Filming

I am hoping to start filming over the next two weeks as I will also have to self edit the video, as I am single handedly creating this music video. I have already plotted out a storyboard and have a rough idea of scenes, and how to direct them.

Progress (Story Board)

Storyboard 

The basic idea of my video is that the two main characters (who are 6) have lost their mother and its them reflecting on memories of being with their mother and then her not being there any more. 

I'm going to do this by having shots of them playing in the park with the mother and then shots of her not being there and how it changes. One example of this will be the children will be being pushed on the swings by there mother in one shot and then in another it will just be them on the swings on there own.

Only Love - Ben Howard

Darling you're with me, always around me.
Only love, only love.
Darling I feel you, under my body.
Only love, only love.
Give me shelter, or show me heart
Come on love, come on love.
Watch me fall apart, watch me fall apart.

And I'll be yours to keep.
A wind in the shadow, a whale song in the deep.
A wind in the shadow, a whale song in the deep.

Darling you're with me, always around me.
Only love, only love.
Darling I feel you, under my body.
Only love, only love.
Give me shelter, or show me heart
Come on love, come on love.
Watch me fall apart, watch me fall apart.

And I'll be yours to keep.
A wind in the shadow, a whale song in the deep.
A wind in the shadow, a whale song...

Darling you're with me, always around me.
Only love, only love.
Darling I feel you, under my body.
Only love, only love.
Give me shelter, or show me heart
Come on love, come on love.
Watch me fall apart, watch me fall apart.

Watch me fall apart, watch me fall apart,
Watch me fall apart, watch me fall apart,
Watch me fall apart, watch me fall apart,

Only love love love,
Only love love love,
Only love love love,
Girl show me heart.
Come on love love love,
Come on love love love,
Come on love love love.
Watch me fall apart.
Come on love love love,
Come on love love love,
Come on love love love.
Girl show me heart.
Show me love love love,
Show me love love love,
Show me love love love.
Watch me fall apart.

Darling I feel you, under my body
Darling you're with me, forever and always.
Give me shelter or show me heart.
And watch me fall apart, watch me fall apart.

Plans

I am now working on my own. Because of this I have chosen to create a music video to Ben Howards — Only Love.

It's a beautiful song and I believe that I can create a contemporary video that reflects the lyrics in the song.

I am working on a story board at the moment and I am planning to have as copy uploaded by Monday at the latest and I hope to start recording Wednesday. I have already got some ideas for cast members, and for a basic narrative. I really think that this idea is going to come together quite nicely.

Rear of digipak

The rear of the digipak uses the same background ask the cover which gives it a recurring theme. The font for the header is the same, but the text size is smaller.

again some of the colours could be edited so that you can make out the words more.

Digipak Cover

Here is a closer look at my digipak front cover, its very basic and yet it looks very effective as the name of the digipak fits in with the background which is a starry night.

The font used is in the style of an Americans Letterman's jacket type And i have also used a low opacity so that you can see the stars through the text.

There are some points that could be improved, as the background is dark, it can be rather hard to see the text on the cover.

DigiPak Draft

Because of changes to the project, I have had to redo the digipak. Which looks like this so far...

 This is the actual layout of the digipak so therefore you can see the front cover, the rear-which is the tracklist and the disk-that still needs editing. As this is just a rough draft.
