Initial Thoughts and Ideas (Research and Planning)

I had many ideas when we were initially given our tasks of making a music video, after the decision of the song it became easier to start linking ideas with lyrics and also sounds that were being produced from the music. My first idea was to have a couple lying against a black board and to move in almost robotic ways whilst different words appeared in white above them; almost like a stop motion. After much discussion this seemed to become more and more like an impossible idea as it would take hours of filming in the little time that was available to us. Thus brainstorming began again. The idea of a black background I thought would help incorporate the feel of the piece and to keep the attention on the couple, almost as if when you're in a relationship the world stops around you and at moments it's only the two of you and that's it. 

As time progressed I began thinking of what i could use to represent the love that i was trying to convey in the video. I then thought of the idea of glitter and feathers being thrown in the direction of the couple in some way. This then lead on to using it in the chorus bass drops in the music as I could create an effect of passion and use reverse transition and in post production. This was my strongest idea and i believed would help represent what i wanted to convey in the best way.      

      
I was really happy when i finally came up with a concept that I felt would work, although most of the work with the feathers and the glitter would happen in post production it would work as a way to represent love.
