However, we were assigned teams of who to be with and I was placed into a group with Rosie Acton, Hannah Griffin and Danielle Scott and discussed our ideas which we had individually thought of. Whilst Hannah and Danielle did have their individual ideas, like me, they were unsure of how to pursue these ideas. We therefore decided to use Rosie's idea as it was the strongest and most well thought out one.
Rosie's song choice was 'People, Help the People' by Birdy, a 2011 song which fits into more of the indie genre. Rosie's original idea was mainly focusing on a girl who had been in a broken relationship but at the end finds her boyfriend again. However, after discussing this idea in a group we decided that this did not particularly fit with the lyrics of the song, which are more noticeable about helping the people of the world due to the slow tempo of the song. We then decided to follow the narrative of the lyrics about helping people. As Danielle was rather interested in a dance idea, we decided on using contemporary dancers into the instrumental section of the song, as using the dance scene would be easier to shoot as miming would not be needed as much, which is difficult for non-professionals due to timing issue.
We discussed ideas such as:
- Fading from black and white to colour
- Slow motion
- Dance section
- Manipulating the narrative/playing with time (starting at the end and finishing in the same position)
- Female lead - most accessiable for us and suits the feel of the song
- Walking through the streets - require outside shooting
- Handing help to people
- Miming - this would only be in a small part of the video as this is rather hard to pull off
