. Everything will be the exact same, except rather than her mum slamming the door and shouting, she will smirk and hand her daughter  a cup of tea. The video will end with the name of the song being written on the door. 


I thought i would have it soley narrative, however, if i do chose to have performance in it. I will use close up shots of a females hands playing the piano. And also big close ups of a females red lips mouthing the words. But this is yet to be decided. 


I have also thought about the era it can be set in and what i have access to. I have access to a lot of 50's cars, which might make the video visually pleasing for the audience to watch. Therefore, might have the video set in the 50's era, using a sepia editing contast on the footage once its done. And use 50 era mise en scene such as costume to show the era also.
