2. -914400-114300000Perhaps using a bus window in the dark (as a strong reflection is shown here) to bring the two narratives together, or the two narratives on the two different sides of a window/screen.

3. Perhaps if filming only by night is unavailable than to change the footage through editing to look darker (maybe a grey scale).

4. 4508500132588000The shot I personally have thought about the most is the introduction shot; the male lead (perhaps myself) leaves a female character (evidently a love interest/partner shown through a kiss) the camera follows the lead onto the bus and onto the back seat where he sits and then the camera zooms into his iPod (as he chooses the song ‘Misery) this is when the song begins and the camera zooms into the screen to which there is a jump cut where the narrative starts at the beginning of the relationship of the male lead and female character and the video then ensues a parallel narrative that leads you up to the end of the relationship (the bus exit seen earlier).Video Location<br />There are several settings we are hoping to use for our music video, including the studio at college for any film that needs editing highly in post production (such as IPod transition shots), a bus or car (preferably at night) for the introduction scene, the Marina in Hartlepool (also at night perhaps) for some other scenes, also we hope to include a few other settings. The reason for this is as it is most likely going to be a diegetic narrative it seems only natural that a person would not stay in one place for several months so this use of setting change will show the process of time throughout the narrative of the relationship. <br />Costume Ideas<br />Because the video is most likely to be a diegetic narrative highly eccentric costume would not be coherent, as most people do not go dressed around as clowns or anything like that. However there are ways to use costume seen in recent pop genre videos for the costume use in this genre is usually simply fashionable; so the use of ‘current clothing’ instead of our own might be a wise choice here. Perhaps if there are any scenes where the lead is getting ready for the day or it is the early morning or night there could be fitting costume use there such as pyjamas or slippers.<br />Casting<br />525780092265500Our casting will mainly be of ourselves and perhaps friends and family (for scenes were there requires more than two people) the reason for this being is obviously that we cannot afford to hire anybody. However we will still be selective of our cast perhaps picking people we know study performing arts or people we know are comfortable in front of a camera as if we pick somebody who isn’t it will make our entire storyline seem unbelievable as the watcher will not be immersed in it as it will not feel natural.<br />By David Leighton <br />
