Target Audience

The target audience for my product is young adults/teenagers, this is because the genre I'm looking at is typically aimed at this audience so I think it would be sensible to stay with the same audience. Music videos are mostly viewed on sites like you tube which is mainly used by a young audience.

Having a main character of this age means the audience will find it easier to relate and engage with the video and being set in the modern time means the video is in a comfortable setting for the viewer. The video is suppose to engage the audience by causing an emotional response empathised by the music.

Song Choice

I've chosen to use Powerless by Rudimental as the song for my music video. This has been one of my potential choices from when I first changed my idea. I wasn't really sure whether it would fit or not but after I put it with my footage to see how they went together, I thought they fitted really well. I've divided the song into sections of the choruses and verses so that I can match my footage accordingly. The music video to this already contains a strong narrative as do many of Rudimental's videos.

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.

This is going to be important especially to show the change in perspective between the characters. It will also give the video an edge.

Editing - Transitions (Preliminary Task)

A key part of our music video is when he appears at a different location so I spent some time adding cool transition effects to the footage. The first one is a dissolve and directional blur this doesn't quite have the flow I wanted because the shots were filmed on separate days meaning the camera angles are different. The second is a cross zoom, I prefer this one because it hides the cut between the shots a lot better making it almost seem like one take; this will be the one we use in the final cut.
