Adding to my Idea

When I started filming for my music video, I found that it is hard to get a clip to look exactly how you wanted it. This being said when I captured my footage onto the computer I was very happy with how it turned out. Using this footage I then cropped down each of the clips as I was putting it together and found that it all worked very well.

As I was coming to the end of my editing I noticed that as I watched it through, there seemed to be something missing... I also noticed that there were a few gaps, with no footage to fill them. With these problems I then had to go back to the planning board and think of some ides on how to make my video feel and look complete. I brainstormed a few ideas, looking into the meanings of the song.

I came up with three ideas with are:

- Drug use

- Paparazzi 

- Other World alice in wonderland)

With these ideas in mind I asked for feedback from other classmates and with there comments I decided to go with the Alice in Wonderland Theme. This would be taking my artist to a new world in a short few clips, with a rabbit and a mad Hatter. With these clips I could use different effects and lighting to show the difference. This will bring in a storyline to my video, rather than it just being my artist singing.  This idea however caused me to have a second day of filming and to introduces two new actors to my cast. I also feel that with these new ideas I can bring a whole new feel to my supporting products, making my entire piece much stronger.

When I had decided on the idea I also thought that the release of the new ‘Alice in Wonderland’ film would be of benefit to my video. I could use it as a reason for the song.
