Storyboard

This is the preliminary storyboard we created for our music video. The Idea process was a collaborative effort, with the artwork and annotations having been completed by Tom O'Driscoll (slides 1 through 5) and myself (6 through 7).

Song use confirmation Email from Elle Mary

This is the confirmation Email that we received after Jacob contacted Elle Mary. The positivity of the message spurred us further to create an interesting and engaging video that showcased the song we had chosen.

Chosen track (Elle Mary and the Bad Men - Rose)

   

Slowly it happened,

Could I see it coming?

Soaring, you flew

You rose, rose, rose

You rose, rose, rose

Down you landed,

Fallen like the apple,

Pulled by the rain,

Where you belong,

Grounded

You rose, rose, rose

You rose, rose, rose

You rose, rose, rose

You rose, rose, rose

Now you've landed,

Fallen like the apple,

Pulled by the rain,

Where you belong,

Grounded

You rose, rose, rose

You rose, rose, rose

We chose this track, mainly dues to it's highly emotionally charged nature, containing connotations of darkness and loneliness, with some brooding anger, giving us plenty to work with and mold into a useful, working piece. Much of the song makes reference to the fact some other character has ''Fallen'', and has been ''Pulled by the rain'' - particularly interesting due to the typical connotations of sadness and, sometimes anger that are pinned to this particular form of weather. This could also be a link to the Biblical tale of Adam and Eve, with the song showing some contempt for it's referenced other character - talking about an apple as if it is ''The Apple'' of the biblical tale in a singular sense.

Another particular connotation of these lyrics is the emphasis on the lyric ''Rose'' and ''You Rose'', indicating that someone is rising from something, or perhaps rising to meet something.

We contacted Elle Mary directly, and after some wait we received an overwhelmingly positive response.
