Website ideas I want to incorporate nature into my video, making one of my locations a field. Due to its significance in the video, I think it would be important to link my website design to the locations featured. However, if I do choose to use a photo like this I would incorporate color. Either using a filter or smoke bombs This design is more simple, with the use of monochromatic colors to reflect the image the band is trying to portray. This could be a possibility for a website design as it isn't too bold and confusing allowing me to add more written detail and focus on a bolder font instead.

Collage This mood board of pictures shows different potential settings that I may want to film at for my video. settings such as city landscapes with footage of buildings and streets in the background and also the use of bright neon lights and cars to make the video more fun and interesting to watch and film.

Treatment Song: Devil eyes by Hippie Sabotage duration: 5:15 - shorten down to 3 mins Target audience: Teens/ young adults - age ranges of 15- 20 location: variety of locations, including: fields buildings streets video outline: the video begins in a field with people walking camera pans into the building where 3 people are standing, before the beat drops close up and then pan out during beat drop ( smoke bombs go off). the camera cuts to cars on the street. overall I want my music video to be creative and interesting with lots of different settings and things happening in the video.
