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!

Media Assessement

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

Planning My Music Promotional Video

Even though, I have a general idea of the storyline of my music video, thinking of specific situations I want to portray can be challenging. I don't want to base my music video on a single problem which will make it very boring, so I've decided to incorporate many different situations in the video in a jumbled order. I made rough sketches of the different shots I wanted to take and the effects of wanted to add.                      I want to take a long video clip in which the actor is in the middle of the road and cars are moving beside him. The clip will be sped up to create a timelapse with lines of light created by the lights of the car.

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...
