JP - Responding to a Track

1. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Xgerv2PicU
2. The genre of the track is indie/alternative rock, this is because the Kooks are a well known indie band and only play music from this genre in the album.
3. I think that the track represents a lo-fi video, because the song is acoustic and would fit with a lo-fi technique.
4. This is a still from 'The Kooks- She moves in her own way' This video has a lo fi tone and a similar theme of travel to our video, it also includes strange and abstract shots like in the still to the right. And this still is from 'Arctic Monkeys -Fake Tales of San Fransisco' and is in black and white which helps the lo fi effect it is trying to achieve.
5. I cannot determine the precise budget of the video of 'The Kooks - She Moves in her own way' however i do believe it to be a low budget production, i think this because it was largely performance based with few expensive props, and mostly just the band with few extras.
6. We have not yet decided in detail how our video will go, however we have some ideas involving lots of locations maybe using a green screen. We will have a front man who will be lip syncing most of the song, and we are thinking about including some abstract scenes to keep the video interesting and different from others.
7. Because of the nature of the track, i feel no location is out of bounds and we will explore as many as we can in the video, however i do feel the majority should be in an urban area to fit in with conventions of the genre.
8. We will have 1 main character; the lead singer, who will be prominent throughout the video and we will use extras when necessary.
9. Our main special effect we are considering is the use of green screen to have our character appearing in locations all around the globe.
10. We will need to employ a group of people who can play instruments so they can play synced with the music in the band shots.
