Me and Obed both are starting to look at ideas for songs, and what sort of things we will be putting in to the music video and beginning to write down ideas. We have decided to go for a performance and narrative video as both have there strong points so we will be switching from one to the other through the video...
Performance demonstrates your ability to lip and instrument synch, lighting, choreography, as well as coverage (angles & close ups) and beat editing, however this is difficult to do well, and requires time, planning, rehearsals and lots of footage (therefore editing time) to look professional. On the other hand, narrative demonstrates your ability to in tell a story with a concept based on the themes or mood of the song that you are then associating with the artists, but this can be hardest of all as it requires you to write in effect an entire short film, with characters, drama, meaning, plot development etc which last 3 mins plus with fast paced editing. (linear, non-linear etc). This puts pressure on your choice of a song to inspire a dramatic and interesting story.
