we used many different locations in our video and looked at a lot more the sites we used in the video were

and many more

Inspiration

we got our inspiration from many different sources mainly existin music videos we decided that from the list that we chose from there were elements that we liked from each we liked the fact that all of the videos had a narrative such as the video for Wake Me Up When Sepember Ends which told the story of a couple so we decided to use that put put our own slant on it this is a convention of rock music videos which helped us decided to use a narritive in our video we liked the fact that in the Coldplay song The scientist was in reverse so we used an element of that in our video. Also some films helped us decide on the storyline that we were using such as Fever Pitch http://www.imd.com/title/tt0332047/ which has a storyline similar to the one in which we used.

questionaire summary

From looking at the results of the questionaire i have discovered that we need to film in a variety of different locations in the local areas. The video must be filmed in colour and there must be a band made up of both male and female members. The main focus must be on a Make-up/Break-up situation. If we stick to these specifications then the end product of a video will meet the wants and needs of the target audience.

Final song choice

The song we have chosen to use is Theory Of A Deadman - In The Middle the reason we chose this song is that it has never had an official video created for it so our ideas will be purely our own with only influences from other videos also it has a potential to be moulded into whatever idea we choose for it. It is an emotive song so we will create an emotive story to go with it that the audience will be able to relate to.
