What I'm Up Too...

At the moment I am making and preparing props that I need in my video. I am choosing locations and sorting out the last details so that I can begin my filming to my best ability. Photos of this preparation can be seen below.

The purpose of the large cards and the papers which say "say what" on them is that they are going to be cut out and stuck on to the big cards so that I can do the chorus of the song in the same style Bob Dylan did his whole song Subterranean Homesick Blues. This can be seen below.

Planning Video

Below is a video planning what I may do in my video. It is only basic and has a few ideas but sets and idea for what I will include.

Lyrics Analysis

In this post is a picture of the lyrics to my chosen song. They are my initial ideas on what I could perhaps do to them in my video. As it is not very clear on the picture a powerpoint presentation is also available in this post to make it more clear what my plans are.

Final Chosen Song!

Over thoughts and analysis of some other songs I chose to use the song Take What You Take by Lily Allen. This song is off her last album called Alright Still. I have chose this song as I managed to find some ideas that I could use for a video. It is lively and upbeat and I think that I could make an effective video for this song.

The analysis and ideas of the lyrics and video are to follow this post.

Permission for using this song has been sent out and I await reply, however this has been done using the MySpace page of the record label as no email address could be found on their website.

Chosen Song

I am currently thinking about my choice of song and that I should use something more upbeat and lively tahat will make the making of my video more easier and effective. I am currently analysing a few Lily Allen songs I have come across to see what ideas I could use to one of them.

Question

I posted a question on Yahoo Answers to see if I had any response that would help me with my project. I only received one answer that was not really useful but did give me some idea of what I should and should not do.

Current Work

I am currently working on planning my music video, however at the moment I am trying to gather ideas to make this successful. More will follow shortly on this!

Advantages and Disadvantages of Songs To Use.

I created a powerpoint to help me choose a song that I should use noting down advantages and disadvantages of each one. This has helped me to come to a final decision that the song I will use will be Jet-Are You Gonna Be My Girl.
