First Shot List in Chronological Order

After planning the basics of our video and going through the song second to second, came up with what we wanted to happen at each second of the song. We knew we were looking for a performance based video with close ups of each band member and clips of live footage, so we organised these ideas into something that seemed like a music video. These are still just initial ideas and an advanced brainstorm. We still have not decided locations and costumes, but have an outline to what we want.

As you can see, we still have not decided on any shots for the solo. This is a guitar solo that we want to look like your classic conventional solos in a music video. I have linked some inspirations for what we would like: Estranged by Guns n Roses http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dpmAY059TTY

If you skip to 8.05 when the main guitar solo is playing, Slash is totally isolated in a crazy location where the sea is orange, and he emerges from the water. There are loads of close ups and a lot of panning shots and zooms. There is a lot of focus on the guitar as he plays it, he also stands in his signature pose. One of the main techniques that I hope to use in our video are the long shots that look very epic and match the size of the solo that is being played.

This video by The Darkness also has a guitar solo where the guitarist stands on a rock while the rest of the band play below him. This video also uses close ups and long shots to give the solo more of an epic feeling. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YGPyUSVtpZM

We decided to use footage of the end of the live performance footage that we are using with the actual audio. This would be the final shot of the video and would make it seem as if the audience watching the video was actually at the live show. (A similar effect as the Oasis video The Hindu Times, that I previously analysed.)
