This is Gospel Textual Analysis

After looking at this video i thought about my music video and how we will execute it in such a professional manner

- Locations

For location we don't really need to have to many 1-3 is a good number however if we want to push it we might go for more depending on our full idea. Location also depends on if it's narrative or performance and since we are doing a combination we will need to decide what will be best.

- Props

Again, Props depend on a narrative or not. We will clearly need our instruments but other than that it's all down to the narrative we chose. In this video they use 2 very important props and a few very small ones i think having a prop used throughout the video would be very good - maybe even one that goes through the narrative and performance.

- Costume & make-up

The costume and make-up needs to stay fairly regular - In indie rock the artists tend to stay on the "normal" side and don't go over the top unless it's needed for the narrative or the performance. Since the song we chose is quite normal i don't think we'll need too absurd ideas but just regular clothes and minimal makeup.

- Equipment that you may need e.g. track, fig rig etc.

To get a lot of the cooler shots a good editing skill will be needed and a good amount of clips- the only equipment i can see us needing is a track or a dolly to get motion shots and a tripod to make sure the camera is still,

- Number of shots required

The number of takes we will need to do will be over 10 and the number of cuts needed could be 100+. A music video needs a good number of anything to make it good and therefore if we film a lot then we will have a lot to work with.

- Number of performers

Depending on our narrative the only performers we will need is the band. This is due to the fact in indie rock the band is usually the actors in the narrative or at least the main singer is. We can't have too many actors because otherwise it would just get confusing

- Issues of representation

I don't feel as though there will be any issues of representation i think if the group & band is respectful we won't delve into that. We could aim to have not such a boy heavy band which is common in indie rock and if we do have actors we should be quite diverse. But we still need to stick with the audience that listens to indie rock (i.e not use kids or older people as indie rock is for the teenage/adult audience)

- Will you use a real band or just mime?

I think a real band would be useful since they will be used to performing and will know how to look whilst performing I also think we should play the song whilst they perform so they can sing as accurately as possible for later editing.
