Initial video idea based on song choice

When thinking about my video idea, I listen to the song, I have chosen Frank Ocean's Voodoo. The song is short and allows me to see a creative narrative piece when I listen to it. Because i've watched many different music videos I am able to get inspiration from these pieces of work. I have decided to incorporate 'good and bad' into my music video. I will have two models who are dressed in all black and all white to show the contrast of ying and yang. The story behind my music video will be that there are good and bad parts within someone's life. My models are male and female and will both lip sync (which is a convention of my music video task). Some of the lyrics I will take quite literally, for example, ''juicy fruit''- I will have my female model biting into an apple (the apple represents- the forbidden fruit that 'eve' eats which she's instructed not to eat by God) this is important because it can explain the bad aspect of the video (black). There will be candles within most of the scenes as when I think of 'Voodoo' or 'witchcraft' candles and dark atmospheric scenes come to mind. Fade to black transitions will be used throughout. The two models will embrace to show the coming together of the 'ying' and 'yang'. The emphasis is on the model in all black as the song starts with 'darker times'. The scenes will be collated in a forest when the sky is clear, this sets the scene.

  1. You have a range of interesting images in mind here, Chantelle.
    Practical detail to consider:
    - Remember that candles throw very little light and that can be problematic for filming. Atmosphere is good but your target audience need to be able to see.
