Music Video Ideas

We are thinking about filming our music video in Brighton along the beach and the pier because we think this is a good location to fit with our ideas. Our ideas involve an old couple reversing into a young couple so a reverse in time and maybe even a flashback. An example of this is Jason Derulo's video of 'What If'. However there is a limitation with this because it would then be introducing different time periods and this was what limited us in our first year of media.


Jason Derulo's video of 'What If'


We believe that the song is about the girl feeling like she is a teenager again because it is her first love and everything she wanted as a teenager hence the song title 'Teenage Dreams'. We are thinking of using a split screen of the girl looking at the boy and the boy looking at the girl. We also want this to show 'love at first sight'.

We also thought the girl could be dreaming about what is happening in the video we had ideas that we would film on the pier maybe on some rides. We also thought to show the romance that we would show him winning her a toy.

For the performance part we would like the girl to lip sync and dance around her room just singing into a brush maybe. Then we might have her looking in the mirror or jumping on her bed and maybe her brother walking in and laughing at her.

We have three possible endings to our music video:
1.Is a cliffhanger of him just walking towards her
2.Him walking towards her and he has a girlfriend walking towards him
3.Him walking towards her and looking as if he is looking at her and smiling when in fact he is looking at a girl behind her who is his girlfriend. Then the girl just looks upset because she thought he was smiling at her.

We like the sound of all these ideas and have not yet decided which one to use, so we may end up filming all the endings to see which one we would prefer to use. We may like the ideas now but then they could look different when we film them, which is why we think it will be good to film all three endings.
