Most Recent Practical Lesson

In our last double lesson on Thursday 21st January me and Luke discussed ideas that we had for the music video for Foo Fighters ‘Best Of You’, we came up with a good range of ideas, with one thing we are sure we want to, which is the singer of the band alone in a field with a microphone and microphone stand, this would give us the opportunity to get all the lip singing done in one big shoot, we would film the lip singing for the whole song 3-4 times and certain bits from different angles and distances so we would avoid the problem we had when we made the ‘Kung Fu Fighting’ music video where we didn’t have enough film to go through the whole song so we decided it will be a good idea to play it safe and get more then we need. The ideas we had for this part of the music video included filming long shots to establish the setting and lots of extreme close ups of the singer lip singing. We also had ideas to play flashing images representing a past story line in black and white throughout the song to show the song's meaning which we researched and found that the song is rather vague about a clear meaning and can be taken in aspect of losing a partner to someone else and they are getting "the best of them" and the song could also be taken as "getting the better of someone" where as a former partner is being abused, we haven't decided which route to take when telling the storyline in the music video but we want to include a storyline in some way, whether it be through still images or very short clips flashing up now and again linking in with the musicality.
