Research 3 (Preliminary Task)




Tears for Fears - head over heels doesn't have a similar storyline to our idea but it was produced at the same time as the safety dance so it is useful research for our music video.
The story is pretty easy to understand the boy likes the girl, but the feelings aren't mutual. The video has a few strange elements, such as the monkey. The footage is a lot of long, close up shots that show the emotion on the singers face well; these we could use on the boy. On the editing side there's a lot of transitions like cross fading between shots, which we have talked about using to link the locations in the music video. The storyline has a definite ending, showing them in the future, this is going to be important for our music video so the story is explain and it all makes sense.

This video features numerous different editing skills and camera shots throughout the video, the wide range is something I want to echo in my video, however I found the lack of obvious narrative frustrating as it lacked meaning. By following the one character through the video is easily to follow through the simplistic idea which was executed well through the smooth editing skills.

Actors

This is Ruth, Freddie and Chris. I asked these to film because I wanted it to look like a young family and I was positive they would be willing to help out. I am hoping that their connection to each other will come through on camera. This is John and Harry they are brothers and have kindly agreed to be in the music video. As with the family I want there connection as brothers to come through in the footage. There's is a big age gap in there and I would like the influence of the older brother to be obvious when I film, so he comes across as a role model. Josie acted as Becky Hill the featured singer on the song. The setting was a recording studio were Josie lip synced the song, with the recording microphone and stand I managed to get as a prop.
