My intention is to shoot the music video next weekend, giving me a week for the editing, which should be plenty of time.

Project Update: 04/03/12
This week have been thinking and developing my ideas for my music video. I have decided to shoot my music video in an outdoors, nature environment, as many of the lyrics in the song relate to nature and the outdoors. I am going to use 5 of my male friends who will be in the music video. They will be dressed in suits, shirts and ties, as I thought this would give an interesting contrast to the nature environment they will be situated in. The music video will begin with one person completing a series of movements whilst holding a piece of artwork (I have been working on these pieces this week, pictures will feature below). I thought that including pieces of art would give the video the artistic twist that I feel goes well with the music. The first person will be alone for 10 seconds. Then two more people will appear to the side and slightly behind the first person. The 'dance' movements will be repeated. After the next 10 seconds, two more people will appear behind and to the side of the second row, making a pyramid of 5 people. Again the movements will be repeated, whilst they are all holding different piece of artwork. It is really important to me for the moves to be clean, sharp and in synchronisation, as this will create the effect I want.

Inspirational Music Videos: 27/02/12
Incomplete Lullaby- Lisa Mitchell
The Hardest Button to Button- The White Stripes
Pixelation- Jupiter Lead
Her Morning Elegance- Oren Lavie
Initial Ideas: 27/02/12
When I first heard the music clip, the pixelation technique came into my head. I could see the effects working well with the song.
I began thinking more about what I could do with the pixelation technique to make it more interesting and stand out. I thought that manipulating the colours in the video was something that would be visually exciting and keep the audience interested, because when using some techniques there's the danger of losing the interest of the audience after they've seen the effect for the first 10 seconds. I therefore thought that I could start with a black and white pixelation effect and after 10 seconds change to a combination of black and white with a colour tint, and then after another 10 seconds replace the black and white with another colour tint. This would give the effect of a build up, getting brighter and more colourful throughout the music.
I am going to work on some test pixelation work as well as colour manipulation to see if my idea will work and be visually pleasing.
While I have decided on the technique I want to use to create my music video, I have decided what I want the visuals to be, which is of course the most important part. The song makes it difficult in a sense because the lyrics don't make much sense and seem random, more like a poem than a song which usually tells a story. If the lyrics told a specific story it would be easier to decide on appropriate visuals. I am going to brainstorm some ideas and will hopefully come up with something this week.

First Post: 27/02/12
Today we were given the brief and audio track for our music video project. We have a 30 second clip from 'Tall Buildings' by Diagrams and we are required to make a music video for this clip. There are no necessary requirements for the project, and if the band like our finished piece they could possibly ask us to make the video for the whole song.
