Music video process

The process for making my video on final cut is a very detailed and time consuming method.
My video is very stylised and there is no particular narrative to my film.
The video for the song is made up of two different shots. One shot of myself singing the so g the whole way through, and one shot of someone dancing behind a white screen, with bright lights behind them, to create a silhouette.
My video is made up of lots of different layers and lots of different bright colours.

Lily Allen

When I listened to Chloe Howl sing, it reminded me a lot

of the style of music Lily Allen sings. the tunes and beats

of the music is very upbeat and catchy, but the lyrics discuss

a more serious situation, but their videos are very bold and colourful.

Lily Allen - LDN

Chloe Howl - Rumour

Rumours lyrics

These are the lyrics for the song, Rumours.

When she turned thirteen she went astray
with her brothers dealer,so they say
she had the baby yesterday,
perhaps it's just a rumour.
They kept her prisoner growing up
told her Jesus was enough
she's really into dirty stuff
perhaps it's just a rumour.
And if you asked her she'd say...

I'm just tryin' to work out,
how to be like myself.
I'm just tryin' to work out,
these cards I've been dealt.

See that girl she's looking great
she used to be quite over weight
she may not be entirely straight
perhaps is just a rumour.
always did as she was told
apparently she's on the dole
spends it all on alcohol
perhaps it's just a rumour

I'm just tryin' to work out,
how to be like myself.
I'm just tryin' to work out,
these cards I've been dealt

'Cause she did it, she did it
her bed is forbidden
he's fitting she isn't
she keeps her face hidden
she told 'em good riddance

her sister got with him,
she wishes she didn't
and now they're all singing.
Just tryin' to work out,
how to be like myself.
I'm just tryin to work out,
these cards I've been dealt.

2 x Chorus:
I'm just tryin' to work out,
how to be like myself.
I'm just tryin' to work out,
these cards I've been dealt.

She did it, she did it
her bed is forbidden
he's fitting she isn't
she keeps her face hidden
she told 'em good riddance
her sister got with em,
she wishes she didn't
and now they're all singing.

I'm just tryin' to work out,
how to be like myself.
I'm just tryin' to work out,
these cards I've been dealt.

She did it, she did it
her bed is forbidden
he's fitting she isn't
she keeps her face hidden
she told 'em good riddance
her sister got with em,
she wishes she didn't
and now they're all singing.

Plan and ideas

For this song i plan to have very short fast snips of different things,

cut in between scenes of some lip syncing.

I plan to film different things for a long amount of time and then

be able to play them in fast forward or rewind.

eg, the clouds going past, traffic, people walking in a busy area,

a candle burning down, etc.

Some lyrics in the chorus that is repeated is,
'I'm just tryna work out, these cards I've been dealt'
So throughout the song I will have flashes of cards.

Also the song is called Rumour, so I will involve quite a fast
style of editing, to exaggerate the feel of someone
being paranoid about rumours.

The beat to the song is very bold and fast,
giving the song quite a quirky, catchy feel leaving opportunities
to include very different, outgoing, scenes.
