Disconnected - Brief

Ok so if i was making a music video for the song Disconnected I would use visuals that would match the overall feeling of this song which is very sad and depressing. I would also include shots of the singer playing the piano and singing.

I would split the music video into 3 parts that would inter-loop within the music video these combined would make up the narrative for the music video. The first of these 3 parts would be shots of the singer playing the piano and lip syncing the lyrics of the song, the reason why I would include these shots is they will add character to the video as you will see the person effected by the song. It will also make it feel more normal because it would not make sense if you could hear singing but you did not know who was singing it. These shots would include the artist really getting into the singing whist paying a piano in a blank white room. The reason for this is so that the viewers attention would be fully on the artist.

The second part of the music video would be shots of a young man fighting in the army. This song is about the artists brother going off to war. If i was to make this i would incorporate this within the music video. As the song is not that old i would place the artists brother in on of the more recent wars for example the invasion of Iraq. I would incorporate shots of her brother in a fire fight i would also increase the shutter speed to capture the detail of the scene for example the dirt flying as round hit the floor and  buildings this will add a sense of action to the shot. Also seeing as i have a unlimited budget i would be shooting on 35mm film.

The third part of the music video would be of the artist having flash backs to the time when her brother was not a  war. This would include shots of them as children at a park of some description and shots of them the day he goes to war this would just continue to tell the viewers what the song is about.

I would also use in terms of technology i would use stedicams and camera cranes also with track and dollies in order to make my shots more creative and appear more professional.
