HALF TERM UPDATE & Valentines Day!

As today is Valentine's Day, there have been many romantic love songs (of many genres, predominantly romance/pop) played on TV channels, as well as the radio. One video that caught my attention was the "Avril Lavigne - Girlfriend" video, in which there are scenes from a photo booth. It acted as a filler, through sequences of music where there were no lyrics and during the chorus.

Here is a still image taken from the video:

 

On viewing this video, I gained some inspiration for our video, this I quickly shared with my group and a joint decision was made that this would be very appropriate for our music video.

The ideology is as follows:

Bruno Mars and the love interest, played by actors in the video, will enter a photo booth that will be a home made set, and will appear to be having their photos taken. As shown above, the actors will smile, perhaps laugh, kiss, pull faces etc. I feel that this will act as a filler in our video, as well as portraying the relationship of the two, which follows the narrative of the song itself.


UPDATE:

Over half term, there were various issues with the other groups about allocated times with the video camera and equipment, and due to the fact that our group received the equipment late, our filming was delayed. We overcame this problem however by compromising and moving our date to the Sunday, whereby a majority of our filming was complete, including the new idea that was proposed above.
