Final Song Choice

Disclosure - You and Me (Flume Remix)

This is my final choice of song for my music video, as I feel I will be able to produce a video, that will work well with being mainly narrative. However I will be able to add performance scenes, showing the girl singing towards the camera, so overall the final outcome of my music video will be a mixture between narrative and performance. I have decided to cut thesong shorter, as the song is 4 minutes 41 seconds, this will be too long for my video so I will cut it down to around 2 minutes 30 seconds of 3 minutes, roughly.
I also think this song will work well as it is upbeat, by can be shown as a downbeat sad song; both of these will work well with my video idea concept, as she is happy because she is travelling around America, but feels alone because her boyfriend isn't travelling with her.
I will not be using the original version of this song as the song has a video already, and I feel I might lean towards copying some of the scenes from the video. However I think the song works well with the storyline, so I have found a remix, that would work just as well, maybe even better. In the remix, there are less lyrics, so I can use my imagination more and stretch to different ideas and scenes. Also I can incorporate scenic views to work with the video to show her whereabouts during the video, or where she is travelling too.

Storyline - Girl has gone on holiday, just after breaking up with her boyfriend, everything around her reminds her of him. She misses him and regrets the break up, so is continuously thinking of him. She keeps debating on talking to him, to re-start the relationship, but all brings herself not to do it.

Shot Ideas;

• Girl looking at postcards to send to him
• Car journey - hand out the window, flowing through the air
• Travelling through the airport
• On the aeroplane
• Shot through the window on plane of the land underneath
• Landing in America - shot through the window of the plan landing
• People walking in the street around the girl
• Swimming in the ocean or pool
• Sun Bathing
• Sends him a text message or receives one from him
• Wakes up in bed stretching across to hug him
• Hugs the pillow, because she misses him
• Walking along the beach
• Scenic views
• Sat on the balcony looking at the view
• Having a drink at the bar
• People on the beach sunbathing
• People swimming
• Getting ready to go out
• Eating her meals alone
• Road Trip
• Clubbing - strobe lights

I will be shooting this video in America, as I am going on holiday to Texas, South Carolina, Tupelo Mississippi and Memphis, Tennessee. I feel these locations will work well with my song and story line as the fit with the girl travelling and missing her boyfriend.
