IDEA 3
Song: Modestep – Another Day

DEVELOPMENT OF IDEAS
Chosen Idea: 1

4.  This song is electronic and starts off with
a slow pace and gradually picks up during
the first minute. The song lasts 3 minutes
and 38 seconds (3:38) and uses very few
lyrics which are used at the start to build
up the pace of the music video and are
shown here;
 You'll never fly, if you're too scared of the
heights
You'll never live if you're just too scared to die
Everybody wants heaven... I know
But darling freedom ain't free, it's a long road
You'll never find your place up there in the
sky..
If you never say goodbye.
HARDWELL & DYRO – NEVER SAY
GOODBYE

5.  This music video lasts 3 minutes 12
seconds (3:12) and fits in with the
genre of Drum & Bass, a lot of the
lighting in this music video is bright
and reflects the lyrics.
 Because Drum & Bass is a fast paced
genre of music I will use a lot of close
up shots and fast tracking shots to
make it fit in and match the pace of
the song.
 You should know, now you know what
you got me
So serious, you don't need I hit the
ground running
Slow up, you don't make for this heat
Arma me, you just like me roll with it
as it comes
Unravel the mystery, so plain to me
'cause nothing ever skips my beat like
it does
I'm done with this history be
Just skip to my beat
Let's sit and then I hear your heartbeat
ANDY C & FIORA – HEARTBEAT LOUD

6. MODESTEP – ANOTHER DAY
 Modestep – Another Day is a
electronic song/music video and is
4 minutes and 25 seconds long
(4:25), here are the first few lyrics
of the song;
 Tomorrow is another day
No worries, no troubles
We're read your mind and it's by
the way
Keep smiling, keep fighting
Live for each moment and day
While we're rising, life's full of
compromising
So just live for the moment and
save
All your worries for another time
Cause tomorrow is another day

9.  Two different narratives.
 Shots of cities and large buildings using flashes.
 A girl and a boy to create the storyline.
 Shots of both passing each other eventually building up to the end
where they meet.
 Parallel editing and B roll shots.
 Lots of close ups on both faces to show the connection between the
boy and girl.
LAYOUT AND CAMERA

10.  Actors will be wearing casual clothes as such to fit in with the
theme and mood of the music video.
COSTUME AND LOCATION
• Casual clothing
• Jeans
• Coats
• handbag for female
Most of this music video will be
filmed in a country side after a
male and female both took the
same train and are now lost
looking for each other.

11.  Health and safety will be important in these areas where I'm filming
because the countryside has a lot of risks which could severely
injure someone or harm someone because of the amount of nature
e.g. trees and other environmental issues.
 Locations will be chosen based on:
1. Safety to people involved in the project
2. Setting
3. Lighting
4. Room to film and take a range of camera angles
5. Clearances
6. Genre conventions
7. Mise en scene
HEALTH AND SAFETY

12. MAP OF LOCATION
• The area where I will be doing all the filming will be location here
on this map which is located in Upper Basildon and suits the
theme of the music video very well.

13.  Finance needed will mainly be for costume + props as filming in a
countryside wont and should not cost anything unlike filming in big
cities like London.
 We have a reasonably large budget so if there is anything we need
we can get it without hassle, we have a lot of resources and
shouldn’t need anymore for the music video.
 For this project we already have an idea of:
1. A prepared budget
2. Booked resources
3. Prepared schedules
4. Health and Safety risks indicated
5. Risks to the project
FINANCE AND PREPARATION

14.  To edit and compose my music video together I will use Sony
Vegas as I am experienced with it and I know all its functions
and capabilities to set my music video to the highest
standards possible.
