Megan Davies - All I Ever Want Is You

I wanna be with you
I wanna crawl into your arms
Sleep under a new moon
Light up the sky with stars
It’s everything about you
That keeps my body warm
I wanna be with you
I wanna get lost here
I wanna throw away the map
Escape for a few years
From the godforsaken path
It’s everything about you
That dares me to be rash
I wanna get lost here

I guess I don’t need a lot
Less than I thought
Yeah I don’t need a lot
All I ever want is you
I don’t need a lot
Less than I thought
Yeah I don’t need a lot
All I ever want is you

I wanna be near you
I wanna hold your hand in mine
Natures in a full bloom
It’s a beautiful design
When everything about you
Sends shivers up my spine
I wanna be near you

I guess I don’t need a lot
Less than I thought
Yeah I don’t need a lot
All I ever want is you
I don’t need a lot
Less than I thought
Yeah I don’t need a lot
All I ever want is you

Never has the background paled so fully
Never have I been the one to crush
Up ‘til now this life’s been so damn lonely
Just wanna be here with the one I love

Hey hey
Hey yeah…

I guess I don’t need a lot
Less than I thought
Yeah I don’t need a lot
All I ever want is you
I don’t need a lot
Less than I thought
Yeah I don’t need a lot
All I ever want is you

All I ever want is you
All I ever want is you
All I ever want is you
All I ever want
All I ever want is you
All I ever want
All I ever want
All I ever want
All I ever want is you

Inspirations for creativity

This is a photo i took to make sure the camera was walking and it reminded me of the shots from a lot of Folk music videos depicting long open roads, so i have chosen to leave this in to show how it was the premise of many of my other images. 

These images are to give spark to creativity; to hopefully spawn ideas for the music video.

Up to this point the images were taken in the art room of my own college to see how far i can get with images from under my nose.

The idea of traveling is a big one in many folk songs and so my feet seemed ample demonstration of moment/ traversing the contour's of the world and life.

This old couple gave me the idea of long lasting love and partnership and maybe to be used at the end of the music video as we see a love interest lasting.

More of the shots that I thought of in the beginning of this task where you can see a road stretching out in front of you.

Redundancy & Entropy

Discuss the role redundancy and entropy play in at least three music videos that are of a similar genre to your chosen band/artist.

Gabrielle Aplin

 

This music video is:

• In the style of a performance with mixed shots of an abandoned house. The Abandoned house is used as a representation or metaphorical synaesthesia for her loneliness with out the love she talks of.                                                                   
• Using lip-syncing
• Almost using a narrative, as the passing of time alters the scene that is in motion 
• Using a strong Mis-en-scene use so that it give a cold feel to the music video and toward the end the feeling of light and happiness
• Using a strong change in lighting to add a warm cosy feeling with yellow lighting toward the end.
