Saltwater- Chicane

The song i have chosen to do my A2 music video to is saltwater by chicane- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9u6jKV9TPLc . As this song is fast paced iwanted there to be alot of action and movement. the idea i had for the performer would be for a teenage girl in a long flowing dress, running, as if being chased or running away, throught the woods.

Influences

I wanted to use the zido shot to give the effect of being lost or out of control. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=61GgIn3kWJw i thought this would look effective if the girl was running towards the camera as i was doing the shot so it looks like shes running but not moving anywhere. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y48R6-iIYHs.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oTLJjoW867g I found a video on YouTube, with a similar set up to mine ( running). i was planning on doing different speed effects on the pace of the running, for example going in slow motion and then sped up. I like this effect as its quite subtle but enhances the pace of the music.

I would also like to have a cloning effect, so if i had the girl running and then stop and then split off from the same point, forming three new people that all head off in different directions, and then to have the girl that stopped to carry on running forward out of shot.

I wanted to do split screens so that i could have the girl running out of shot and then with the use of a split screen, have her running into another shot in a different location. i found inspiration for this through this right move advert. I also thought that this could work if i had the girl run towards the camera and i get a close up, for example her eye, and then when i zoom out shes somewhere else and carries on running. you will see this used in the first second of this clip. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NpYxlc0kUiY

I was thinking of using some unusual camera angles such as 360-degree pans to show the girls point of view and to also add to the feeling of being confused, lost or trapped. i also want to do a shot over the top of the girls head of her spinning one way and the camera spinning the other, almost created a vortex effect. to do this i may have to attach the camera securley to a pole and spin it overhead while filming but i may have to evaluate easier ways. this could look even better if i also add a fisheye effect to it.
