Music videos are not created simply on a whim. They require careful preparation, creative planning and foresight, and my video is no exception. Taking into consideration my resources and time to produce this, I have come up with a few different ideas for my music video.
1. My first choice would be to use one of the songs a friend of mine has made to use for my video. His band, Asoflate, makes really good indie type music that is very well produced and musically executed and I would love to do a video for him. This wouldn't be the first time I have worked with his material. I made a 30 second
kinetic typography video for him last semester so a music video would probably be something he would be excited about. The only problem here is that he lives all the way in Texas and would obviously not be able to appear in the video so it would have to be a story driven video without the musician present.
2. For this idea, I would shoot a music video to one of my sister's original compositions. She plays the acoustic guitar and sings, so getting footage should be quite simple since I wouldn't have to drag a whole band around everywhere. It's also a plus since we live in the same house, so again, I have that convenience of shooting almost anytime I want.
As for as specific ideas go, I really don't have one. I'm a big fan of developing a general story line and story board for a project, but as for as things like camera angles, editing and location of the shoot, I usually figure out as I go and let the ideas just come to me. Sometimes I find trying to sit down and concentrate on all the elements tends to stifle my creativity. I now devote half of of my creative energy to my impulsive intuition and the other half to strategic planning and coordination and we'll see how it goes from there.
