Music Video Proposal

One song that i was debating over was 'Who let the Dogs Out' by the Baha Men.

One of my other choices was 'The Music Sounds Better with you' by Stardust.

My final choice that I have decided to go with, is 'Beautiful Day' by U2.

I chose this song as i feel that it has more lyrics in it than the other two songs I could have chosen. This allows me to relate the lyrics more regularly to the video, whereas the other two songs do not have as many lyrics as 'Beautiful Day' so it would have been hard to make a storyline for them.

For 'Beautiful Day' I was thinking that I could have the time line of someone's day from them getting up to them going to sleep. I was thinking along the lines of splitting the song up into three sections, the first third would be the person getting up and getting ready for the day this would also be filmed at the beginning of the day, the second third would be following the person around, doing different things throughout the day this would be filmed between 11ish until 4ish, and the final third would be showing him coming home and seeing out the rest of the day this would be filmed until sunset as this is when I want the song to finish.

Some of the different ideas that I have had are that when he is getting ready I could have the first lines of the song sung, this could be as he is getting washed and ready. Another idea is when the song gets to the chorus I was thinking of having him walking down the street and having a couple of jump cuts. For example he takes two steps away from the camera and the cut, takes two more steps away from the camera this time starting further away, and then a final cut of him with a close up singing the chorus.

For other parts of the song I would want him singing into a microphone to make it look more professional with perhaps two more people playing the guitar and drum. For the first 56 seconds the song is slow so this is where i would want to  fade some clips into each other as it makes it feel slower and it is more interesting than just a normal cut, the actual video 'Beautiful Day' influenced me on this.

There are lots of parts of the song where I could relate to the lyrics, especially in the first minute or so as it is slower pace. For example 'You thought you'd found a friend' I could have an extra person come in the video and that could be a little scene between the two, this could use up some of the time. On the chorus I would want to video the actor(s) singing playing drums and guitar.
