Brief Outline of Music Video

In this assignment we intend to create a three and a half minute music video that employs elements and techniques under the study of visual music and screen dance.
The video will explore an array of concepts such as kinesthesis, visual poetry and the relationship between abstract visual music and music video.
We will achieve a visual music piece through the plug-in sound keys made by trap code, which will enable us to link the visual with the audio. The aspects of screen dance will be produced through the kinesthesis of ‘rhythmic vines’ and graffiti band members, constructed by the use of green-screen and time spent on After Effects in post production.
Cinematographically wise, the video will stretch off one well-planned continuous shot (3mins 30), amidst aged-infrastructure, which is yet to be scouted. Brick walls, worn footpaths and typical street paraphernalia will provide a canvas to the digitally constructed graffiti that provides the salient motif to the piece.
The narrative of the music video will work alongside the lyrics of the song in which the main idea is about moving on and growing apart. This will be shown both metaphorically through the growing of the vines and also through the flow and tracking of the camera.
