Before planning and creating and creating a storyboard out first task was to examine the original video by the Maccabees `First love` and decide what we could incorporate and identity key elements into our final product. Our overall goal is to produce a music video that audiences will be able to quickly distinguish and establish as being a Maccabees song. Next we create a list of key elements and features which we could use in our own version of the song without out directly copying the format of the video.
The list of feature/techniques we decided to include in our video are:
• Stop motion
• Random objects that have a hidden meaning
• The theme of love
• Subdued colours
• Fast paced movement which matches the tempo of the song
• Shots of the band
We thought that the video would best suit a combination between performance and narrative; however we decided that because of the confusing storyline/song we would make the majority of the video performance based with bits of a narrative structure that will empathise the relationship between the characters and the audience. The original video itself consist of quite a vague and random storyline and does follow a conventional music video in terms of performance and narrative structure.
We’re going to use a variety of camera angles however the majority of them will be close up shots and mid shots to focus on the detail but still hold the frame of the shot as well. As were are going to use a range of filming techniques such as stop motion, which is used a lot in videos by the Maccabees and indie bands in general, as well as fast motion to match the speed of tempo within the chorus region.
