Choreography/movements and blocking

I have taken some photographs of what angels I intend to film shots from, the mise en scene, locations and movements of the performers, in order to discuss the overall effect of them.

The song is called 'Where the grass is tall' and the lyrics tell the story of two lovers in the country side. Some examples of the lyrics are 'Se dared to, take off her shoes...' 'Unbuttoned her Fathers shirt. I undone my tie, soon all my clothes were on the ground near by ..'

In this photo I have shown both a male and females clothes and shoes thrown on the floor and draped on tree's to create an illustrating effect of the lyrics. I aim to have shots of clothes landing on the floor as my performers take of their coats and shoes etc... as he is led through the country side by an alluring female.
In this photo I have also included a dangling red apple off black ribbon to give the photo an entropic twist as the apple connotes the concept of Adam and Eve and the way it is hanging from the tree is an unusual way.

This picture shows the similar idea of a man's jacket draped over the branch of a tree with an apple in the pocket which again links back to my concept of Adam and Eve.
This is an example of the type of focus and shots I want to use in my music video. This is a long shot and when filmed will show the artist walking directly towards the camera, playing the guitar and miming as these shots will show the artist actually performing the song, as other music video's do.
The shot its self is a low angle shot to make my performer stand out and really capture the idea of him walking towards the camera. I also want to have low angle shots of his bare feet walking through the country side.

This shot shows the apple hanging from the tree and in my filming I aim to record with the apples hanging down in the fore-front of the shot and also experiment with the focus around the apple.




This snippet of the Mumford and Sons video shows a man barefooted walking through long grass. This is a perfect example of some of the choreography I intend to include in my music video. This will show the male walking towards and following the trail of the alluring woman and the use of bare feet will highlight the natural look I am aiming to achieve.


1.45 in the same video shows a hand flexing at the side of a males body. This is also a piece of choreography I want to use in my video as I am going to focus on body parts in certain shots to link to link it back to Adam and Eve and the sexual temptation between a male and female.
