What did you find surprisingly or enlightening when you compared your ideas with the real video? How was it different? How has this helped you with planning your own video?
When we compared our ideas to the real video we were shocked to see that it was nothing like what we thought it would be. We noticed that just from one set of lyrics they could be many different interpretations and ideas of which could be at two ends of the spectrum.
The video was different from our own ideas as we thought that the song would be sung by a female who has lost her husband to depression and how she failed to saved him. However, the real video was sung by a band and showed shots of all different types of people holding a picture of the person they lost. Towards the end of this video, the people were smiling and although still sad about their loss they were able to be happy and continue with life.
This has helped us to plan our own video as we saw that we could use an artistic perspective whilst still being able to create a narrative. This gave us plenty more ideas which we could use in our music video, which we have included as flashbacks.
