Moodboard Of Ideas For 'Into Dust'

Georgia and I constructed a moodboard of our ideas for the song that we will most likely be using to create our own music video for, and ancillary tasks supporting.

On the moodboard, we included most of the initial, undeveloped ideas that we had when we first listened to and explored the track. We started the construction of this piece using the lyrics to the song as a basis for all of the ideas that we had, placing this at the centre and, as you can see, created layers of ideas around the words.

The lyrics of the song, to me personally, insinuate the idea of heartbreak and 'lost love' . The fact that there is no justification behind the lyrics suggests a mysterious and confusing state of mind that the singer is facing. We could use this idea in the video to create the sense of an exciting storyline, as this is a vital feature in the video for such a slow-paced tune.

My group needs to consider whether or not we would like to enhance the idea of the negativity that could be portrayed through the lyrics, or assume that the sinister tone of the song leads to a 'happy ending'.

We explored themes such as 'loneliness' and 'lost love' as we think that these fit the song and lyrics very well and resultedly, we are planning to use some or all of these ideas in our own video.

We included ideas of how we could make the transition between shots such as 'overlay' and 'fade'. These are effects that we think will most suit the footage we are going to take, in terms of content and theme. These effects will also work well with the pace of the song; as it is very slow.

Acoustic guitar- it is important that there is the inclusion of at least one acoustic guitar in the music video, as it is this instrument that plays the melody of the track. I think that it would make the video seem more realistic and therefore, the viewer would be more likely to accept the idea that the project could exist in today's media.

It is a classic instrument that reflects the soothing, chilled out tone of the song.

Eyes, and the expression that can be shown from them, is a key theme, and the foundation for the ideas that we have for the music video.

We have also touched upon the idea of possible locations on the moodboard. There is indication to suggest that we may have already, through producing this piece, decided that woods would be an effective location in which to film a scene of the music video.

In creating this moodboard, myself and Georgia have created a good base for the development of our ideas to take place around and on. We have explored our initial ideas, and the content in our actual finished video may turn out very different!
