Another of Lisa Mitchell's videos
I tried to embed this for ages and then realised I was just using the link instead of the html code,
I think this music video is another great one to inspire us, its all in one shot so very very different to how ours will be but with some really nice features.
The polaroid photo taken at the start stays on Lisa Mitchell's shirt throughout and is revealed to the audience at the end,
I had an idea for our film of making a scrap book and whilst filming getting polaroid shots of different locations with us at them, and then when the song goes 'in five years time you might just prove me wrong' the camera could be panning over the book, then up to Emily, Aykut and I (who are in the film) with a completely different Mise en scene to indicate time going by which could be a sweet little ending for the film!
(If it actually ended there! But there are at least 40 seconds of music afterwards...) I also have some scepticism as to this even working as the polaroid film I have is quite small and thus we would probably have to have multiple shots of it to get close ups quickly and then it would end up looking like a slide show which is not atall the sign of a music video that looks professionally made! We would also probably have to change the mise en scene dramatically for the rest of the music video for it to look good, which would really take away from the vibrant and fun feel that we were going for!
Okay so I should get back to talking about this music video Neapolitan Dreams, its lovely, and I really like the childish features, such as little felt birds being held up by string and the Mise en Scene of walking through the woods whilst holding a basket, this also is proof we are heading in the right direction with the whole parky/ arty / cutesy look to our film as this is yet another folk video that breaks away from typical music video forms. Even whilst having a classically attractive female singer this music video does not sexualise anybody which is a key feature of folk as its sweet and pure and also breaks away from typical music videos which will also allow us to.
