We think that the best way to make this music video is to follow the narrative. The song has a strong narrative which would seem pointless to ignore. The basic idea will be to have a guy and a girl following the lines of the song (which can be found in the last post) and going to different locations to do this, E.g A beach or the seaside.
We want the video to match the pace of the music, so it will be fairly slow and also peaceful to fit in with the feel of the song. Another possible idea that we have at this time is to keep the people in the video anonymous and to not show their faces throughout the video, to create an element of mystery. This will also inspire us to have to use a lot more creative camera angels, and possibly have to film at lot of it using low angels showing the bottom half of the bodies only.
We feel that in this type of video its not particularly important to "have a lot going on" but more about how the video is made. Slow motion shots are another thing that we are considering to use, and also changing the contrast to make the whole video brighter, as we will be filming in the winter and we want the video to have a warmer feel.
When we finalise the ideas I will post again to show what we have decided to do and how we intend to make it happen.

Watsky- Live From Public Storage! Analysis
The below video is a mix of genres and so the codes, conventions and music is a combination of the types of music.
The video is a rap music video and so is done quite simply and on a low budget. The setting is the storage area that the artist keeps his belongings, this keeps with conventions because the majority of rap video's are about real life and are set in an urban or local environment to the artist.
The lyrics are about his real life and have a story, although the video alone doesn't show a narrative it helps to the lyrics.
When it comes to the artist George Watsky wears lose, baggy comfortable clothing and clearly isn't a tread/style setting musician instead choosing to focus on the musical side which is most important to him. Watsky behaves like a lot of rap artists, he keeps with the flow of the music and and doesn't add huge narrative stories to his rap music, although he has dipped into other genres and done narratives.
