Bricolage

Three main influences for our music video:

Flickr:
Flickr is an online site where unknown photographers upload their photographs on the site for all to see, its a way of gaining publicity and also to get their photographs well known. From October 2009 the site hosted over 4 billion images.

We liked the effect created of the sun shining in the background and the couple walking through the long grass holding hands, we thought this looks really good and wanted to create something along the same lines as this. We also like the grainy effect that the picture had.

> At the s
tart of our music video we wanted to show a POV shot of some one opening a scrapbook. They would flick through the pages until they find a picture of a boy and girl running though long grass in a field. We wanted the scrapbook to look old and full of memories, something like the book in the picture to the left.

> Half way thro
ugh our music video the boy turns up at the girls house, we wanted the cottage to look almost picturesque, with a dirt path and surronded by wild flowers. We want the cottage to have style and character, but also fit in with style of our music video. Overall, when we found this picture on Flickr we knew we wanted something along the lines of the cottage pictured.

DrawPictures:
DrawPictures is a website where lots of visionary directors, writers artists and producers work together to create all types of visual media, this visual media is then uploaded onto the site for all to see. The site hosts different kinds of video genres, from commercial to journalistic content. The site explores new ways to integrate
and market cinematic entertainment.
There was one particular video by an editor called 'GoodTimes', we looked at some of their video's and came across a music video for a song called 'Can't Stop Moving' by Sonny Jim, when we came across this fun loving video my we (my group) knew that we wanted to gain the same kind of effect that this particular video used. We liked the grainy effect the video had, we thought this gave the video a really nice sun kissed look. We liked how the video was filmed next to a big ugly block of flats but the video still looked really good and professional despite this.

The Feeling:
The feeling were one of our main influ
ences, mainly because they sung the song we were making a music video for, we tried to base our video on some of The Feeling's previous video's. We liked parts of the 'Join With Us' video and we tried to replicate the scene where the band is running through long grass doing cartwheels and hand stands.

- These two pictures are clips from The Feelings 'Join With US' music video, this is the effect that we want to create. A grainy effect with the band running through long grass messing around. This will contrast well with Ben and Lilly's troubled relationship.
