Video Considerations

As practise we chose to replicate a music video. When choosing the music video there were a lot of consideration take for example the scene props, costumes etc.

Blurred Lines was our first video we though of because of its simple background and props but we choose not to replicate the video purely because of the amount of actor we would need and the costumes the female actors would have to wear were very skimpy clothing or no clothing at some points. We also thought that we were more capable of producing a music video more complex.

The Man Who Cant Be Moved was our second thought because we wanted to do a complex music video and this one would of have been fine because we had no problem filming outside and in a parking lot but the only problem with this video would be towards the ends where all the public start looking at the main actor which wouldn't be so hard because they would look at us anyway but it would be hard to film them especially the police woman in the police car. We also thought that the scenario was a bit hard because Oxford does not have many big old fashion buildings like the ones in the video.

The A Team was also an option but we then thought that it would be best if we chose a music video where a actor is also singing so that we can practise lip syncing with the actual song and because this just like the story of the song we thought we look for more options.

Drop It Like It's Hot was one we looked into with great detail we were looking and already thinking about the costumes and setting and props we would need. We thought it would be easy because it a simple video with the white background and just them dancing and singing, but in the end we chose not to replicate the music video because toward the end it does get more complicated because of the scenario and the props so we thought that even though it was quite simple we would keep looking at other music videos.

Ride or Die was the last video we looked at and we thought it was a good song and a very good not too complex music video to replicate so we decide to look into detail with the video and look at the setting, costumes and props to see if we would be able to do the video and we thought that out of all the video this one was what we were looking for because it was has complicated shots we would have to lip sync the music to the video but it doesn't have to much going on in the background making it easier for us to get it the right background every time we go to do it.

We have chosen to replicate Ride or Die by Angel because we like the challenge and we think it will help us learn lip syncing and gets us used to all the different kinds of shot again.
