MAIN VIDEO


OLDER BY SASHA ALEX SLOAN 


MAIN VIDEO 

I wanted my main video to be linked with the preliminaries so it would look like one story / or parts of someones life , I kept my character (not actor ) and my color scheme the same through out the preliminaries and main music video . My preliminaries build up to the main video almost acting like trailers or small episodes. 

ABOUT THE SONG  

The song "Older" by Sasha is song that delves into the complexities of growing up and nostalgia. the lyrics show the desire of not growing up and to keep enjoying the simplicities and innocence of the youth. While accepting that time keeps moving and growing up and facing the harsh realities of life is inevitable. the song reminds you of your childhood memories happy and sad. The songs lyrics and beautiful melody capture the bitter sweet feeling of nostalgia, encouraging listeners to accept the fleeting nature of youth and to enjoy it. 

MY INTERPRETATION

I think the song is about growing up in a broken home. in a home where the girl feels neglected she feel like she forced to face the harsh realities of the world way to young, she trying to escape the misery she's in , she trying to ignore her problems so she doesn't need to grow up. she refuses to accept her reality but as she gets older to heal her inner child she starts to forgive the people that caused her pain and she accepts her reality. and accepts the fact that humans aren't perfect and make mistakes.

MY VISION 

I wanted to show both the past and present self in the music video. I envisioned a very dark and warm look for the music video where the older version is to show mystery and maturity. and for the younger version I wanted more light to show hope and innocence. I wanted the music video to show clearly what the child character wanted and desired but couldn't get (I showed it through the drawings the child character made ). 

VIDEO

The video turned out exactly how I envisioned it . I poured my heart and soul into this music video and I hope my audience enjoys it as much as I enjoyed making it

POSTER

I wanted the poster to be very simple and light hearted so I decided to use a picture taken in the park (ending scene) the picture perfectly shows "getting older" as the older version is completely their but the younger version is translucent / fading like a memory.

Preliminaries

PRELIMINARY  In my preliminaries I want to show my character in different relationships (friendships / romantic) to show the troubled and unfair relationships my character has been in the relationships are one sided where my character gives most of the energy and time and others don't leaving my character all alone. My character is sad and desperate to have a relationship where she feels loved and wanted . The main music video will cover why my character has this desperation for the "perfect' relationship but for now the preliminaries will build up to the main music video.  "FRIEND LIKE ME" MUSIC VIDEO  ABOUT THE SONG The song I choose for my first preliminary is "A Friend Like me" by Rachel Grae . Its a song about a girl that puts so much effort into her friendships but rarely do her friends ever put that much effort in for her she's the kind of friend that'll move mountains for her friends but her friends cant even be there for her when she ne...

Research

RESEARCH & ANALYSIS  As part of my research for my A level music video I'll be analysing the context behind scenes in music videos. How camera angles, lighting, special effects, props, rule of thirds etc are used to make the viewers more invested in the music video emotionally and literally. CAMERA MOVEMENTS 1. Static Shot: •⁠ ⁠Camera remains still, no movement •⁠ ⁠Emphasizes subject's emotions, reactions, or details 2. Pan: •⁠ ⁠Horizontal movement, left to right or right to left •⁠ ⁠Follows subject, captures wide scenes, or establishes setting 3. Tilt: •⁠ ⁠Vertical movement, up or down •⁠ ⁠Emphasizes height, power dynamics, or dramatic effect 4. Dolly: •⁠ ⁠Camera moves towards or away from subject •⁠ ⁠Creates depth, emphasizes emotions, or builds tension 5. Tracking Shot: •⁠ ⁠Camera follows subject as it moves •⁠ ⁠Creates dynamic, immersive experience CAMERA WORK SIA SNOWMAN MUSIC VIDEO In this music video instead of humans clay figures are used to portray the story becaus...
