Ideas, Ideas, Ideas

Teen Wolf Montage

I found this whilst looking on Youtube at other clips of water footage. Although I have never watched this programme, I thought that some of the scenes were useful for working out what to incorporate into my video next. For example, the scene when the male and female characters are being pushed into the bath without any real struggle was very interesting. I thought that this was a good idea for my music video as the representation of almost willingly being "drowned" highlights the message of my abstract first draft and plan to try and incorporate it into my next film shoot. There are various other scenes, such as the shattered glass (looking at reflections) - almost as if he was looking in the past. This is when I had my second idea for my music video...

Second Idea

If I take the idea of the past, I could cleverly portray flashbacks within my video. I thought it would be a good idea to dig out some old-footage of me, my sister and brother when we were children. Therefore, the video would be more about a reflection of the subject's life. Not necessarily that she wants to drown herself, more like she is engrossed with growing up and making decisions and taking that step into the next part of her life. Pretty much what I am feeling/going through at the moment - and therefore makes it personal to me and thus ensures that whoever may watch it, would feel connected in different ways. These shots that I plan to incorporate would be in Black and White - to show the contrast and also make the video less linear and literal.
