Music Video - Skepter

Skepter – hold on

This video worked well because of the strong connection between the lyrics and the visual story. It really helped create a connection between the two. I thought the lyrics of the song were powerful, and even though it is already a good video, I had other ideas for it. This video helped my thought process for my A2 media production, as it helped me understand how some songs have better lyrics to create a video to match than others, and how the ones that capture your attention will be more successful.

Idea -

I only had vague ideas, but I thought I could have it linked to depression. I was thinking of shots of a big bridge e.g. Clifton Bridge, Bristol. The idea was that I would show someone going through a hard time, but managing to hold on and become stronger. I had ideas of camera shots to change, as emotions went up and down. E.g. high-angle shot showing vulnerability, extreme close-up to show true inside expressions, low angle shot to show how they have become stronger etc.
