I have changed the idea for my music video as i was unable to get the cast.
I have had to change the people who are in my video and the locations it has been shot in.
I am now only having one person as the main artist in my video - Daniel Shillito and i am now using people from college to do the dancing. I have filmed it around the area that i live instead of using the paragon station as i needed to permission to film in there. I have used the train lines down Spring Bank West.

My animation insperation
This video by Jason Mraz gave me the idea of writing the lyrics down on paper as part of the video. Although he didn't use it as part of an animation but videoed the lyrics i thought it was a very good way of getting the audience more interested in the video and made them more of an active audience as they had to read it. The video still included a narrative with in it and you could tell that the story was that he obviously worked away as he was sending many letters through air mail. Also within this video there is no performance and you never see who the artist of the song is and you also never see the actors face what i think is very intriguing. i think it brakes many of the common music video conventions as there isn't a performer and the main focus in the video is off the lyrics.
Progress on ideas
As i have done my story board and my shooting script i have found that my video seems quite repetative in a lot of places and someoff the shots arent relivent all the time. If i am able to get the cast i would like to try and insert some performance into my video to make it look a lot more realistic and more intresting.
Performance is also a convention of a typical music video so i think that it would make it look more like a real music video.

Shooting Script
Shooting script
My first shot will be a close up of hollies shoes as she is walking through the station. It will be a still shot and at no angle. It will cut to a shot of the train in the station filming as and over the shoulder shot to see it as her point of view of the train leaving. The next continuing shot will be a front view of the train leaving going down the tracks for three seconds. It will then cut to a shot of hollies face to show her emotion, because of the train leaving, this will also be a three second shot
The next shot is a pan shot 360° around Hollie showing her position in the train station. The shot will then end on a mid-close up of hollies face, which will last 4 seconds.
The next shots are my animation that is going to be in the video. The animation will run for 20 seconds showing 5 different pictures writing the animation that are drawn on paper and get scrupled up and open out into a different image.
The next shot is dancing silhouettes while the instrumental is playing, this continues for 14seconds.
The next shot is where the narrative begins again and it is a shot of Hollie and her friends in the town walking past the shops, this last for four seconds until it then cuts to a front view of them so you are able to see them from a different angle.
The next shot is a close up of a watch to show the time as it is referenced to the song. It lasts four seconds.
I have another animation in my video what is coin building, this last four seconds and shows the coins piling up then coming back down again.
It then skips back to the narrative again where you see them sitting down for four seconds, walking through the town for four seconds. The position of the camera will be from behind them so it will look like we are following them on a tracking sequence and it will then cut to a side shot of them through the town for another four seconds.
The next cut is of 3 different people’s eyes that will be put together to make the shot last only 3 seconds of 3 different shot. The last shot it is on will be hollies eye and it will zoom out to show her face which will take 2 seconds.
There is then another shot of Hollie in the same shot but 3 times doing three different posing positions almost like a dance. This will last for four seconds.
The scene will then change back to the train station where we will see a shot of the train leaving the train station which will also be four seconds long.
It will then cut to Hollie in the train station were it will film her with a confused expression on her face and her shrugging her shoulders like she doesn’t know what to do, as this is referenced in the song lyrics.
The next clip is of Hollie dancing around the train station, I am going to put different clips together including dissolves to make it look more effective as this clip will be running for twenty five seconds.
It will then cut to a close up of a watch to show the time for four seconds and then a shot of her stood by the train watching it go. This will be an over the shoulder shot and it will last four seconds.
It will then cut again to Hollie in the train station where it will film her with a confused expression on her face and her shrugging her shoulders.
The next run of shot is shot of different people’s eyes and it will be three seconds long with three different eyes. The last eye will be hollies and it will zoom out onto her face which will take two seconds.
There is then another shot of Hollie in the same shot but 3 times doing three different posing positions and this will last for four seconds.
Again it skips back to the clip of the train leaving the platform for four seconds and Hollie watching it go for a further 4 seconds. It will then zoom out on Hollie were the next clip of her will be dancing around the train station looking happy. This clip will be 25 seconds long so I am going to use different clips and entwine them into each other with dissolves.
As the music slows in the video it will show her looking for the train and being in the train station this will last for six seconds and the next clip is a pan around her for a further six seconds. After the pan it will finish on a close up of hollies face what will last four seconds and she will begin dancing again. This time this will last for eighteen seconds as the song is coming to an end.
The final clip will be her blowing a kiss to the camera and walking off.
