In 'Dead and Gone' by T.I and featuring Justin Timberlake, the video is composed two elements. Many of the shots are of artists in a fixed location in the present day, and the remainder are flashbacks and pictures that amplify the lyrics and tell a story. The flashbacks are sometimes frozen into pictures creating a professinal effect and helping draw focus to particular parts of the flashback. You can view the video here:
We will likely break our own video down into present day and flashbacks. It is a possibility that we may use the picture freezing seen in 'Dead and gone'.
Due to the lyrics of 'Fireworks', we think that a video should be centered around a narative of a break up between the artist rapping and the one singing the chorus. We are thinking of using flashbacks to show stages of the break up with a posibility of freezing the picture as seen in the above video. The present day shots will show the rapping artist alone and walking around, deep in thought in some shots and rapping in others. A video that has a good example of someone walking around alone is 'Emily's Heart' by Jamie T. In this video we see shots of a child walking around as though doing some soul searching. Our group could look in detail at elements of the video and transfer the good aspects into our own work. The video is here:
In the video the child is walking around in the morning in a costal town. This would not fit the pace and lyrics of our video. We would likely use inner city London locations and the afternoon/evening. At some point in the video the couple will make up and we will try to use a backdrop of fireworks for this shot as it would amplify the lyrics. The song also enters with the sound of fireworks and we could make the sound diegetic.
We think that the Southbank/Hyde Park area of London would be a good place for the artist to roam. These are the kind of locations we will be looking for in various shots:
We will want the video to finish on the couple making up, this would be done idealy with a backdrop of fireworks. So, if possible, we will aim for a finishing shot along the lines of this:
