Initial ideas

Initial idea

For my first idea when we were told the music video project, I thought of doing a dance video, adding dance elements to the video. Therefore I researched some dance videos on Youtube.com to see how well music and dance fitted together. I thought the element of a dance video would work very well, and it would be something different.
Problems

However the main problem facing a dance video is people willing to dance and to perform well, without having to pay. I first thought of asking the performing arts block at Long Road, but this may be a problem in terms of time, willingness and what they would get out of it for actually doing it. I was not sure about whether if i had a group of dancers, whether they could be reliable, and whether I can get them all at the same place at the same time, without anything going wrong or messing up. It would also involve the group creating a new dance routine to the music track chosen, and this would take up time - with the increasing A level work and pressure I am not sure whether they would be able or willing to have so much time dedicated to the video.

Nonetheless, I have looked on Youtube and have found some excellent dance videos, with some slower dance performances to some faster paced and more energetic performances.

The first one below is a slower paced dance video, from the artist Neyo, with the track called 'Mad'. On this video i think its clever in which the dancers match the dance with the music, and i think they are very effective in the way they do this. This way of dancing would be perfect for a part of my music video, but it is a very advanced level of dancing.
