pon was trying to find somewhere

hat reflects elegance and the

meaning of the song but at the

ame time reflected the mood of

orrow and portrayed a bleak and

epressive feel towards the song.

hese pictures are ideas that I had

or when the main character is

itting next to the terminally ill

rother that would look out of the

window to access a flash back

cene that would portray how the

rother became ill. The use of a

white effect would portray

nnocence and portray a

omforting feeling that the main

haracter would have towards his

brother. Ideally, the initial idea

was to try and obtain a drip to

reate the ideology that the brother

s seriously ill. But finding one was

ard to obtain. For that reason we

ouldn use it. But stillncorporated this white idea.

.

One of mine and Ben ideaswould be to have the singer

walking down some country roads

or in a secluded field, this way it

would connote ideas of isolationthat would reflect the mood, also

though it would help relate back to

folk genre conventions with fields.

This choice of location was

carefully thought out and we chose

to use a field very close to the

location of the house. This meant

easy access to and from the field,

ensuring that filming was simpler

and travel distance wasn aproblem.

These locations are also ideal

and perfect as they reflect

where folk began. It began inthe wild. It's a natural style of

music that has been played in

fields, mountains and

festivals for years! Fields like

these have been used in

music videos before but

mainly in folk.

In this scene we would have the

male/female actor walking across

the field playing the guitar. You can

see in this picture but there are hay

bales at the very back of the field

and we could have to actor walking

towards it and sitting on it.

These three images are perfect

examples of a shot we would like to

encompass into our video. These

epresent freedom and individuality,

which is what we want to expresshrough our video. But At the same

ime we also aimed for a look that can

express sorrow and depression, This

can possibly be achieved through a

black and white overlay to express the

bleakness of the music video. Again

having a field that is isolated would

help to enforce this idea.

This photo reflects the area

which will be transformed into the

area where I will hang white

sheets to co-ordain of an area.

Within that area I will have a

small bed, padded put with

sheets, quilts and pillows. I will

place a small chair next to the

bed for the 'brother ' to sit on and

hold the 'ill' brothers hand while

crying. This effect will then grab

the passive audience and thus

they are then intertwined within

the storyline, eager to explore

more in-depth with it.

I had the idea that a camera could go

along the side of my house and rise

up on a large stick and have it enter

through either of the top windows. It

would enter into a white out area with

the ill brother on a bed with his brother

next to him. This would then portray

that Myself and Ben have thought

about the use of an establishing shot

and it would also show that we havethought about the ideology of entering

someone life and looking in ontheir lives. This idea has been used in

the music video tan by Eminem?

where you enter the window to look

upon tan ?life. So by relating

back this idea to our video I have

shown that I have thought of different

camera conventions used in music

videos.

This is the window the camera

will enter from the outside. The

only hard part of this scene I

think will be getting the camera

safely through the window with

no jolts or shakes while filming.

If this whole scene works, it will

be a perfect example and

reflect the lyrics perfectly. Also

this could be the shot from

where the main character looks

out of the window for the

flashback scene. Form using

this idea the audience can

clearly establish which parts

are in the flashback and which

are not.
