Narrative

Music video ideas:

• Bruno Mars 'Lazy Song
• Matt Cardle 'When we collide'
• Cody Simpson 'Summer time of our love'
• Matt Cardle 'its only love'
• Olly Murs 'Dear Darlin'
• Olly Murs 'Army of two'
• Bruno Mars 'Marry you'

Out of all of these music videos we needed to make a decision to which video that we would do as our final media product. It was a hard decision as all the music videos were equally good and each of the songs were the type that we wanted. We watched each of these videos twice and then came to a decision of three which were:

• Matt Cardle 'When we Collide'
• Bruno Mars 'Lazy Song'
• Olly Murs 'Dear Darlin'

These were the songs that we believed had the most potential for the best music video. We think this because the lyrics that the songs have have the best story lines that we could act out. Also the music videos would not need a big budget to create so we would be able to afford it as well. After a lot of planning and thought we chose our song. Bruno Mars 'Lazy Song'

This song is very popular reaching number 1 in the charts for 4 weeks. This was one of the first reasons why we chose this video, we thought our video would be more popular because of the song itself. The second reason for why we chose this song is because of the lyrics. The lyrics tell a very good story line that make it easier for us to act it out and create a good media product. Another reason for why we chose the video is because of our budget. We thought this would be the easiest video to make with the budget we have because we wont have to buy any expensive props or higher out any expensive locations to film on.

As we can see from this picture we have analysed the lyrics closely allowing us to get a better feeling about the song. We will then be able to make the video better as we will understand the song and story line more.

In our video we will only need one actor, this makes things easier for us to plan and will be able to control more easily as well. We are less likely to have to not film on one day because we have an actor missing. Also in our video we are going to have only 2 locations which are the house and the field, this will allow us to get to know our surroundings and make the best shots possible. The costume and props are also available for our use at all times so we can therefore film when ever we want without needing to worry about not having any problems
