Our Music Video Style

We are planning on merging narrative and performance styles within our video. These aspects will be linked with the structure of our chosen song, in the sense that we will link different sections of the video to different sections of the song. In order to achieve this, we will use a narrative style throughout the introduction, initial buildup, bridge, and second buildup of the song. These sections are the calmer sections within the song, and are a lot less lively, meaning the viewer will be able to focus more closely on the story taking place, which will tell of a character trapped within the cycle of everyday life, longing to 'escape to another world' (A lyric from our song) in the form of a get-together, or party event. The performance aspects of the video will occur during the first and second verses, or 'drops', as since these parts of the song are a lot more lively, it will mean that the audience will not have to derive any complicated plot or storylines, and can simply focus on the song itself, along with the lively scene reflected in the video. This will feature a party, or 'rave' scene, where the character from our narrative section will be present. We will be sticking to conventional techniques for shooting these scenes, which incorporate fast cutting, loose camera movement and shots.
