A2 Media Draft Video

Due to very unfortunate unforeseen circumstances, we were unable to film the entirety of our video to the best quality achievable. The camera we were planning on using was sent in for repair and various other non academic commitments led to the band members being changed last minute resulting in filming being of worse quality than first expected. The location we were planning on using was otherwise engaged and we had to resort to a friends band practice room in order to produce some footage for the draft. This resulted in the miss en scene not corresponding to our chosen genre and therefore making the video look abysmal. We all now well informed that our location will be available for us to use to film the final edit of our music video along with our original camera and band members. Ultimately, this should lead to the video being of the standard we first expected.

Final Song Choice: The Black Keys- Lonely Boy

LYRICS

Well I'm so above you

and it's plain to see

but I came to love you anyway...

So you pulled my heart out and I don't mind bleedin'

and the whole time you keep me waiting, waiting, waiting

oh oh oh oh, I got a love that keeps me waiting

oh oh, I got a love that keeps me waiting

I'm a lonely boy, I'm a lonely boy

oh oh oh oh, I got a love that keeps me waiting

Well your mama kept you

but your daddy left you

and I shoulda' done you just the same

but I came to love you, am I going to bleed?

and the whole time you keep me waiting, waiting, waiting

oh oh oh oh, I got a love that keeps me waiting

oh oh, I got a love that keeps me waiting

I'm a lonely boy, I'm a lonely boy

oh oh oh oh, I got a love that keeps me waiting

oh oh oh oh, I got a love that keeps me waiting

oh oh, I got a love that keeps me waiting

I'm a lonely boy, I'm a lonely boy

oh oh oh oh, I got a love that keeps me waiting

After a lot of consideration and alteration we have decided to change our song to THE BLACK KEYS – LONELY BOY. We first chose Friendly Fires – Blue Cassette and truly believed this was the correct song to go forward with in order to gain maximum potential marks. However after more consideration we have found that The Black Keys are a better band to go with, this is due to a lot of different factors. Firstly the people we are using in our band will be suitable to the psychical image and vocals of The Black Keys. Along with this we were struggling to find ways we could create narrative elements with Blue Cassette, this is because the lyrics have quite niche targeted ideas, however with Lonely Boy we can emphasise a feeling of isolation easily/creatively for one of the band members. Allowing the visuals to fit with the lyrics in the narrative will make the video more intriguing to watch for the audience, as long as we can keep the shots holding a variety of different angles and sizes so the audience stay involved.
