Ideas. The Music Video

The Music Video

Step By Step
At the beginning of the music video there is 34 second instrumental. In this time gap the ideas so far is to have the rapper ( Mike ) and the singer ( Storm ). Between the two of them there is going to be straight cuts of them both.


The filming is going to consist of filming storm and filming mike for 4-5 minutes in the same place. Either looking down, walking away from the camera walking towards the camera. we can then edited the film so that they fit into the slots.


Places to film
Town,
Centre by the fountains,
Steps. (sitting down)
Sat on grass
Storm led on the floor looking into the camera.
Mike stood in the door way of a run down place.
School
Studio,
On the field, by the trees.
Also on the sofas on the photography room.


We are also going to film the Storm getting hit ( not real ) and then her upset, sad, crying.
This will also be used in the instrumentals and Chorus.


The Chorus is 1-18 mins long.
this will need to include Storm as the main character because she will be singing. we think the filming of this should be of her and flash backs. i think that the editing should be straight cuts.
there is also a second intro which is 1-42 at 1-53 long.
And also a third intro which is 10 seconds long.
Mike comes in the song at 3.35 and then he finishes at 4.42.
we are going to film mike is the studio against the white and the black background we are then going to edit it by adding in different clips of him walking and sitting down rapping.


The end of the music video
The duration of the song is 5.30 mins longs.
The film is going to end with Mike & Storm at the end with mikes arm over her shoulder.
We still need to decide on a few places to film. We think that once we start doing our story boards and start filming everything will come together.

Little Young Girl - Storm Ft Genesis

This song is about a girl who gets abused. This is a very moving song and very emotional. Enjoy!
