concept for 'good to love
TRANSCRIPT
Andrew Huang ‘Good To Love’
Concept
General:
We plan to start the song simple, only piano is used, with close ups of the inside of piano and
the keys, similar to the music video "Too Much" (by Sampha). When the beat finally comes in,
this is where we can introduce mouths mouthing the tune, close ups of only the mouths, and
changing mouths with every thought beat in the song. As the chorus progresses, bring in
snapshots of other ideas in between the mouths, only a few seconds long, with objects or
movements that represent the idea of love, influenced by "Happy Little Pill" (Troye Sivan) where
random images of an owl appear. Such objects are yet to be decided with the group, but will be
refined at a later date. Close ups of body parts could also be shown, such as hands touching,
but still being subtle. When the chorus dies down, with less of a beat and piano being the main
instrument, and the new verse starts, this is where we can introduce the element of stop motion,
which we can achieve through abstract use of drawing/paints or even creating figures out of clay
and create a little love story between characters. All this would still be shot in the studio, to keep
the theme similar throughout the video. Focus mainly on happy sides of relationships and love,
but still bring in aspects of melancholy and sadness, still as abstract feelings and represented in
abstract and subtle ways, again yet to confirm with the group. The verse, which is quite slow,
would be shown in the slow editing style, and when the chorus comes in stronger, the feelings
grow stronger in the actions as well, the lips sing with more passion, faster editing.
Technical elements:
The main emphasis in the video would be placed on visuals rather than narrative. Lots of time in
the studio will need to be spent on making sure framing, depth of field, and colour are set up
perfectly. We aim to create a video that combines many different elements and mediums but
manages to combine them into a cohesive whole that does not feel cluttered or crowded. We
will probably shoot the video with either a Lumix G7 or a (BIANCA’S CAMERA????) with a
macro lens, or most likely a combination of both for different shot types.
