Ideas for video
This video is like many trance videos it is very fast paced and many cuts are used within it. We got inspiration for our video as all the way through the video the characters seem to be running we thought we could use this in our video to try and show that the characters in our video are trying to run away from their fears.

We created a questionnaire to hand our to potential viewers of our music video, we did this in order to get a wider perspective of ideas from other people outside of our group, with a wide range of taste in music genres. From these results we can see that most people like the trance/pop genre of our music video and that 90% of people asked watch a music video for entertainment, from these results we know to make the video entertaining. We additionally know that the audience would like us to use props such as paints, glow paints photos and objects in relation to the lyrics of the song. We have also learnt that the audience would lie us to use frequent shots of the main artist, but not for this to be the main focus of the music video, we would combine the artist shots with a range of medium, close up, pan and zoom shots. Most people also expect a trance music video to use transitions combined with a narrative and the footage to be in relation to the lyrics and genre of the song. Finally, the viewers would like to see the mise-en-scene to include a beach, a forest or a party scene most. After these more important surroundings people would enjoy seeing colourful outfits which change throughout the video, dance routines, exaggerated make up, well used lighting, flashbacks and colourful surroundings. From this questionnaire we have found that the audience has similar ideas to our initial ideas, and we would like to both include and elaborate on these ideas during the creation of our music video.

Audience Profile
The audience for our music video is going to be teenagers as that is the age group of the type of trance genre is aimed at, as teenagers like quite up beat fast pace music and thats what 'bruised water' is like. We are going to aim our music video towards teenagers by using the setting as a beach as we think this is a place were teenagers can relate to and most likely go to. The teenage age is around 13-19 so as a bigger age range we need to think carefully about not making our video too young or too old.
Change in song remix
We looked for different versions of the song for bruised water, and we decided to use this one as it is faster and more up beat and has a longer beginning so we could include our flash backs at the beginning for the first minute.
Risk Assessment
Risk Assessment
When filming our music video we will all have to consider the risks involved before filming it. For instance, when we are first on the beach we will have to make sure the tide doesn’t look like its going to come in and we will have to make sure that wherever we lay down there isn’t any glass etc… that we could cut ourselves on. Also we will have to walk around the areas of Crimdon that we are shooting in and make sure there is nothing in our way that we could fall or trip over. As we are filming in the surroundings of trees and the wooded area also, we will have to walk round the area before we start to make sure there isn’t any logs or twigs that we could fall over as we run onto the beach in our video, this will make us be aware of our surroundings and the dangers we may face if we don’t plan out our sequence’s properly. As we are making a fire for our music video when we are in the woods, we will have to be careful that it doesn't get out of control or over the top that we can't handle it, as this will be dangerous.We will also have to watch out for each other when filming, as we won’t want the person who is filming being knocked over by one of the actors and then damaging the camera equipment. We will have to plan out were the person who is filming is going to stand after every shot to make the shooting and running of it flow into each scene of the music video, so we make it look as professional as possible.

Inspiration: Ke$ha- Take it off
This video by Kesha has inspired us to use glow paints as an effect as on it you can see by these screen grabs the paint being thrown about and i think that this will look good in our music video to show the hurt of each character and by throwing paint round etc... will relieve the stress that they are under and then will be able to see each characters personality by the colour of the paint that they throw. For example if one character throws red paint, then it will show that she needs love in her life or maybe has occurred heartbreak in her life which is brought out by the paint colour red.
