With what we found out, we were talking a lot about how we would be able to create a music video that would differ from other music video, we came up with including flashbacks and editing skills such as timelapse to create a music video that would tell a story in a different way. I have looked at the music video of Beyonce's "If I were a boy" as i know that the whole music video is based upon the flashbacks of their relationship and what differs this music video to any other I have seen is that half way through the song they switch roles so that instead of Beyonce acting as "if she were a boy", it changes so that now he is, which shows both perspectives and puts a meaning and a message behind the song inself, showing both men and women how they can act. We want to use something like this within our music video so that the audience are engaged by it though out. We aim to use the good and bad memories of the relationship in the past to show the journey of a relationship and use the black and white effect used in this video to convince the audience that the mood of the music video is negative and gloomy. I feel that this will exaggerate the theme of a heartbreak, which is what the lyrics are about.
A technique we were thinking of using was a split screen, with the two characters doing the exact same thing eg. sitting on the bed, however acting very different from the breakup, we want to create it so that the male main character is upset and sad about the relationship as it was his fault it ended then the woman acting happy and satisfied with the breakup as she knows she deserves better, this way the lyrics and the narrative have a symbolic link.
