In our lesson we looked at some lyrics of the song called 'Life is a Gun' without hearing the song or seeing the video and we had to brainstorm what we thought our own ideas could be for our version of the song, just by looking at the lyrics.
My brainstormed ideas were this:
-Set in New York
-In the past
-The band/artist standing in the middle - long shot
-Then all around and behind a sort of war/love battle scene in a blur because of the past idea. Fast speed editing
-Time moving on..seasons
-Cold and dark
-Artist/band wearing dark clothes because of the depressive lyrics
-Repetitive
-Setting in an avenue/street
-Looking lost
-Strength, time, love, war, battle are main themes
-Undone - falling apart demonstrated in a way
-'But I'm running against my will' - Walking forward begins with the same blur around him/her/them
We then listened to the song, without the video and were asked to review our ideas and see if we'd change anything. I revised my ideas and took out the artist (as it was a male soloist) wearing dark clothes and instead pictured him wearing jeans. I took out the 'but I'm running..' and decided that throughout the whole video he would be walking around playing the guitar (the instrument I could hear). There would be a clip during the video where he was sat at a park near a river with sun, more of the seasons clips would be focused on winter (because of the reference to cold). No one would notice him or see that he existed whilst walking, and all be in black and white.
We then watched the video and decided if any of our themes were similar to that of the real one. Mine were of the black and white theme of the video, but not much else.
