Initial Planning Ideas

1) After considering the resources that are available to me, one of the ideas I have is to use my friend's band 'Tyrnats'. They have recorded 3 songs so far, therefore I will analyse the lyrics to each song as well as looking into which one is the most diverse to help me pick which one I would like to use.
If I was to go with this idea, I would make my music video a narrative video with some live performance throughout as the song builds. The narrative would depend on the song that I choose but I would probably decide to have a more metaphorical narrative rather than one that is a direct reflection of the lyrics as I think it would show more creativity and imagination as well as making the video more interesting to watch.

2) I also have back-up ideas, one of which would be to use Mariah Carey's 'Emotions' or Christina Perri's 'A thousand years' and have a video with a 1930's Old Hollywood, glamour music video of a singer performing the song all in black and white.
In order to create this theme I would need to use an old microphone and have my performer in a long gown with pearls and feathers in order to immitate actresses such as Elizabeth Taylor and Marilyn Monroe. I would also show clips of old films through super-imposing them onto old film posters or photographs as the actress sits in her bedroom and reminisces on a past love.

The actress would be sitting at her dressing table with her elbow resting on the table and her face resting on her hand. She would then go for a walk through her room and photographs, movie posters and things like tickets would remind her of her love, then the shot would cut to a clip of her and her lover experiencing things like going to the cinema or having a picnic etc.
