I haven't been focused on choosing a song at the moment, for the video the narrative is the most important so I've been spending my time developing my characters and storyline and I want the song to reinforce the message of the video not the other way around. However I do have a few songs in mind that fit with the narrative.
This song already has a strong narrative in the lyrics and because of this I would have to change my idea slightly so it just focused on the ballerina. This song is slower than I initially wanted but it is really emotional which is what I like about it.
This song really caught my attention, it is very emotional but can be interpreted differently. The lyrics find me could relate to the characters expressing themselves through their sport so it definitely links to the story. This song isn't as slow as ballerina but has a good mix which will be great for sequences of short shots.
This was my original song choice and my initial ideas all came from hearing this. This type of video, one that tells an emotional story has always captivated me and when i decided to produce a music video a knew this is what i wanted to make. One scene i particularly like in this video is when all the characters look at their reflection and all of them become connected even though they live completely different lives.
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.
