PLANNING:AMATEUR v. PROFESSIONAL

In this post I will explain how One Republic's "Good Life" music video has inspired us.









In the music video, the band performance is taken place outdoor, and we really like this approach as it gives a free and spacious feeling. Therefore we decided for our band performance scenes will be taken place at the back of the school car park, which is similar to the scenes in the original music video ( see pictures below)



















In the music video, the 'scene within scene' approach is consistently being used. This creates a very interesting effect and it seems like the people are spreading the message within the song around the world. In our music video we would like to use a similar approach, as a transition method. Since mobile phone is a device that is essential to us and it helps pulling people closer, therefore we will try and key the moving band performance on the phone screen and zoom into it or zooming out from it as a method of scene transition. When researching into this method, we realised it is also used in Justin Bieber's "Boyfriend" music video.

Another thing we will try is keying the moving band performance into a poster in a train station and zoom out from it in one of the scenes in our music video.
