All my locations are inter-textually linked with each other for example, a photo studio, a theater and a recording studio are all entertainment/show-business locations. The concept of my video is to capture the day-to-day activities and jobs a music artist goes through on a daily basis. These include doing photo shoots for album covers, magazine articles, endorsements and also for advertising.
The most important job of the day for an artist is recording. Pop stars are recording artists, they record singles and albums then distribute them to the public. I liked the idea of including the recording of the song in my video as it gives the audience a 'raw' experience. They are allowed to witness how the production of the song which i feel is important because we as an audience are used to seeing music videos with a narrative. I feel my video will give the audience a new outlook on music videos.
Another location for my video is the theater. The theater is the most conventional location for my genre. Having researched other existing pop rock music videos i found they all contain a scene with a band performance. I will be filming the band performance in the theater as it will create the illusion of a performance. Although, the artist will be performing (lip syncing) throughout the video, the theater scene will create the feeling that the artist is on a stage performing to an audience.
And my final location is the green room however, i am undecided whether I would like to use the green room to film. In the original video of 'Heart Attack' special effects have been used which gives the video an updated look however, because the concept of my video is behind-the-scenes i feel it would defeat the purpose as special effects would make the video artificial and unnatural. Whereas I am trying to create a video which is 'real', 'natural' and 'raw'.
I am fortunate enough that my college has the facilities to provide for my ideas. The college has all the locations listed above however, some complications and set backs will occur. My first set back and hopefully the only one, is that the theater is booked until January. This means that i will have to begin filming and create a first draft with a huge part of the video missing. It also means that i have less time to edit the final product.
