Brainstorming

Upon choosing the song between our group there were lots of great ideas flying around and that a large proportion of them we want to use within our video. However before we rushed into deciding on what ideas we will and wont use, we decided that we should listens to the song a number of times so we could get a better understanding of the layout; to decide where we need a softer and quieter scene to be set and when we will need a much faster and harder section to the song. After deciding on this we used the fresh lyrics that I had sorted to be into the correct order (as it’s a remix no lyrics had been published on the internet) and started to mark the sheet with where we might want to try and use fast or slower clips and shots.

From this very useful activity we then started to look at all the ideas that we individually have for each part. One of the first and most approved ideas that we had was the use of a piano within the introduction and the first verse of the song. This is because at the start of the song there is a nice opening solo on the piano that is slowly accompanied by other instalments that is all illustrated on the sheet that I have uploaded into blogger. However we soon decided that that at the beginning of the song there isn’t enough time to set the correct type of mood/scene before the music starts (if they start at the same time) therefore we will start the video a few second before the song starts in the editing section so that we can have more piano shots.
Another idea that we nearly unanimously decided was; as the song has a big essence of rave within it would be a good idea to involve the use of both UV lighting and UV paint. So after deciding that we would try and involve an essence of UV paint in our video a new song and video was released to the world. This was the new song by “the black eyed peas” after watching the video and seeing that they had the same idea as we did consulting the UV paint it became a great source of inspiration about how we would use it.
