TEACHER FEEDBACK

Your idea is good and fits in well with the song and the genre of the song. Your idea should make for an effective video as long as your video shooting is well planned and presented.
Good work so far.

Summary of the Fields video

This is the video that the fields have done and we personally don't think that it fits in with the music and it is a boring video. So we have incorporated our own idea and we think that our video is more appropiate and it links in with the lyrics. In this video it is slow and they don't really do much in the video so it doesn't really catch the eye and has got no background to it, there just near the sea running and got some random objects which don't fit in.

Final Pitch

Fields-Charming the flames

The video will centre on a lonely, sad person, represented as a clown. the bright colours of the costume will help to show how he stands out from everyone else.
Black and white background will represent his sad, dull life. there will be a great contrast between him and the background.
as he is walking along snap shots and photos will be taken of him. these will then be put in a photo album.
towards the end of the video he will wipe off his make up and burn the photos one by one. this is to show that he is moving on.
throughout the video we will shot shot s of the band performing in a studio. this will also be shown in black and white so that it ties in with the theme of the video. camera shots taken of the band will include:

Overhead shots
Mirrors-helps to create multiple images
Close-ups
Low angles

We think it will be a good idea to use the black and white background effect as we found that in other videos produced for this band had this effect incorporated into them.

brainstorm

Ideas: One idea is of a clown who walks around being put down by everyone because he is a clown, this will be done in pictures and then when a Polaroid is shown it carries on and shows the clown being treated like dirt. This mixes in with the lyrics 'Theres no need to bring me down
Theres no need to follow me around this town' This is a lyric from the song and symbolizes sadness.Also we have been doing some research on the band and have found out that some of their videos are in black and white and we might adopt this into our music video as well. The location will be around cambridge we don't have an exact location.

Our second idea incorporates a man in his room with a photo album looking sad then looking at the individual pictures which are in motion then the camera zooms into these pictures and takes them out as their moving and burns them because he is sad. As he burns burns them he becomes less sad and takes off more make-up.

The Fields genre is alternative
