DRAWING BOARD.

Choosing a definitive song is i think the hardest part.

I have once again thought of another idea,

however choosing a different song.

At first my idea was to create a music video using

either

bullet for my valentine 'END OF DAYS' OR ROOM 409

or even using Alexisonfire as a soundtrack.

I was going to use the inspiration from that dazed and confused photograph (the one with the blood and stuff)
and turn the music video into a video capture of an event gripping the school, think i am legend, and the mysteriousness of HARRY POTTER AND THE CHAMBER OF SECRETS.

you know where students just casually, mysteriously go missing, i wanted to create the same effect, though with the heavy beats of the song, i would use quick flashes of camera work highlighting the girls, caught by this monster or demon or something totally unknown 'just in the shadows'
in my sketches you can see this, i came up with the idea of adding fog to the scenes to create the illusion of something 'weird' escalating, my music video was i think swaying more towards bullet for my valentine, as the hard hitting beats would be pretty ironic with the story board.
Also i came up with ideas that within each time period particularly before the chorus (where the beats begin to rhythm cynically) i would have the flashes highlight girls draped in blood against a white wall with chains etc, and then this would connect with flashes of girls evacuating the school, and teachers talking, students sobbing, students walking past in the corrider with the lurking unsuspecting demon crawling on the floor , however the students do not notice the demon or the surrounding fog, when editing this i would DE saturate or DE colour the scene to make it a bit more gloomy and horrific.
I have however realised that with such horrific scenes , my music video would have to be shown after a 9pm time period, which is not really ideal if the band are to promote there song successfully.

keeping all this in mind, i began to go back to the 'drawing board' and scrapped some new ideas into thought.

LOOKING AT RESEARCH METHODS.

I have been constantly researching using primary and secondary sources, looking at magazines for influence, websites, other music videos, listening to a ton of tracks, and constantly writing down any quotes that may be influential.

We have for the past few lessons looked at research methods, primary and secondary research, particularly i kinda knew what these meant anyway, as its not really scientific high brain use knowledge, but its good to go over.
primary is basically your own way of researching such as questionnaires etc
and secondary is using a second research such as the Internet or magazines or books or whatever.
EASY
.

I have been researching quite a lot as this is where i get my inspiration from, without looking at other peoples work and other stuff, i don't think you could really know what you want.
also it sways me towards ideas, and enlightens me to techniques, camera shots, editing, and other stuff that i could possibly try out or consider.
