I annotated the words of the song so that we could make sense of it within our music video. This gave us a greater idea on what we should include and of what they storyline should include and it also helped us with organising what camera shots we needed for it to look realistic but also connect with the lyrics. We found that the song had some strong meanings behind it, this was interesting for us and helped us plan a storyline that would shock and interest the audience. Some of the lyrics included 'Your my everything' meaning someone is telling them how much they care and love someone. It also had 'It isn't the shit in my head' meaning the person they are with have problems with them thinking they are cheating, which is wrecking the relationship. From the information we have gained from analysing what the song is about we have made a storyline of the main character being with a guy and slowly he distances and cheats on her she finds out and just moves on like most girls should do. This also makes the artist more realistic for her going through normal troubles of a girl.
We also from this saw what camera shots we could use with the pace of the song, we come to the agreement that we would use a repeat shot when words have been repeated, so that there is a connection between visuals and lyrics. When the lyrics are more dark or upsetting 'Pulling me under this time' we have decided to make it so that we will have high angles making her seem more upset and weak this is a conventional thing to do. When she is singing about how much she loves him we will have static angles so that they seem happy and equal and on the same level. As the song progresses the music gets more faster so we will have to change the camera shots more often, making all different angles when we have low angles she is happy and she is partying. Also we have made higher angles when she is crying and she in the bath because she is angry/sad.
This post demonstrates basic planning techniques and this is because you have not been specific about what micro elements you wish to include within your music video, where it will be evident, the effect it will have and how it will enable your audience to build a relationship with your artist. This is because you have included an overview of your music video and have not been specific.
