Analysis of our song

We printed off the lyrics for our song 'Ink Settles in' and highlighted the the lyrics we belived was key to the song. From this we came up with lots of ideas that we could uses within our music video and we drew pictures to help us visualize these idea. We have decided that the song is about someone breaking the artist heart and that it has pain of the break up has settled in. The theme of our video is based on  the lyric 'As the ink settles in' we are going to show this by using lots of paint in different ways, For example we are going to buy some love items and cover them in paint.

 

The concept for our music video is based around the song lyric 'As the ink settles in'. We are planning to uses a lot of paint (as this is similar to ink) though out the video to represent this.  We believe that song is about someone breaking the artist heart and we want to get this message across. But instead of doing a typical narrative story of girl and boy get together and then break up, we are going to create something original and unique by showing a number of different montage shots that fuse the paint and the break up together.  We are going to do this by dripping paint on to various love items (for example the rose) to represent the gradual break down of romance. 

Another lyric line we are going to uses in our video is 'Burn forever, like gasoline and grass'. For this we want to set fire to some love items, as it represent the angry and hurt that the artist is going though. We also really want to push our media skills to the limit so using the lyric ' piercing in my spine' we are going to create a stop motion part with where the dress of our performer starts to rip open and reveal paint dripping down.

As for the performance we are going to have our actress mime the song in a date like setting (most likely to be a dinner date). Then as the song goes on she get  more angry, so we are going to show this by having our actress start knocking smashing the set while having paint thrown at- the ink is settling in!
