Choreography

The majority of our music video is made up from the narrative concept, rather than the performance; therefore, the choreography will mostly consist of walking and slow movements, rather than a complex dance scene. The slow movement and walking will help to construct the majority of our music video. The pace of the choreography must be slow in order to link in with our chosen genre and the theme of our music video - which is sadness.

 

During the narrative section, the male actor will walk slowly through outdoor areas, such as: woodland and will sit down on benches. The walking is important as it will show the journey from the start of our music video to the end, where the story will be resolved. The girl in our video will also be walking and running through the woods.

 

 

 

There is also a large section of performance. For our performance section, the choreography will consist of the performer sitting on a bar stool and playing a guitar. We hope the simplicity will come off as effective.

 

 

 

We decided not to include any complex choreography as it will not resemble the research that we did for our chosen genre. Our chosen genre does not feature many dance routines, but rather elements of walking to establish a story.

The choreography is an important element as it gives the viewers a clear understanding of what is happening in the video. It is also a key element in making the video look professional and neat. For example, if he characters are out of time with the music or not positioned correctly within the screen then it can lead to an untidy cut.

This video is an example of a similar genre to our video and it shows well thought out choreography that we hope to also achieve in our video.
