Analysing Death of a Bachelor Music Video

What this means for my work:

1. Location; locations will have to be picked to reflect the music. It will have to relate to the lyrics or music. With the songs that we currently have in mind it shouldn't be too hard to do. I don't think well have access to a stage like this but the space is definitely somewhere to film the performance parts of the video as it is a stage. Over video also would be purely performance based so there would have to be location changes for the story.
2. Props will also have to fit the themes and conventions of the rock genre. We obviously can't use alcohol and cigarettes as we aren't old enough to purchase them. A microphone and instruments can be easily obtained as one of the group members own many instruments as well as doing music. College have also said that we can borrow microphones if we need them. 
3. I don't think we will go for the full formal attire for our products. More simple rock style clothing like graphic t-shirts, skinny jeans and boots will probably be what we go with as the people we use in the video might not have access to formal clothing and buying this like that can be quite expensive.
4. Looking at the range of shots here and the work we did in the music video work shot, we will probably need to use equipment like the track so we can have shots that move with the artist. The fig rig would also be an important part of filming as we would be able to move in and around the people performing. It would allow us to get a number of different shots and be creative with what we film.
5. This video contains around 200 shots all from different angels around the room. As this is a professional video it contains more shots then i would probably be able to achieve so realistically we would he aiming for around 150 - 200 shots. We would have to film in more then one location and have multiple costume changes so the time we have to film wouldn't allow us to film as much as the director of this video did in his one location. 
6. For the song we might do we would have to have probably 2-3 performers o make it look authentic. Although having the one performer works well in this video, it wouldn't be realistic to only have one within our video especially as the song we do will be a band song. 
7. With the narrative that we do we will have to think about the way we represent people as I don't yet know what song we will do I cannot say what these representation will be but I aim to keep them real and as normalised as possible.
8. The lyrics and visuals will have to be linked if we want to make a clear piece. 
9. From this video i have learn the importance of the music relating to the visuals. The lighting in this video changes with the pitch or tone of the video which is something that i like a lot. I want to do something that allows me to incorporate this into the final product. The editing pace also changes with the pace of the song which is also something that I really like about it. I will definitely be doing this with the song that we choose in the end.
10. Lastly I think it will be really beneficial if we can get a real band to perform in the video that we do as it will make the whole thing look more authentic. It will make directions easier as the band will hopefully be accustomed to performing. However we will have to come up with an alternative if we can't do this.
