2. Symbolism
• From studying the music video “Its Time” it has given me the
idea of using symbolism as a part in my video, it is based on
dark and light in their video, but our song is called “Silver
Light” therefore in the video we have to make the new
equilibrium be the silver light, but since it is very difficult to
make actual silver light we need to come up with a
personification or in the form of a symbol as the silver light. A
line in the lyrics is “ We take turns so no one was alone” by
making an object silver, we could turn that object into
someone that the singer is missing, such as a previous lover
etc. but in the form of a object or symbol.
3. Colours/Locations
•
Colours are very important in our video but we will only use
black, white and silver as the main colours in the video but the video
will not be in black and white just these colours will be the most
important in the video.
•
For some of the locations we will be using my farm , some of the video
will be slow zoomed in panned shots of aesthetic objects such as a
field, trees, the sky and the sun to achieve lens flares but also I want
some darker objects such as a rusted oil barrel, broken walls, bits of
scrap etc. And by doing this I balance the light and the dark evenly.
4. Shot Types
•
The first 40 seconds of the video will have pure atmospheric shots as
there is not any singing for the first 40 seconds. The shots will be of
just objects , fields , broken walls , berries etc. And these shot types
will be extreme close ups of them with slight blurs as the camera
zooms in and out on the object or place.
•
These are some of the examples I would want to try and achieve for
a field shot. They have close ups, bright sun light, extreme close up
and blurred out of focus lights.
