Start of our planning!

So, to start the planning!

Our planning phase has started and this is the first and foremost post on our ideas so far. We've made an interactive mind-map that details songs and artists we like, music videos we like and our basic ideas etc.  I had to screen shot the mind map because when I put the entire photo on the blog, you couldn't see the writing because it was too small!! So I've screen-shotted the boxes to make it clearer to see :)

So we started off with a box saying 'songs and artists we like'. So we can take inspiration from them etc.

Then we did a box detailing what music videos we like, so we could take inspiration etc. 

Then we did a bubble showing our basic, basic ideas. These are just ideas we had for technology we could use such as Green screen, stop motion etc or just ideas we could have such as 'lots of people' etc.

We then proceeded to do a bubble that showed the pros and cons of narrative videos, concept videos and performance videos.

  

So the first one we did was narrative videos. Here are the pros:

And the cons:

And then pros and cons for:

Pros for Concept videos:

And the cons:

 And lastly, pros and cons for:

Here's the pros:

And the cons:

TAAA DAAAA!!!

So from this mind map we managed to sort out our vague ideas. They're not set in stone but we've decided to do a cross between narrative and concept just because it corresponds with our idea and we found a performance video too boring and found that audiences may not like this video as much. We also decided to scrap the 'lots of people' and 'stop motion' basic ideas because we felt that both of these would be extremely hard to incorporate into an outdoor video which is what we want. We also found the idea of lots of actors very scary and decided to stick with characters that audiences can possibly identify with and relate to.

More research and planning to follow! :)
