Dominoes
Because the title of our song is called Domino , I felt that it would be effective to incorporate elements of dominoes within our music video. I felt that by adding dominoes in the music video would connect both the images seen within the video to the song title and lyrics of the song. This concept links in with Andrew Goodwin's theory of the structure of a music video, through illustration the video would tell the story of the song to the audience.
We researched on Youtube many domino tutorials that showed people building many objects such as coke bottles and different images using domino pieces. I felt that was a creative concept to use to illustrate a image and contrast the painted image to the subject matter.

Below show some videos illustrating people painting a picture using domino pieces.
both videos illustrate different objects / images built up using domino pieces. I felt it is a creative and different way to illustrate a subject matter. Within our music video , were hoping to incorporate images that relate to the song lyrics . ie. ' take me down like i'm a domino' will illustrate a domino trail falling down.
Idea that has Influenced us
This video illustrates a visual illustrating of what we want to show in our music video. Our aim is to spell the world domino using domino pieces and use special effects to see it knock down and build back up again. This will quite a while to build and prefect , but i'm up for the challenge. With many practice we should pull it off. I'm gonna record videos of our progress of building up domino images.
My research expanded as I saw that many artist incorporated this idea of using objects to illustrate their song lyrics and narrative of their songs. Videos such as Bruno Mars - ' Just the Way You are ' and Wiley's - ' Numbers In Action' follow this concept.
Bruno Mar's - Just The Way You Are video uses tape strings to draw pictures to connect the images to the lyrics. I feel that it is a creative way to illustrate the lyrics as within the song title there is no link to tape strings . This gives the audience a sense of surprise and adds a fun element to the song as it gives a new element to the song and audience.
Below shows screen shots of the images seen within the video
Wiley - Numbers In Action
Wiley's - Numbers in Action video uses varies props such as signs , basketballs , balloons, big numbers and T-shirts that show numbers to illustrate the message of the song. The use of props drive the narrative and the use of effects adds a fun twist to the song. Within our video we would like to incorporate this idea of using a number of props to illustrate the song lyrics , but use a plain background so we can contrast the bright colours of the props to the dark background.
