Pitch for Video



This is the pitch for our music video which we had decided to change after we had gotten the feedback from our initial screening. Even though we had stuck with a similar relationship (Sister/friendship) between the two characters with our second choice of branding, we had also decided that we wanted to change the storyline slightly as main character was suffering from loss.

Initial Screening



This is our initial screening video, after this we had looked at our work and decided that this was not the song for us. This had lead us onto believe that we should have stuck with something within the indie-pop genre rather than the electronic-pop genre.

Pitch of Ideas


Music video- With the music video, we wanted to have some similarities between the original music video and the one we will create. In the original music video there are a few scenes with star like projections so in our music video we wanted a galaxy theme to the performance shots like it's a place where the character can escape to.

 We also decided to take the lyrics literally. For this we decided to have a bond between two sisters as the narrative idea. We will also include some similar shots like the ones below.

Editing Plan

The main effects we will be using within our video are:

1. Double exposure - We will be using this when Abbie is in the streets, drunk. This will create an effect of point of view and to show how her character is feeling. 

2. The projector - even though this is a physical effect, we will also use this when doing the double exposure and to allow it to relate back to the chosen genre. 

3. Text - this will be shown towards the beginning of the video. What will be written is the artist name along with the song title as this is similar to their original music video. 

To edit the video we will be using Premier Pro as this is a standard program that we are familiar with from using this previously.
