Ideas for my music video include having live performance mixed with a story.

I would like to have elements of narrative throughout my music video

Story Board

This is the story board of my music video. There are various camera angles that are going to be used, the most common is close up angle on the guitar. During the video there is going to be an overlaying effect. There is going to be use of daylight and night time.

References

In my video, I have referenced Ed Sheeran in some parts, mainly from his video Lego House. In the video they use slow motion when the main character is walking and miming to the song. In my video I will be filming a lot of it outside, the weather does not have to be perfect as I can use objects such as light reflectors to get better lighting.

Another artists I have referenced in my music video is Ben Howard, his video for Keep your head up is filmed outside and uses nature and other aspects in his video. 

Test Footage

In this footage I tested using slow motion to make the video look a bit more interesting and shows that it is not in real time. I want to use this effect in the beginning and middle of my music video. 

Test Footage

This footage was used to test whether using fast motion would work. I may not use this effect as it doesn't suite the overall theme of the video, but it was good to test it out.

Test Footage

This test footage was to practise getting the music in time with the actual footage. I used the introduction of the song which lasts approximately 4 seconds.

Test footage

I practised using the overlaying technique this makes the video have a ghostly effect, this could work well on my video as it is a slow relaxing song and this effect could make it more interesting.
