Firstly, I intend on using the song 'Garden' by Lil Skies for my music video. I chose this song out of the multiple options as I thought this song especially would be appropriate and fit the criteria of the song not already having a music video and being longer then 3 minutes (3:03). I also enjoy this song and the artist Lil Skies personally which is also a big factor to why i chose this song.

Furthermore, when it comes to the production of my music video, i will be using my iphone 6 to film all scenes for the video as i feel the camera is more then adequate to capture video. The locations in which the scenes i plan to film include a park, alleyway, car park (rooftop, inside and staircase) and forest. I specifically chose these locations in relation to the song i have chosen as i feel these locations would fit the relaxed tone of the song. I also picked locations that were accessible, the amount of locations I've stated exceed the criteria of 3 and i hope to utilise all or most of these locations to fit this criteria. In Addition, the apparel i will be wearing will consist of 3 or more different outfits across the scenes to keep the video interesting within every cut to different scenes to capture the audiences attention throughout, this also relates with the amount of locations i've chosen.

When filming the video I will film all the scenes myself. I also plan to use certain camera techniques i wish to use within my video. I intend on using multiple camera techniques for this video and first of all i decided to focus on camera movement techniques as this is what can make the music video effective or not in presenting the mood of the song, some of these techniques will be well known however, some might be sourced from tips and advise from actual music video producers. The camera movement techniques i will use are: Action shot (matching the camera movement to the tempo of the song or the movements of the artist themselves), In and out shot (moving away and toward the artist), Semi Circle (moving left and right around the artist but not all the way around), Full Circle (Circle all around the artist) and Tracking Shot (any angle following the artist).

The narrative of my music video will be my main star being haunted by his past self in physical form due to a dark past but he changed has ways and at the end defeats his dark past and is freed to start a new.
