The editing will be at a slow pace to match the rhythm of the song using
fades and more kinetic transitions rather than cuts. This will make the edit
feel more fluent which will fit the music better than harsh cuts.
More cuts introduced and the pace of the
editing increases as the song picks up
towards the end
As the song is slow the video may appear to be slow and
boring so I would like to incorporate multiple camera shots with
some movement in them to add more energy to the video, but I
will also have still shots using multiple camera angles and also a
large variation in shot lengths.
For the location I would like to use a large open space such as a park as this will allow me to make some wide angle and
establishing shots. For the narrative aspect of the music video I will use a much more urban environment such as a high street
as it will work well with setting the tone of the music video. And for some performance shots I will use a darkened room again
helping create the atmosphere.
The mise en scene of the video will be very dark and gloomy
however it will slowly become lighter towards the end
This will be done through using dark colours and
lighting and maybe a low saturation or black and
white.
The general idea will be based upon the title of the song which is smoke, so the video will have a very
smokey misty feel to it. The shots will be partially of the performers but there will also be cutaways to a
narrative within the video.
