For my music video I am using the song “Sofa” by Ed Sheeran, the theme of the video me and Oliver Burrows will be creating is one of Teenage lovers, with one (the girl) playing hard to get and how the boy is losing hope. We have decided this as these themes match the lyrics and the story being told within the song and therefore we think it very important that they be incorporated into our music video.
The way we have decided to film our music video is as followers:
The Video starts with a close-up of a man on a sofa outside, it then zooms out to reveal the sofa and the area around the sofa. This matches with the song that is called sofa and one of the first lines in the song is “When we’re resembling cutlery on the sofa” which allows the music video to link with the lyrics of the song, the next shot is a cut to him walking towards the camera; this would be a mid and wide shot. He then picks a guitar up and puts in round his neck beginning to play it, this would be a midshot. When we film we may cut this into two different midshot.
It then cuts to him sitting around a campfire playing his guitar, the camera pans round the group and then cuts to a girls face. We will clearly show that there is something going on between the singer and this girl, and will cut to a close-up of the girl’s showing the emotions on the girls face. The camera cuts again to them both are falling asleep together side by side showing them hit the ground and them closing their eyes.
The camera once again cuts to him on the floor this being a close up of his face, the camera zooms out to reveal him in a different place and the girl is not there. He then picks the guitar up off the ground and outing it around his neck, this will be a midshot of him walking off. This is showing that they are playing hard to get and that he is not sure what to do and how to act.
The camera cuts to him playing the guitar, this will me a steady midshot, linking with the chorus of the song which is more upbeat and pop-y than the rest of the song. We then see him walking off around a corner; this would be steady long shot of him walking out of frame.
It then cuts to him in a room on the sofa watching TV with the girl from earlier. This will be a two shot from behind cutting to a two shot from the side. This section links in with the lyrics of the song and the line “We’re not watching Formula I; It’s not what we breathe for, so kick off the day with Friends on T4”. It then cuts to him making tea this would be a close up mid shot sequence this also links with the lyrics in the song, “Two, boiled and brew, Two sugars ain’t too sweet for you” .
He then walks back in the room with tea for the girl and she is gone, this will be a midshot and a long shot of him walking towards the door and opening it. It then cuts to him walking around trying to find her this will me a selection of pans, close-ups and midshot for dramatic effect, this section is when the chorus plays for the second time.
It then cuts to him falling down on the ground slowly, showing he is giving up hope, this will be a section where he is moving along the ground lying down, making it look like he is hovering above the ground, this fits in with the lyrics “And it feels like I’m flying” and will be a close up and midshot as well as a long shot from the side.
When the chorus starts again, he gets up and starts walking/jogging off; this will be a close up and mid shot sequence. It then cuts with him running to the sofa which is outside and the girl sitting on it and him joining her. This will be a two shot with close ups of their faces as well.
