Music Video Initial Ideas

Our first choice: Jack Johnson - Sitting, Waiting, Wishing

This song is the one that stood out to us the most for the soft and easy listening atmosphere that it gives. We feel that the ideas would be most creative and experimental approach to the music video task. We also feel that it allows us to experiment with some new ideas.

We would play the artist as a character busking in a very busy city, as the song is about a past relationship he would be reminiscing on the 'old times' and trying to take his mind off of it with the culture of a town area and by singing to pretty girls who pass by.

We would often switch to a flashback of the artist and his previous girlfriend together, using a documentary through their relationship. We would use footage from different locations and at different times.  We would do a range of flashbacks showing different emotions. At one point she would be in the apartment with her friends laughing and having a good time, he would be shown as isolated and would eventually walk out with his guitar in his hand without the girl realizing. We also had an idea of a flashback of the artist walking past the girl and he would be shown really eager and wanting to stop and speak where as she would be in a rush and just walk straight by him without a second look.

During the chorus when he sings about waiting on this girl, we would show a montage of the artist on a chair/sofa but changing different positions, for example moving from laying down to sitting up etc. This would be to show how long he was waiting and his uncomfortable emotions. This location would be at the characters house/apartment.


Location:
For the main part of the music video we will probably shoot the main character busking in either a London station or maybe in cambridge town. The second location that we will use is maybe the main characters house and different locations in the countryside.

Costumes:
The main character would be wearing casual clothing, probably jeans and a t-shirt, possibly a straw hat and some comfy shoes. This would give a laid back and casual feel which relates to the style and pace of the song.

The girlfriend would be wearing a pair of skinny jeans with a nice top and heels on, with her hair straightened to show a girl who is out of his league.

The other girl would be wearing more similar clothing to him, she would be wearing a loose top with some summery shorts and some flip flops, with loose curls in her long hair. This can link to the genre as it shows her wearing more relaxed clothing to suit both the artist and the genre of music he likes.

Our target audience will be young adults and teenagers, as the music is easy listening and quite chilled out. It wouldn't be that appropriate for a older target audience.


Our second choice: We're From Barcelona

For this idea we thought that a scene with a close group of friends having a picnic would be really fun and energetic like the genre, sound and feel of the music. The location would be a field


Everybody knows
