Pop Folk Artists.

Brooke Annibale is an accoustic pop-folk artist. This genre is more successful than some people may know. I thought I'd pick out a few popular pop-folk artists and the videos they've produced for their videos. I thought this may give us some inspiration for our own video (even though we've made a detailed plan and are filming it in a few hours...) and may help with the editing and how we put it together. So, the first artists I've picked is Newton Faulkner who is very popular and I'm sure many people know...




The video for 'Dream Catch Me' focuses on the artist. We can obviously not go this but we are focusing on the representation of the artist we have made in Molly's character. The video focuses on memories and it travels through situations which is very similar to what we are doing and I really love how they've layered the lights over his face... it could be something we could try and do whilst editing as it would also fit with our 'Under Streetlights' theme and the lights at night.





This is probably the most stereotypical song I could have chosen for 'The Pogues' but hey ho. It's a HUGELY successful Christmas song and The Pogues are classed as 'pop-folk'. The video centres around a couple... it also deals with the past and memories and difficulties in a relationship. Our song is similar but the problems in Annibale's song aren't as apparent as in 'Fairytale of New York'. The video is largely set at night and their are some beautiful shots of lights at night... such as the trees draped with lights and the night sky.

So, here are mine and Katherine's plans for our filming which is being done today! We wanted to use a whiteboard so we could doodle and plan our ideas and add and erase as we needed to.

So for our opening musical into (which last aprox 23 seconds) we are hoping to get quite a few different shots of our main person (Molly) walking around a countryside location and then make various split screens that will change in time to the music.


"Well I can't help but wonder why you can't help but cross my mind..."
Showing Molly walking alone, different angles, POV's e.t.c. Really zoning in on the fact she's alone and wondering... searching/lost.


(To be completed v soon)
