LYRICS ANALYSIS
We printed out a copy of the lyrics to our chosen song and underlined and generally brain stormed potential links, meanings and actions that could be taken and used in reference to words in the music video we create. Therefore we colour coded potential locations, significant words, actions and props.

MUSIC VIDEO
After researching into numerous music videos from the indie genre and looking into narrative structures, performance and illustrative based videos, we have decided that we want to make our music video both performance and narrative based. This is a common convention used within indie music videos, with both aspects filmed in very contrasting locations making the music video a lot more interesting and watchable.
POLAROIDS
Another idea for our music video was the use of polaroids. Polaroids instantly are related to old cameras, and the actual photos give of a real vintage feel to them and it is very common in indie videos to follow a theme of a vintage/retro feel or looking footage. The video below shows the use of polaroids along with the use of stop motion.
The Streets music video to 'Fit But Don't You Know It' uses the technique of polaroid pictures with moving footage inside the frames. This effect is one that we as a group are interested in using as it produces an interesting video. They have effectively used this technique, making the only moving part of the photo the singer singing.
MUSIC VIDEO TECHNIQUES.. STOP MOTION
As indie videos try to steer away from conventional music videos we wanted to look into different editing techniques that would make our video stand out and be different. Stop motion creates a really interesting effect on footage, it is essentially the manipulation of photos or footage during the editing process. It is an animation technique that can create the impression that objects are appearing or disappearing .
Above is an example of a music video that uses stop motion throughout.
After researching this I watched music videos that I had previously seen many times and noticed there was use of stop motion in some, for example M.I.A - Paper Planes uses stop motion when there is a close up on the till with money appearing one at a time.
