Intro to music video

The transition from the commercial to music video was difficult. We had a hard time coming up with a song to use that we all liked. It was also tough coming up with concepts for the video we would make and how long we can use that concept until we ran out of possible ideas for the rest of the video. We had to work with more demanding standards. The video would have to be at least as twice as long as our commercial. The song we chose is called Sunset Lover by Petit Biscuit. The song is not extremely popular, and neither is the artist, however developing a concept for the song was rather easy. The song doesn't have words, making it more instrumental, but has a type of beat that can be used to create a good story. Due to the fact that the song is so instrumental is has a strong beat that can portray a sad situation or something really happy. My team and I decided to go with a beachy concept of teens having fun during the summer, driving around, enjoying their time and watching the sunset go by. This song would fall into a mix of EDM music but mostly Tropical house or vapor wave. To set up the feeling and theme we want for our music video we want to make sure that we accomplish six things.For the vapor wave genre: 1st- The costumes, are very retro, modern and a somewhat neo-noir style.2nd- The lighting, very bright positive colors like what would be in a sunset, also giving a mellow tone.3rd - The Acting, is a calm non hyper-feeling.4th- The Makeup, there is minimal makeup done in this genre. It doesn't focus on the looks of the actors.5th- The props, skate boards, bikes, and other things that you would normal use and see as calming6th- The scenery, is a beach-like late afternoon early night.
