Choreography for the Music video

I chose this choreography video as it can be used in our music video to make it look appealing. We thought that having a little more movement and structured routine would add impact and make our music video a little more interesting. As well as just using different shots for words this would have to be different and aesthetic. It is hip hop so I think that it can go well with the music.

Synopsis and Justification

Synopsis

We chose to do Audio by LSD, as our featured song. The video is about letting go and having fun. There is no specific message that implies in any way, the music video just shows the positive aspects of life and having it all. This music video should be able to make people happy and laugh. We have added aspects of comedy into it, but there is no storyline. The music video is mainly about how the song doesn't have audio at the start, but in the end, when they find their beat the song makes sense again. We also have a small aspect of the rest of the world and the problems other people are facing, so we show a bit of protest. But then back to having people (us) having fun and how our diverse culture doesn’t impact our friendship. In the end, we are trying to convey the small message of that we can be one even if we are from diverse cultures and that we stand out from the rest of the world. How we can remember small friendships and relationships even in times of crisis. That we need to stand together and put our differences aside.

Justification

The type of clips we plan to add will be our own clips that we recorded and specific clips from movies and YouTube. The videos taken from YouTube would be a protest or troubled videos of the world, to prove our point that we are diverse. We are also using scenes from the old Superman movies for the part in the song where it says like superman. There isn’t an overall message to the music video but there will be a small clip that has a political message in the music video. It also means that we as a group of diverse individuals have come together and maintained our friendship why can’t the world find its own “audio”. The feel for the music video is meant to be a fun music video not taking it too seriously. For our camera work, we plan to do a lot of planning. We will switch the light colors for different effects. We will use some animations in the music video. We will be using lights for our star’s part of the music video where will need to make the night look magical so lighting will be used to highlight the people and the stars bottle. We will be using an FT-E camera (2) sigma. With LED lights and a tripod for balanced video. Also be using the song as our guide so the lyrics are what we are filming so when it says we got the ride (we have a bike), and when it says we got the night (we are outside in front of the stars) “we couldn’t get any sound to come out of the mixing board in the studio, it took three engineers and the whole time Sia and lab were singing about how we don’t have audio, once we got it, the song made sense.” This was a quote from Diplo one of the artists in this song. For our visuals, we plan to have each shot match with the lyrics. We will not be adding additional sound. At the start of the song it has a slow pace but becomes more upbeat during the chorus but the pace slows by the end of the song. There are not many written codes in the music video except for the title and the name of the group singing the song. There won't be any symbols in the music video because all of our shots will have to do with the lyric so shot will be very obvious. We plan to repeat clips during the chorus mixing the clips together. For our settings, we plan to film in various places such the beach, lake. golf course, broad walk. We plan to use a lot of props such as glass bottles with lights in them, beetroot, bath bombs, lighter, bikes, trampoline, and glitter. For our costume we are using a Superman shirt for one shot and also a star costume for another shot but for the rest of the video we plan to just wear casual clothes. The clips of Superman, someone dressed in the star costume would appeal to a younger audience. Also the fact that this is about teen friends of a diverse culture trying to make a difference and having fun.
