A2 MEDIA STUDIES MUSIC VIDEO TREATMENT


Music:

The Maccabees – Precious time – 3:55

In our video we hope to have a range of shots of high and low angles on a band playing the music. We also want to try a 360-degree shot all the way around. This will be achieved by using a series of still pictures in fluid motion.  For the lyric “lets make time work for us” we want to use stop frame animation for a clock going round to show time going by in a interesting and new way. Our video will have no real narrative to speak off but will have the band playing the song. When the band does play we want to have a blank background of white with strong and colorful lighting on them to highlight the different members of the band. Also with the shots of the lead singer singing alone is isolated with the light around him creating a stylish effect.

We want to have 5 band members in the group:

Lead Singer: Joe Eddy
Drummer: Richard Holt
Base: Jonny Bohane
Guitar: Fin Murray
Guitar: Will Jones

We also are going to try getting colorful backgrounds of the band members and adding it into comic life. We will show it as stop frame in the music video of the band each saying the word “take our precious time” so it has a comic feel to it with colors and showing the different band members. We could also show the boards themselves and make them fall down showing a different member every shot


Also inspired by other studio-based videos our video will have many short shots visually interesting but narratively not linked. For example we will use colorful paper shapes draped off of the ceiling with the band between.
