Ideas For The Opening Of Our Music Video

The opening to a music video is extremely important because it sets the tone for the rest of the video. We've decided to utilize the beat at the beginning to set the opening scene, in which the main character meets the ex-lover and we thought of having a close-up of his face as he is walking along, with his headphones in just walking past and bumps into the ex-lover. As the chorus kicks in we want to have the scene fade into a flashback scene where he is with the ex-lover and having a great time at the park and the fun-fair. While the chorus is on we want to have the featured performer to sing parts of his chorus but not too much, we felt that the narrative aspect of this video should have more relevancy in our video than the performance aspect of it, and whilst researching contemporary music videos we found that the featured performer is not there for all of their parts, they only appear every now and then in the video. That's the direction we want to take with this music video, I feel as if we were to utilize the flashback scenes straight away, the audience will recognize instantly the tone and what the video is trying to reflect. We will use a variety of colours such as blue to reflect the sense of melancholia and red to symbolize love, lust and romance.
