i have given it much consideration on where to have my location for my music video and i have come to the conclusion to have it outside. because of the erie, unusualness of the song it would fit perfectly to have the first seen in my back garden and edit it to make the grass really green and the sky really blue to show that upon first look, like the song that it looks happy, but when you look closely it is an unhappy place. for my second scene i will need to location and one of them will be filmed in the field behind my house because it needs to show sadness and if i film my video here on a gloomy day it will show the sadness i need to portray. this field is also good for this because it looks a bit messy and i need to show messiness in this part of the song, it also has trees which is important for my video. i still need to consider where the other location will be for the second scene and i also need to think what my final scene location will be. i also need to take photos of these locations to show what they look like and if they look good for the part.

now i have got a basic outline of my story i can now think of a setting of where would be most suitable to shoot my music video. considering my music video is based on domestic issues then it would more thank likely look the bets if it was shot in a house to make it look authentic, i will think more about the place it can be in because a house is not deffinate yet because my song is an unusual song i would like an unusual setting but i am not sure if it would work.

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see.

Ignorance, sleeping, cant see whats happening- break up- she could be doing things for him and he isn’t noticing - both people are wearing masks.

Its getting hard to be someone but it all works out.

Finding hard to be themselves but being optimistic about the situation(woman).

It doesn’t matter much to me

Cause of break up – man not caring what is happening.

No one I think is in my tree, I mean it must be high or low

Woman leaving (picking up suitcase) contrasts between how the man is dealing with it and the woman.

That is you cant you know tune in but its alright, that is I think its not too bad.

Cant focus – going crazy – mans house is a mess – spinning around mans house, stops on woman and she is happy.

Let me take you down cause im going to, strawberry fields,

Man is crying- canted angle to show everything isn’t right.

Nothing is real and nothing to get hung about.

Gets knife out- shows him killing his self but in a suggestive way.

Strawberry fields forever.

Him lying on floor, lots of still shots of a red blanket getting bigger to show spillage of blood.

Always know sometimes think its me, but you know I know when it’s a dream.

Wakes up was a dream – relief – masks are off now.

I think I know of thee, ah yes but its all wrong

Him cuddling her realises his identity – who he really wants to be.

That is I think I disagree

She rolls over and both smile.

cut out last chorus but put in strawberry fields forever and have heart growing instead of blood growing.



this is a brief story line of what is going to happen in my video, it doesnt say what shots or setting i am going to use because i have not decided fully what they are going to be. the words in black are the lyrics and the words in red are my brief description.

Setting

judging by the name of the song it would be suited to mainly be in a grassy kind of setting and it sounds happy so i would haver lots of bright things and objects in, but i could change that around and use strawberry fields as a metaphor for something else, like strawberries are red and so is blood and it could be a war field, but it would be hard to create such a large scale thing. i think to further pick a setting i need to decide what i want the videos story line to be like so i need to consider this.

Target Audience

my target audience is an alternative rock fan. my song choice is an anthology version of Strawberry Fields Forever by The Beatles which is a psychedelic song so i want to make an avid video for a Beatles fan and alternative rock. i think my target audience would like the video to be kind of like a story so it is like watching a short film while listening to a strange song. it is hard to have a defined target audience for this song and it video because all sorts of groups of people like the Beatles, but it makes it easier with the song choice because it is not like a rock n roll Beatles song so i need to aim at the hippie kind of people in the world, so to meet my target audience's needs i will need to include bright colours and destinguished, bold, symbolic images to capture there imagination.

first of all i need to choose a song for me to use before i start planning, but i am not sure yet what song i want to use so i need to create a list of songs for me to choose from. my first list was;



'Let it Be' by The Beatles

'A Day in The Life' by The Beatles

'I Me Mine' by The beatles

'Blackbird' by The Beatles

'Its Only Love' by The Bealtes

'Happiness is A Warm Gun' by The Beatles

'Strawberry Fields Forever' by The Beatles

'Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds' by The Beatles

'Fistful of Love' by Antony & The Johnsons

'Man Is The Baby' by Antony & The Johnsons

'Dont Let Me Be Misunderstood' by The Animals

'All Along The Watchtower' by Bob Dylan

'Green Onions' by Booker T. & The MG's

'Run' by Gnarls Barkley

'Whole Lotta Love' by Led Zeppelin









and now i have decided what song i want to use which is going to be ' Strawberry Fields Forever ' by The Beatles, but first i am going to have to ask if i can use this song.
