Planning for Music Video: ANALYSIS OF PIXIE LOTT VIDEO. HOW OURS WILL DIFFER.

There isn't much to analyse in Pixie Lott's music video for Use Somebody. The video is purely set in the studio, there are minor camera works used - just a few pans and zoom here and there. 
The lack of imagination used in Pixie Lotts video is a good advantage for us as we can create any idea for the music video without it being copyright. 


We plan use use much more camera work, and interesting camera angles from close ups to cut ins. We will also expiriment on a variety of editing like black & white. Since the song is pretty slow we will take Vernallis' point - the camera may move in time with the music and so we will add slow motion to some parts.
We will also use a variety of props like a guitar and a journal as well as shooting in different places, unlike Pixie Lott's video where it was only set in a recording studio. 

Before we decided on this song, I suggested to Tomi and Sophie on a Friday lesson that we all listen to it at the same time with our heads down and eyes closed, therefore with no distractions we could visualise what the music video could contain if we chose the song. When the song finished, we wrote down what we visualised ans shared it to each other. After discussing in detail of the ideas we had for the music video, we created a spider diagram which linked our thoughts together, creating a draft outcome to how we could approach the song. We felt that what we visualised was soo detailed so we agreed that Use Somebody was the one to work with.
