Changing the song for my Music Video (2)

It's been a ride finding the perfect song! Before I'm judged for being too confused, I would like to express my opinion on this process of experimenting. I've tried to plan a music video for two songs now. I created storylines for a serious/inspirational song as well as a happy/enthusiastic song. Both seem too plain to me as both are saturated with a single theme.

A few days ago I came across a song that I was previously familiar with only because its starting was used in a meme. After listening to its complete version, so many ideas sprang to my mind. The song that had removed my "writer's block" was definitely the perfect song I was searching for.

This song is non-other than 'TAKE ON ME' by A-HA (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=djV11Xbc914). The fact that it has been associated with a meme may be the reason why the song prompts a story with a comedic aspect in my brain. Side by side, the music video gives a tragic/romantic vibe.

 I hope I stick to this one!

In this video, we went full swing on editing and mise-en-scene.  Action-Match and short takes prevented the video from being boring due to the limited camera angles and movements. Animation, adding layers of lower opacity, black and white tint effect, reverse and repeat effect made the music video look more interesting. Write-on and flash effects were used to introduce the title in an innovative way.  We used two studio lights, positioned at 45 degrees from the centre, with translucent white and red filters. A third light was used to form a rim of light behind the actress.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8rfe_siD6IE

Inspiration for new song

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rPmcLzgnlo8  : This song ' BIG LOVE ' by Black-eyed Peas  is a song that tears me up every time I listen to it.  I love how in this video there isn't one singer, rather everyone is lip singing together creating a sense of unity.  This may depict that everyone who (is a victim of a school shooting or is being oppressed by the government) is going through this problem isn't alone and that everyone is filled with love and should help each other. This aspect made the video far more emotional. Since this had a strong impact on me, I wanted to use a similar idea for my music video.    ' NO T TOO LATE ' by Lemaitre'   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=14Go3Jm1knc My interpretation of the song may be completely different to what it was supposed to convey. However, that's the beauty of perception. Thereafter, according to me; this song shows how in life there are difficulties. Everyone goes through har...

SCREENING

Once the music video was finally made, I was dying to see the audience reaction. Not just online but in real life too! The feedback I got was very positive and gratifying. The best part was showing the music video to the actors, who were amazed by the edited version of the clips they remembered shooting.
