Music video planning

Some things on the mind map are only suggestions, just in case there are complications whilst filming the video. For example, if it is a very windy day when filming, the confetti would be hard to film; through this, as a group, we will come up with a risk assessment.

Change   

Don't look ahead, there's stormy weather
Another roadblock in our way
But if we go, we go together
Our hands are tied here if we stay

Oh, we said our dreams will carry us
And if don't fly we will run
Now we push right past to find out
Or either win what they have lost

Oh ah, oh ah
We know now we won't go
Oh ah, oh ah
Our lives worth fighting for
Oh ah, oh ah
We know now we won't go
Oh ah, oh ah
Our lives worth fighting for

So let them say we won't do better
Lay out the rules that we can't break
They wanna sit and watch you wiggler
Their legacy's too hard to take

Oh, we said our dreams will carry us
And if don't fly we will run
Now we push right past to find out
Or either win what they have lost

Oh ah, oh ah
We know now we won't go
Oh ah, oh ah
Our lives worth fighting for
Oh ah, oh ah
We know now we won't go
Oh ah, oh ah
Our lives worth fighting for

In their heads and in their beds
In their eyes it shows
When the beacon breaks well then
You ask and they don't know
Oh tell me then
I turn my back well the odds all stand beneath meAnd they all said I was mislead
But now the odds now standing with me

Oh ah, oh ah
It rolls into the gold
Oh ah, oh ah
Our lives worth fighting for
Oh, we said our dreams will carry us
And if they don't fly we will run
Now we push right past to find out
Or either win what they have lost

Oh ah, oh ahWe know now we won't go
Oh ah, oh ah
Our lives worth fighting for
Oh ah, oh ah
We know now we won't go
Oh ah, oh ah
Our lives worth fighting for

Change

We hear them run, but don't hear what you say
Now here we come, can't throw nothing in our way
We hear them run, but don't hear what you say
Now here we come, can't throw nothing in our way

Our artist and chosen song

When looking for a song, we was searching for one under the hybrid genre called 'electro-pop' and this is because it meshed with the aesthetic we imagined. For our artist/song inspiration, we considered Lorde, Tove Lo - Habits (Stay high), Marina and the Diamonds, Florence and the Machine, Amy Winehouse and Christina Aguilera. In spite of the diverse choices of artists, the main focuses were what type of image they show as an artist, what type of music they produce, what kind of creative style they display in their music videos in general and lastly, the pace of the song. The song is also suitable because the pace is fast enough to make a good amount of cuts that will keep the viewer's attention without being repetitive throughout the entire video. 

This music video was our main and first inspiration and it is what we imagined in our head initially when thinking about what look we want our music video to have:


By going under the genre electro-pop genre, this allows us to be more creatively flexible when filming and such; because the genre is quite contemporary therefore there are no specific conventions that we have to follow. Our original idea was to have a bright, warm and summer-y look and to film around city markets however, that wouldn't be sensible because we'll be filming during October/December and it will get dark quicker. We particularly liked the look of this music video because the contrast between the blue/negative colour palette stood out against the neon lights throughout the video to us. Although, we thought that this might be unachievable because of technology/skill limitations.
