The song I have decided to do for my music video is 'Knock Knock' by Lenka. I originally put my three choices down to be 'Do You Want The Truth Or Something Beautiful' by Paloma Faith, 'Fidelity' by Regina Spektor and 'Hollywood' by Madonna, however all three songs had videos and were under ten years old; after some research on other artists with the same tone as my originally choices I decided to do Lenka 'Knock Knock'
Performers – My performers will be a girl and a boy; as the artist for this song is a girl, the majority of the video will involve her, but to follow the narrative story I plan to use.
Costumes-I don't have any specific ideas for costumes but as the song is quirky I would like a more summery theme so the boy in light skinny jeans and a white or gray tee shirt with the girl in a summery dress and ballet pumps, or possibly heels.

Location- I have numerous ideas for locations. These include joyden wood woods a train, a rowing boat, a winding lane (crockenhill or eynsford) during a bike ride, Eynsford river and Faringham area as I like the cottage feel to the area, and the lecture theatre at my school. I want the filming to be done during the day as it will be light and breezy.
Narrative Ideas-The lyrics to the story are not particularly narrative in my opinion, they tell of a girls need to see her boyfriend when life goes wrong and how he makes everything better. I would like to portray this in my video, using scenes of the girl on her own and with the boyfriend. In shots on her own she will be lip syncing, however I'm unsure, and need further consideration as to whether the girl will sing when together with her boyfriend.
Camera Angles – As I am planning to use a variety of locations, I will need to use a variety of camera angles ranging from extreme long shots to extreme close ups, at one point in my song the lyrics are ‘Knock Knock’ I plan to use a extreme close up of my artists lips while she lip syncs.
Editing Styles – I plan to use the cloning technique and have lots of different freeze shots of my artist. I would also like to use the moving photo technique with a post card which would them move into another part of the video. I am considering using pieces of paper with words on them, like Ugly by Sugar Babes; as well as using slow motion at one point.
Style and Influences – I would like my style to be quirky and summery to mix well with the song. My influences for my video, are videos by Regina Spektor, Paloma Faith, Marina and the Diamonds and I Blame Coco. The style for my girl i would like to go for is Alexa Chung
