Music Video Brainstorming Sheet
Music Video Worksheet Handout - 200pts
A short, engaging description of the plot or visual narrative. include the look, color and any special effects or cinematography choices.
Example:
Story: A character goes on a journey of self-discovery, leaving behind their past in search of hope. The video begins in a cramped, dark room symbolizing their past. As the song builds, the character ventures outside into an expansive, sunlit field, reflecting personal growth.
Mood: Introspective, melancholic with an uplifting resolution.
Opening Scene: The opening shot should immediately grab attention—whether it's a striking visual, a compelling character, or a strong mood. Introduce the world and its tone clearly.
Opening: A close-up of the character's face in low-key lighting, reflecting inner turmoil. The music starts softly, and the camera gradually pulls away to reveal their surroundings.
Middle: The middle of the video is a great place to introduce deeper symbolic imagery that connects to the song’s themes
Middle: As the song builds, use a combination of handheld shots and steady wide shots of nature to reflect freedom. Quick, rhythmic cuts mirror the song's tempo.
Climax: The video should have a clear emotional peak—this is where you could intensify the lighting, pace, and shot composition to emphasize a major shift or revelation.
Climax: Slow-motion of the character breaking free from an emotional barrier, possibly walking into a new environment (city lights, open fields).
Resolution/Ending: The video should offer a sense of closure or open interpretation, depending on the narrative. The final shot either resolve the tension or leave the viewer with lingering questions.
Resolution/Ending: A wide shot of the character looking out of a window. The character walks outside signaling peace and the camera pans up showing the idea of hope.
