Our idea consisted of the main characer, being a boy, having a day dream of him following a 'fanatsy' girl (pretty, dressed up in big make-up) as she's luring him in, trying to chase her as she runs away. With this idea we tried to think which of the three songs that we had chosen would work best with this storyline. We concluded that Jakatta - The American Dream was the best one as the both the beat and lyrics work well with the storyline. The songs starts off all calm and mysterious like, which realates to the woman in the story. In the middle of the song the tune and pace starts to pick up, which also relates to the story when the boy is chasing the girl as its exciting and thrilling. Although so far everything seems to be working well, there we a few issues with it aswell.
Developed and Final Idea
The main problem that we thought about with our music video so far was that the storyline was too short for the song. We thought that the viewers would quickly become bored of seeing a boy continually follow a girl about the woods and that eventually we would run out of shots to do. With the shots and footage that we all had in our heads, we realised that it would only run up to about half way through the song. With this problem we had to re-evaluate the storyline and camera shots. For a start, we hadnt even really thought of an appropriate beginning to the video. We then came up with the idea of the main male chacter feeling stressed after a hard days at work leaving his working place to home. Whilst he's waiting for a train home at the station, a girl suddenly appears on the other platform dressed up in fantasy-like clothing looking seductive and fasinating. Suddenly a train goes by and the girl is gone. The male is amazed and thinks it was just his imagination as he is tired and stressed from work. At home whilst he's watching TV he can't stop thinking about this girl which then leads to him dozing off into a day dream where the main part of the video kicks in with the forest part of the storyline. However we also though to alter this slightly as we decided that whilst he's trying to find this girl he would come across these other fantasy-like girls that like to lure him in. To make the video seem more wierd and unusual, he also comes across a mother pushing her child in the pram but she is all dressed up in really fantasy like clothing so it looks unusal and like shes out of place which adds to the weird theme of the music video. He can see her and begins to study her where as she cannot see him and just goes about with her usual doings. he also comes across another similar weird scenario with two other girls dressed in more fantacy like clothing sitting on logs chatting whilst having a picnic. Once again these girls cannot see him but he can see them.
Towards the end of the video the main male character become fed up of not being able to find the girl and sits up against a tree. All of a sudden the two other fantacy like girls that try to lure him in come from behind the tree, kiss him on the tree and go back round. Then follows the main fanatsy-like girl where she then kneels down and kisses him on the lips as he's waking up from the dream.
