Dancing on the moon by Jessica

This song is quite upbeat, happy and a bit calming. For the concept of this video I was thinking of a girl (the singer) trying to seduce a guy she likes. The video shows her taking the guy to various and doing various activates, like roller-skating and chasing one another. The video talks about stars and the moon so near the end of the video it would be good to see the characters go star gazing together on a hill. There can be a scene where the moon is projected in the background and the girl is dancing alone at the beginning of the video but at the end she is dancing with the guy, which relates to the lyrics “we could be dancing on the moon”. The video will mostly be filmed on daylight and will use bright colours to create a happy atmosphere. Locations which can be used are, grassy fields, sidewalks or the beach. There will be two actors which is a guy and a girl. The actors will wear casual clothing, maybe summer clothing as the song seems more like a summer song. The song is not very slow so there will be some fast-paced cuts, which might be focused at the chorus as the tempo of the song speeds up at this part. My video with mostly be a visual video, so there will only be a bit of lip syncing. 

Say something by Dean

This song mostly uses acoustics and has a very soft sound. It sounds like a song you would put on when you’re relaxing. So I want to create a relaxed atmosphere. The music video will look like a very casual day. It will feature one actor, it will show their everyday life of what they’re doing on a lazy day, whilst they’re continuously checking their phone. There will be shots of them lying on a coach reading and playing with a cat with a fat forward time-frame. They will be wearing casual comfy clothing like jumpers and jeans, to show how relaxed and comfortable they’re. The video should be shot in black and white or with warm tones. The video will consist of them checking their phone and looking out the window to relate to the lyrics “darling won’t you say something”, to show they’re bored and waiting for someone to contact them. The location will be based inside a house in the lounge, hallways and a bedroom. Props will include phones and usual household items. The video will be very stationary and now too many camera movements will be used to create a time lapse and relaxed effect, almost as if the camera is too lazy to move too.

Idea of you by Arty (featuring Eric Nam)

This song uses EDM and a bit of acoustics. There is quite a heavy beat in this song but it is also quite calm. For this song, I was thinking of having a guy (the singer) visit different places, where a flash back of him and his lover will be shown. The video will follow him from morning to night time, and at one point he will be looking pictures of his past on his phone. This will relate to the lyrics “Do I miss you? Or do I miss the idea of you?”. At the end of the video he will visit one last destination where he sees his lover and reaches out towards them. The track is quite fast paced, I was thinking of using a steady cam to film parts of the video when they guy is running to show the shakiness and confusion of his emotions. Natural lighting and low-key lighting will be used in the video as it features daytime and night-time. The flashbacks will use light colours creating a dream like effect. For locations, I was thinking of places where people would go on dates, like parks, cafes or a pier. There will be two actors, one who is the sing and one who plays their partner. As it is a fast-paced song the editing will have lots of fast cuts to make the video look smother with the song. My video will be different from the flashbacks that will be used for the video, whilst it is following the story of the character and is not just telling the story of the two lovers.
