MOOD BOARD

In order to start creating ideas and visuals for my music video I began by listening to my sound track. (The link is available in my last post) Listening to the sound track enabled to form ideas in my head of images, such as naratives and performanced based scenes which could be used in my music video. I gathered these ideas on to a Mood Board. The image below shows my main mood board.

Above shows several ideas I had, such as a the music video taking plac in the forest, the clothing of the actor and some scenes which could be used. I also used 'Birdie' as an intertextual reference as her presentation in her music videos is similar to some of the ideas which I have.

My second mood board was not initially planned, however after making my first mood board I had more ideas for my music video. 

This second mood board represents the idea which I had developed of making progress. This is emphasised through footsteps and shoes, as it shows progress and moving forward. Also footsteps, tapping and dancing can be used to emphasis the beat or changes in tempo of a sound track in a music video. These ideas can be seen in Beyonce's music video 'Love On Top' where her dance moves show the beat of the song and also in the film 'Forrest Gump' where the low level shot emphasises Forrest being able to run on his own which is big turning point in his life, as it represents freedom and independence.
