Research and ideas for chosen songs

Sun dont shine- Sonnentanz

Car crash, friend in the car when it crashes, friend dies- slow motion, debree coming off of car in slow motion, over shoulder shots, sun dont shine without his friend. Inspiration from coldplay- yellow. when car crash is rewinded- everything is backwards without his best friend. Teen drinking- no seatbelts, under the influence. Coming back from party- friends telling him not to drive- he drives with his friend.

Is in coma because of car crash- -'dont ever let go'- lyrics link with visuals. Wakes up in the end, happy ending. When trumpet sound comes on, heart monitor shows.

Initial Planning Ideas

• Max Heath-
• Bluke Thompson- Luke has gained experience with the camera and is confident incorporating different shots and editing techniques in order to create a successful music video.
• Rhiannon Andrews-West- Rhiannon has acquired inspiration from various music videos and has suggested that we incorporate different features from them, she also made sure that we stick to the conventions and stay within our narrative.
• Will Stacey- Will expresses his ideas with passion.

Meeting 1

We had a range of choices and genres to pick from and collected all of the ideas that we had to share within the group, but we narrowed it down to the house/dance music genre  as that is where most of the innovation came from. By evaluating all of our options we could analyse the defects that each one would have and whether or not it conforms to the conventions of a typical dance muisc video. This was as well as selecting the target audience that our video would be most suited to. These were our options;

1. Zinc- Only for Tonight- A level results, 'something on your mind' - referring to the results therefore drowning your sorrows with excessive drug use and alcohol consumption. - This one we felt was not an adequate narrative and was not a good enough idea to go on in terms of fabricating a successful music video.
2. Creature- Drug use- shows how you turn into a creature by using drugs, would use props such as face masks to highlight the fact that drugs have consumed and the difference between your sober self and intoxicated self.
3. We Used to be Real-
