Filming Locations

Recently i have been looking at possible locations for my music video. As i am going to use the subject of 'landing' it will involve people coming and going from different places and it will be good to shoot from popular tourist arrivial points such as Norwich bus station, train station and airport.

Rough Story Board for my music video

My idea for the music video is to show people ‘landing’. It shows people coming and going. Shots can include for example, people getting on and off buses, coming and going off trains and getting on flights. These different images can be shot at the bus station, the train station and Norwich airport. There can also be a sense of ‘coming back down to earth’, such as people breaking up.

Lyrics Of The Song

We'd hit the bottom,
I thought it was my fault
And in a way I guess it was
I'm just now finding out
What it was all about

Moved to the west coast away from everyone
She never told me that you called
Back when I was still, I was still in love

Till I opened my eyes and walked out the door
And the clouds came tumbling down
And it's bye-bye, goodbye, I tried
And I twisted it wrong just to make it right
Had to leave myself behind
I've been flying high all night
So come pick me up...I've landed

The daily dramas she made from nothing
So nothing ever made them right
She liked to push me and talk me back down
Until I believed I was the crazy one,
and in a way
I guess I was...

But I opened my eyes and walked out the door
And the clouds came tumbling down
And it's bye-bye, goodbye I tried
Treading a sea of a troubled mind
Had to leave myself behind
Singing bye-bye, goodbye I tried

If you wrote me off I'd understand it
Because I've been on some other planet
So come pick me up...
I've landed

And you will be so
happy to know
I've come alone,
it's over

But I opened my eyes and walked out the door
And the clouds came tumbling down
And it's by my goodbye I tried
Down comes the reign of the telephone czar
It's OK to call
Now I'll answer for myself

Come pick me up,
...I've landed

Audince Research Questions

1. What do you look for in a music video?
2. What do you believe makes a good video?

MTV

On August 1, 1981, at 12:01 a.m., MTV: Music Television launched with the words "Ladies and gentlemen, rock and roll," spoken by John Lack. The first music video shown on MTV was "Video Killed the Radio Star" by The Buggles and the second video shown was Pat Benatar's "You Better Run."

In the beginning, MTV had a profound impact on the music industry and popular culture. Slogans such as "I want my MTV" and "MTV is here" became embedded in public thought, the concept of the VJ was popularized, the idea of a dedicated video-based outlet for music was introduced, and both artists and fans found a central location for music events, news, and promotion. MTV has also been referenced countless times in popular culture by musicians, other TV channels and shows, films, and books.

Things I Now need to work on:

1. Give information on the song Landed which i'm doing for my music video
2. Produce a story board
3. Get my audience research uploaded onto my blog
4. Conduct rsearch and analysis for the actual 'story' in my video
