Song Choice (Preliminary Task)

To give us a starting point we were given a list of seven songs which we had to narrow down to three and then pick a final song from. On the right is our final three choices: Of monsters and men, Miley Cyrus and Men without hats. We chose party in the USA because it is upbeat and would have been easy to come up with an idea for as it doesn't have a strong of a narrative so we would have probably shown a band and singer. Little talks was more because of the opposite as its narrative is key to the song, which we could use to create a story from, though we felt this could get complicated. The safety dance was in our top 3 because it has a quick tempo and an understandable narrative.
The two stimuli we thought we could link to these songs were carrots can help you see in the dark, this was because we felt it linked to childhood and imagination or myths. The day at the seaside we thought would fit as a location and starting point for party in the USA.

Initial Ideas

I have to so initial ideas, they are similar ideas but based around two different songs. I like to mind map my ideas because this means i can link parts together and getting everything down on paper before I start adapting it. One of the main parts of mise en scene that I want to focus on more than the others is camera angles. This is going to be important especially to show the change in perspective between the characters. It will also give the video an edge.

Final Plot Ideas (Preliminary Task)

This is our final plot ideas: The main character (a young boy) puts on his superhero mask and runs into his garden to get into his tent/den. The tent then transports him into another woodland world in which there will be others all dancing. In the middle of all the dancing and partying in the new forest the young boy will trip up/fall over in some way and as he hits the floor he will be transported back to his garden and outside the tent/den.  The boy will then realise he's back home and may be greeted by his mother asking wheres he been (that scene will be dependant on availability of actors). We tried to keep our idea as simplistic as possible, this was to ensure that we didn't over complicate the meaning of the video which is simply just about the young boy enjoying himself in his own imagination when he has the safety of his superhero costume on.

Song Choice

These are the song choices I have thought of for the revised narrative of the music video.
