I have drafted my very first shot list for my music video, the song i am using is First Aid Kit-My Silver Lining. The song is very chilled and slow but at the same time is has a beat that would be very interesting and easy to film a video to. Another reason why i would choose this song is because the lyrics are very broad in a sense that they could be interprited in different ways to the listener. This fact made me understand that it would be very easy to come up with the music video/narrative that i want to make to go with the music that display and express my own interpretation on the song when i listen to the music.
My idea for the video is about a group of teenage girls who are 'friends' but they are actually all miserable in each others company. This to me highlights the idea of status and populatiry that teens stereotypically desire. There will be 6 of them altogether and they will all have numbers drawn in their foreheads as an indication of their status and position in the hierarchy of the 'cool' group of friends. This is something interesting i wanted to add that is an obvious and visual thing for the audience to understand.
From drafting the shot list i felt the need to cut down the song timing and i listened to the song and found a perfect time that would sound realistic to use a fade out for the sound. Looking back i think that ending the song at 3:04 is a perfect amount of time but it is possible it could change.
