Production Example 1

As I am doing a music video, I felt that it would be necessary to look for some music videos that are similar to what I am doing and see if I can take some of the ideas they use and implement them into my production.

Firstly I looked at one of the bands that may provide the music for my production, Against the Current. They are a relatively new band who have only made 3 original music videos but their video for the song "Another You, Another Way" captures the same sort of ideas that I want to include in my production. The video is based around a boy and girl such as mine and involves the girl looking back on all the good times she spent with the boy, which again is just like my idea. The video is very clever in the use of photos when the video shows band performances and it also shows various different events that happen between the boy and girl which I would consider using such as the firework scene.

There is one main drawback to the music video however and this is that it is mostly filmed in the summer and with the time frame I have to produce my music video, it will be very difficult to have the same sort of weather and to perform the same sort of activities. It would also have an effect on the lighting and the general mood of the video.
