(Sorry for the poor quality, what can you expect of a webcam eh? Here's what I said if you couldn't understand)
For our Narrative idea of our music video for Daft Punk's Digital Love, I was thinking something along the lines of an online, instant messaging conversation going on between a guy and a girl, but majority from the viewpoint of the guy as the singer of the song is male. because of the fairly up beat pace of the music there would be lots of straight cuts and jump cuts to different shots, majority of these shots being at a neutral angle unless for effect, for example if there was a birds eye view shot of the computer keyboard. One of the main ideas is that sections of the lyrics could be typed up onto the laptop screen, filmed at an over the shoulder perspective or and extreme close up. The narrative that the video would portray is that of a young teen romance that is initiated online, tying in nicely with the songs lyrics and title 'Digital Love'. So generally throughout the video the two young people appear to falling for each other more and more, shown through little symbols and motifs such as small ornaments on the side of a desk with hearts on or the like. Lighting would majority be from, or similar to, the light generated from a laptop screen, the video would also be filmed in a teen boys bedroom at night, keeping to the idea of a teen romance, and also following the lyrics where it says "last night, I had a dream about you". Also sticking to this key line in the song I think that it would be good to at the end of the song have shots of the teenage boy waking up as if the whole conversation was a dream, but finding the words "I Love You" left at the end of the instant messaging conversation from the girl.
Realistically in our actual video I think that there will be elements of performance and abstract included, but it will mainly follow the conventions of a narrative video.
Over and out.
