Below is a moodboard of my desired props and locations for my music video. As you can see there isn't much I want to incorporate into my video as far as props and location go as my genre is synth/electro-pop; artists such as Kate Boy (who is one of my inspirations) their videos are very minimal and abstract.
To show my idea of minimalism as well as inspiration from such videos and artists I want it to be mainly studio based as this gives me the control over lighting and the simplistic backgrounds. However I don't want it to contain only studio locations as I feel this might get a little routine and boring for my audience. So, using our picturesque town landscape, we are fortunate enough to have a beach that goes on for miles, beautiful countryside and adventurous rock beds. Using these to my advantage I want to include some scenic shots of places such as Uphill, Marine Lake (rocks in particular) and the harbour by Uphill.
As for props, again, I don't want to involve lots of eye stimulating images as this could get confusing and messy. I really want to capture the minimalism and abstract nature of my genre. So things such as taps, speakers without cases, drums and abstract sculptures will give achieve this. In my song the words "everything we touch turns to gold..." I want to try and use this some how to portray Barthes's theory of music and lyrics shadowing each other to describe. For this I was thinking of using a type of gold metallic body paint and using it on certain areas of the body - perhaps in a Gotye - "Somebody I Use to Know" style.
There will be little to no narrative in my music video - the only thing that might follow a slight narrative would be the parts outside on the hill, but I wouldn't class it as much of a narrative as there is no Todorov style incorporated into it. It will be very much performance and abstract based but mainly abstract.
