Brief, Martha

To create an unusual video which would stand out I feel that encompassing the best camera shots and effects is vital. Numerous music videos in the chart such as Eminem’s ‘Not Afraid’, Chris Brown's ‘Transformer’ and B.O.B’s ‘Nothing on You’ make the most of the quickly advancing digital effects and add a whole new level of interest. Without ruining our video by over-stretching our abilities and attempting an over optimistic project, I think something along the lines of a number of stills to which we add objects would work well, creating the effect of things appearing, merely by pausing the camera. Another part of my brief is that I think the video should be shot in the outdoors, taking advantage of the town in the area, also I feel that using the weather (especially rain to fit with the sad notes within the song) could create an emotive video. To keep the entire video fresh I think that we should have a multitude of sets and characters, possibly two main characters and three sets. I believe it would be a bad idea to have our actor's miming, mainly because the voices may not fit (both in time and with the actor).
