Here is the cover version of 'Your Song' performed by Ellie Goulding.
Initial Ideas...
My initial ideas for my video are to film a time reverse video, using the editing technique I tried out in pre-production where you film a clip and then reverse it to create a backwards, out of sync piece. I want to create the video using two different locations- a performance space in a studio and an outside location. I want a combination of a performance based video and a narrative story. I will film the performance of one girl, singing to the lyrics in a studio environment. I want the lighting to be very soft and pretty, maybe use fairy lights or small candles to create this effect. This will match the soft nature of the song. I took some inspiration from Christina Perri's music video for her song 'A Thousand Years' for the lighting ideas.
The video however is quite dark, i love the way they have used so many small candles. It makes the video really beautiful, I want to create this on a smaller scale and add some more artifical lights to brighter it up more and make it softer than the Christina Perri video.
I want to then combine this performance element with a storyline. This is where the time reversal comes in to play. The story will be about an old couple who are in love and how they came to meet. It will start with the old man who has now lost his wife, he is very emotional and it goes back it time to look through all the good times of their life and how they came to meet. I want it to be very reflective with flashbacks to him as a young and old man.
