Mark's Mood Board

With my mood board, I have shown what i felt from the song we have chosen "Before The Worst" by The Script. Listening to the lyrics, i have put a collection of pictures together about certain feelings conveyed through the song as well as various location shots. It is a song about looking back upon a relationship and wishing they could be together again therefore i have picked out ideas of isolation, depression etc.

I firstly took location in to consideration as this will provide the basis to the video. One half of it we have mentioned to be in a city area with people walking past and the lights creating an effective backdrop. The Script have filmed various shots from their videos in a city environment which is an aspect of their work. The other half of my location idea is somewhere iscolated which can emphasise the stoyr the lyrics convey with the singer being alone. A misty, dull forest or an empty beach would work well for this. Also we could use various long shots to emphasise this further. I've finally got a picture of a romantic restaurant shot between a man and woman which is the sort of sequence we could use for a flashback 'Before the worst.'

I then looked at clothing and the feelings the song conveys. The Script has a simplistic, casual style with hoodies, jeans and trainers worn which are features of the 'indie' look. The story of the song is about love and how great his relationship was before it ended. I have shown this through various images such as the holding of hands. There is then a sense of depression and sadness as the artist is looking back on happier times and wants to be able to have that joy back.

I then finally encorperated various shots from other music videos, effects that i liked and ones which would be good ideas for our video. There are a few shots of performance clips which we have additionally thought of doing.
