One of our locations was a forest. We decided to use one of our locations as a forest because we found that we could do a lot with this one specific location and we could portray it in so many different ways with the help of using different props, makeup and costume. One way we used it was to show our artist was happy and content, whilst singing the song however we flipped this around and used it to show how she was trapped and isolated from the world and we found that a forest would show this in the perfect way.
Another location that we used was a lake/ river. We used this as this location fitted with our lyrics of the song for example "Still waters run deep" so too connote this we found that a lake or a river would be perfect to show this. Again similar to the forest we could use this in a variety of ways, but mainly using it for the still waters.
This last one is not a specific location however we thought that by doing a time-laps of the sky or sunset would compliment our locations and our song. Our song is a relatively slow song and so by doing a time-laps at the start we thought it would set the scene of the music video nicely and it would also start to give the audience an incite of the music video without giving too much away, so they are starting to guess and think about the music video which is what we want.
We have made a few changes along the way of constructing our music video, we are now introducing an aspect of the music video using a projector, which projects an moving image onto a wall whilst the artist is stood in front of it. We thought this would create more of a specific and we thought our original ideas didn't fit with our music. As of this new idea we now use the schools theatre to create this effect.
We also are using a whiteboard and someone writing 'Drop Your Guard' on the white board. We thought of using this in our music video as it may added versatility to the video.
We have listened to feedback from other media students about our music video and we have decided to make the whiteboard out and have Georgia holding bits of paper with Drop You Guard on and she drops them.
