PLAY THE SONG

1) Listening to this song, what ideas come into your head what would your own music video consist off if you had to make one to this song?

2) What do you imagine the main character to look like? What colours she would wear? What costumes? Also why do you think she would look like this?

PITCH IDEA- TALK ABOUT DIFF LOCATIONS AND CLOTHING, GETTING REACTIONS

3) So this is our idea, what do you think of it and do you think it actually fits the song? Can you imagine this idea actually happening? If you do not then why not? 

PLAY RUDIMENTAL SONG

4) Looking at this song, you can see that it has a documentary feel to it, and that's what we want to do as we are filming people's genuine reactions therefore nothing is staged. What do you actually think of this video? What aspects do you like about it? Do you think we could successfully do this documentary style in our video? If you can think of any difficulties what are they?

PLAY NICKY ROMERO SONG

EXPLAIN MEANING OF CONCEPTUAL- BASICALLY RANDOM, IT IS INCONGRUOUS

5) This song has the same sort of idea we are trying to portray; it contains random people dancing with each other. Do you think something of this conceptual style would fit our song choice? Can you imagine us walking in different clothes getting peoples reaction and just generally being a bit surreal, a bit out there? If not then why? 

6) If you had to film this video using our idea, so walk around getting random peoples' reactions; where would you suggest filming? Do you have any locations in mind? With the locations you have said why do you suggest these locations? 

AFTER THEY HAVE ANSWERED TELL THEM WHAT LOCATIONS WE HAVE THOUGHT OF AND SEE WHAT THEY THINK OF THEM (ON A ROOF, WINTER WONDERLAND ETC.) 

PLAY SNIPPETS OF THE SONG AS THEY ARE TOO LONG

7) Looking at parts of these songs do you think these sorta effects would work in our video? There is the effects of reversing the actual video and the effects of changing the visuals of the video. If you think they would work where do you think we could incorporate it? If you don't think we can use the effects then why not? 

EXPLAIN HOW WE WERE GONNA USE THE REVERSE ONE BY MAKING THE MAIN CHARACTER WALK FORWARDS BUT PEOPLE IN THE BACKGROUND ARE MOVING BACKWARDS

8) This work is from past students that were in our school, do you think our idea is too similar to theirs? If so how can we change it up to make it different? If it's not then how is our idea different? 

9) Looking at this image, what would you change about it to make it fit? 

MAKE THEM TALK ABOUT COSTUMES (WHAT COLOURS, WHAT CLOTHES) LOCATIONS (MORE BUSY OR NOT) WHAT SORT OF GESTURES (DANCES, DIFFERENT WALKS) ETC.

10) What is your favourite music video and why? Try and give a lot of detail if possible.
