Planning for Music Video- Final Song Decision / Change of concept for our Music Video

Final Song Decision
As a group we listened and watched both 'Domino' and ' New York'. We took into consideration what Mary said but concluded that we would still go ahead with our first chosen song being ' Domino' but agreed that we would have to think of a concept to illustrate the lyrics of the song through a structured narrative. We collective came up with the idea of a girl ( being played my Messie M) on her way to meet her boyfriend. Along her journey , she ends up in difficult obstacles that leave her looking like a mess. Hence the title ' Messie M' for our artist. Half way during the lesson we began to draw a storyboard illustrating to the audience what would be seen within the video.


Change of concept for our Music Video
Me and Mary came decided to change the concept for our music video because we both realized that our original idea for our video might be too complicated to film.We came up with the concept of keeping our video more Domino related by illustrating the song lyrics with actual domino pieces. In addition , we also found a new location being our college. We decided to use one of the media rooms with the green screen as the room is set up like a music video set with lights, projectors, green screen , curtains etc... Also , we were more attracted to the new location for various reasons such as:  we didn't have to carry the heavy equipment with us ,as we could keep the equipment at college. Also if we had to re- film a scene again , we would not have to waste valued filming time by travelling from location to location.
The only problem that both me and Mary have stumped upon is that we can't find a store that sells a large quantity of dominoes. Hopefully as our search continues , we find a place that provides a good number of pieces.
