Change of song choice

We came to the conclusion as a group to change our song choice to something which can provide more attainable material, the Split the Atom song was too vague and hard to produce authentic ideas for footage. Our new chosen song is Prodigy - Firestarter, and we believe with the lyrics and song content, we will be able to create much for available footage for editing, and the final video.

Storyboard timeline

Once we had created our nine image key frames, we produced the storyboard timeline. We marked the different points on it, such as the types of shots and the 9 key frames. Here is an image of the A3 sheet:

Music to effect analysis

Effects that can be used over sounds:

• Pan shots around the band (Slow motion or reverse)
• Spotlight/Red beam
• Back white light
• Slow motion falling
• Band playing with white back lighting 

Shot list of music video:

• Panning shots around the band
• Footage of youtube video "Invention of Love"

Designs Sheet

We will be similar items to these in the pictures for when we record the band. The reason behind choosing all black is because Pendulum wear all black too - this is the band we are creating a music video for. Although we decided to change our song, we believe the choice in clothing will still be feasable for the Firestarter music video, and there will only be a few moderate changes need be.

Music video pitch

After a discussion and comparison of each others song choice and pitches, we have decided to use Pendulum - Watercolour. The music video will include studio based band production with lighting effects and abstract, weird scenes. We will also be using footage from websites such as youtube to add to the abstract effect of our video. An example of using the lighting would be the introduction of the song which starts with a heavy bass/energy boom before the vocals start - we used a beam of red and white light to blind the camera face on. Combined with band/instruments in the studio and abstract/outside studio footage we will have a compilation of various lighting and colours to interest the viewer.

The video we will be placing an effect over and editing will be The Invention of Love (2012) animation footage on youtube to combine with our black and white studio footage.

Initial song choice

Here is the song we are using to make our music video. We have decided as a group to use this as a music video because we all really like the style of it and we feel we could recreate our own piece by the using the ideas we have. As a group, we found the video very inspirational and already have some really good ideas in mind.

After a group discussion we have decided to change our video plan and song to Pendulum - Watercolour. The reason for doing this is because we know that Lip syncing is a recognised skill and if we did an abstract video for Noisia, it would've involved a lot of edits to make the video flow and would also require a lot more filming as we wouldn't have the band displayed to lip sync.
