MAIN IDEAS FOR OUR
VIDEO.
Acoustic song, which is
slow paced.
Lots of visuals, with
hardly any miming.
Using shots such as close
ups and fade ins and double
time editing to introduce to
link other scenes
altogether.
Creates the effect of the
music video only been
filmed in one shot.
Making the music
video appear more
as an story.
Having a longer
introduction, to
introduce the
video.
3. ACOUSTIC SONG-SLOW
PACED.
• We thought having a slower song would
benefit us since we could use a larger
variety of shots compared to just doing
a lot of quick cuts if we were doing an
quicker song.
• The artist we are focusing on is James
Bay; this is because he is a new and
upcoming artist who hasn’t got many
official music videos (the ones he does
have are the same [him playing guitar
and singing the song])

4. LOTS OF VISUALS, CREATING A STORY LIKE FEEL
• We thought that this would be a good idea,
this gives us the chance to show off our camera
skills by being able to use a large range of
camera shots.
• Many music video directors use this technique
to create more of an artist music video.
• An example of this is

58s This is a music video directed by Mr.
Brainwash. This video has a lot of visuals which
create a meaning without focusing on the
song.
5. USING SHOTS SUCH AS CLOSE UPS AND FADE
INS, DOUBLE TIME EDITING TO INTRODUCE AND
LINK OTHER SCENES ALTOGETHER.
• Since we are using a slower song we can focus
more on the editing and camera shots.
• The double time editing effect is quite popular in
music videos that use more visuals, this is
because it gives the effect that either time is
passing by quickly or that everything is really
hectic and rushing around.
• An example of this is this music video by Lewis
Watson,
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w9LVU34xQ
Ao -the double timing affect is used in the video
to show the busyness of the scene .
6. MAKING THE MUSIC VIDEO APPEAR MORE AS
AN STORY.
• Since e are creating a music video for a slower
song, we thought that making it appear as
more of a story rather than a stereotypical
music video would make it more interesting.
• This is a popular technique with many music
video directors, especially the ones who used to
specialise as film directors.
• An example of a director that uses this
technique is Anthony Mandler, he has directed
music videos for world famous artists such as
Rihanna and Drake.
7. We think that we would be a
brilliant choice for the music video
contact. We have a clear idea of
what we want our final product to
look like; we feel as though we
would be able to create a high
quality music video.
THANK YOU FOR LISTENING TO OUR PITCH.
