Pliminary Task

I have been told to create a music video for the song 'F-word - Baby Bird'. It has to be a walking/dancing video with different people appearing in it. The video should have the running theme of young students saying "F**K EDUCATION!". The video should be as realistic as possible, but give the song title song a connection with disaffected youth.

I first decided to take a look at the original video for interest on what there theme was and how i might be able to make it different and hopefully better.

Then with in my group we came up with several ideas which follow the concept. We thought it would be a good idea to have a few shoots of a burning tie or burning a whole school uniform. We then noticed that we couldn't do this because none of us would be able to get hold of uniform we would be allowed to burn. We then had an idea of one student walking down one of the corridors within the college and as they passed the class rooms students would join them and as they joined they would all be throwing papers and making a riot. We then couldn't do this because we couldn't get enough students and classes empty for students to come from. we also realised that this would create to much mess. We then thought of doing a class room were everyone is bored and then start causing havoc and the teacher would become stressed then the students would start to bully them. We also had trouble with this idea because we couldn't find a class room and enough students for a class. Then the idea of a food fight in the canteen came up. We yet again had problems with this idea because it would case to much mess and to find students to be willing to get their clothes dirty. There was also the idea of a few shoots like students locking their teacher out of the room, burning work sheets and book and a student being told of by the head teacher.

We then came up with the idea of filming a few boys who go against the rules in college. I also decided to film a couple of students saying the phrase in an aggressive manor.

When editing the project i noticed that there was a lot of filming that i couldn't use because they either didn't go with the look i was looking for, they had mistakes or was a repeat of what i already had. Whilst editing i was having trouble because i kept think that it was a film instead of a music video so i was putting clips together in order and with the extra shoots finding it hard where to put them. I then decided to look at a few music videos to see how they put their shoots together. I noticed that many just put them when they heard a change in the music and then went back to the story they were telling.
