Planning: Analysis of three music videos

We haven't exactly planned out our videos and its content, however, we do have some sort of ideas. There are particular things/parts from certain music videos we would like to incorporate somehow in our own work. 




Bob Dylan - Subterranean Homesick Blues 
This music video actually consists solely on this one guy with lots of white cards with lyrics written on them. He basically just throws the white card on the floor as the lyrics that are on the card are sung. 
We thought that possibly we could have a the chorus on card and get many different people to hold it, and get the perfect framing, so that all the people stand in the same spot and have the same amount of space all around them.





The Streets- Fit but don't you know it
We liked the idea of holding white card with lyrics on it but I also thought that maybe we could have photographs like this artist does in his music video. 
Because she is also singing about her and someone else (presumably a guy), we could have pictures of them together (without looking to clique or cheesy). I think this is a way of telling a story through three ways; the song, the pictures (that she would be holding in her video), and the video itself. 
 




Ellie Goulding- Your Song
Well this song was the one we wanted to do at first, but after having thoroughly thought about it we decided it would be best to go for another song knowing how big this song actually is (originally sang by Elton John, and covered by Ellie Goulding, and both of them having done a music video for it). We wanted to incorporate warm colours and forest-like surroundings.
