Location and Video Ideas
As a group we came to the decision that Skinny Love by Birdy was our final song choice. We felt that the mood and the lyrics of the song were sentimental and could be readily potrayed. We hope to do this through various shoots and different locations for example;
ON THE BEACH (local beach: Formby)
(Formby Ainsdale Beach)
We love the sandunes and sleepy shoreline as it would make the perfect location for a break up storyline narrated through the song lyrics
FLASHBACKS AT A PARTY
The first minute of this video is an indicator of the sort of "memory/flashback" appeal we want to create. Also the camera use is purposely lazy and almost out of focus achieving the drunken disasterely feel of a night out/party. We hope to achieve this through use of the camera on a tripod (where the person uses the handle and faces ut towards them and spins around so we capture and drunken dancing effect)
HAPPY MEMORIES
these photos are an indicator of the non-chalant homemade feel we want to achieve when illustrating the happier memories of the couple LOCATIONS include at fields at home and doing natural thinds like laughing and drinking cups of tea
NARRATIVE OF THE GIRL SINGING
Lyrics Interpretation
Bon Iver- Skinny love ( Covered by ‘Birdy’ )
We thought it was impor tant to get a full grasp on the actual background and meaning behind the lyrics as we feel there is an ultimate message being brought across to every song and a fundamental reason behind writing the song in the first place. We felt it was important for the whole group to grasp the meaning and theme in order to create a fitting music video that goes hand in hand.
