Sound

Sound:

My partner and I decided to recreate the sound of  someone walking on gravel, as we think that it would be a good way to start our music video, hearing the sound of someone walking , however not being able to see them.

An example being that at the very start of the music video for "fifth Harmony-work from home". You can hear the sound effect for some one walking , however this is only for  few seconds. 
Overall we thin that this would be the best sound effect that linked to our idea the most.

Sound is the backbone for any music video, so is really important. When editing my music video I will make sure that i adhere to Andrew Goodwin's theory, editing on the beat.   

Shot list

Shot List:

For our music video we will be using a variety of different shots to capture our characters.

• Pan 
• High angles 
• Extreme close ups
• Medium close ups
• Long shot
• Close up

We aim to use a wide range of shots , as each shot will symbolize something within the shot. Such as an exteme close up means the audience will be able to see the facial expressions on the character to know exactly what they are feeling. Another example being a pan this will allow the audience to see the characters body image as well as the different mice en scene within the shot, e.g. the scene with the flowers in the bath, we use a medium close up so you can see the facial expressions and the flowers. Overall we hope to have a variety of shots in our music video.
