For the preliminary task we was asked to create a music video in either narrative, performance or abstract way. My group (Summer, Shelby and I) decided to do a narrative music video based on the song "Let Me Sign" by Robert Pattinson. This song also worked in our favour as it doesn't currently have a music video to go with it therefore everything we planned in our storyboard are our own ideas. Our teacher, Rebecca suggested filming in the park nearby, Chantry park so that is where our location of our music is. The group also decided that we would like a boy to be in our music video as the song is a love song between two lovers, therefore meaning we needed a lover for Summer who is also in the music video.
The group knew what kind of a boy we wanted to be the lover however finding one that fitted the match wasn't so easy! In the end our teacher, Rebecca yet again came up with another idea that we agreed with and that was to use my boyfriend Jack to be the lover in the video. Summer wasn't so keen complaining it would be awkward but with persuasion from me she agreed and Jack agreed to be in the music video. The ideas for the music video came quickly as we listened to the lyrics of the song and then came up with different ideas which fit the lyrics of the song. Such as when Robert sings "standing there by a broken tree" the location of the park came in handy as there was a tree that looked broken and twisted so we filmed that. Also the lyrics " I will wrap you in my arms" we agreed on a long hug to be shown while Robert is singing the lyrics.
The day we filmed was a windy day so the wind was effective for the music video and looks great when we watched it. Also the sky looked moody and a little bit dark that day so that also fitted in with the mood of the song so I quickly filmed that and we used that at the start of the music video.
