Task 10 pt 2 Flume Record Label

Future Classic Record Label

Just this year Future Classic have announced that they have expanded their offices to Los Angeles to explore and represent international talent.

Like Water - Flume

I love this song. It has the exact type of vibe I want for my music video. It has cresendos that are perfect and the right electro pop sound I was aiming for.
It also has a female singer so I could use peformance easily if I intend to.

Melt into me
We go like water

The idea of the water cycle tells me that water has an objective where it needs to get to, in this lyric it can state that it is fate to be together.

Bleed, we all bleed
We go like water

Blood is a thicker source of liquid than water, it is also very personal. This suggest they have a thick bond and always come together. 

Gift everything
We go like water

All night

Up all night thinking about the other person
Close my eyes
Can’t sleep

Trying to get them out of your head. A strong love that was lost and hard to let go off
Cry tonight
Give me life
Rain down on me

Wants her water back. The water represents the person and their love together. Its gone and she wnats it to 'rain again'
All I need, all I need
You’re all I need, all I need
You’re all I need, you’re all I need

All I need, all I need
You’re all I need, all I need
You’re all I need, you’re all I need

This is pretty self explanatory. All they need is each other and everthing is content.

Inspiraitons/ Directors

This picture is a big inspiration for my music vidoe. It demonstrates the colour washes I want to overlay over my clips.
Song: Foreplay by Jason Santoy
Written and Directed by Arthur Gallery

Song idea :When Everthing Was New

When Everthing Was New - Flume
This is an instrumental track which I found whilst trying to find inspiration for my music video.

The track is meant to convey a feeling of nostalgia/ wonder/ fear and excitment. These emotions i felt were perfect for my new narrative.

The only problem is I dont know whether we are aloud to choose a song without lyrics as the specification wants a peformance aspect to the music vidoe. Also this song is only 2 minutes and 27 seconds, I feel this isnt enough time to portray all the narrative that I want to show.

But this definitetly is the right kindof vibe I am aiming for.

CHANGE OF PLANS

music video - Foreplay. Task 8 pt 5

Foreplay - Jalen Santoy

Longshot of two people, stood in an open field. There is a considerably large distance between them and they are facing in opposite directions. There is a pink faded into blue gradient layered over them. All of these opposites between them contradict. The distance between them shows there problems as a couple and how different they are.. They are both facing different ends of the field, this connotes that they want different  things within their lifes; with different goals and futures.
The colour differnce layered over them creates a mood that blends vunrability and strength.

Low shots are shown whilst he begins rapping along, stood alone in the filed. This ties in with theorist Dyer and his idea of stardom. We are seeing this process through the clothes he wears and the way he presents himself as an up and comming artist. The label are creating an image for the artist. 

The lyrics start 'First he tell you that he love's you'

There is an imediate climate change, switching from open wide fields to this seductive shot.
I LOVE THIS SHOT. It exactly shows how I want to film my video. I want colour and brightness, no real natural light but something so much more.

The camera follows her walking into the club, its the same girl from the open field. It then cuts to fast pased shots of girls flipping their hair and dancing, this sets the scene.

The music video begins flipping between shots of the girl alone in the club and small takes of people dancing, showing lust and romance. This is then contridicted by shown back to back with shots of Jalen Santoy ( the guy at the begining) by himself and with a friend. This shows that he is batterling with himself whether he wants to be with her, or by himself. This continues untill the end where the music stops and she begins speaking over, she is shouting at him, abusing him. He begins responding and there is a slight argument. she calling him not a real man.
This continues untill his car stops and he slowly falls out of it. There are yellow flower petals covered over the concrete floor. The colour yellow during the middle ages was used as a symbol of mourning the dead. Jalen's brother died in a car shotting by a police office. Jalen falling to the ground into the yellow petals demonstrates not only the mourning of his brother, but making a statemnet about the discrimation of black people in America and the problems curently happening with the police.

Task 10- Research into record company

The track I have decided to use is SALES - Chinese New Year

After a while of considering.... I have decided to not use this song...
It just didnt feel right for me and I would have regretted my descion later on. I have also chosen to chnage the idea for my music video.
