Instruments

The video is very much a instrumental song and including a instrument will be relevant and realte to the lyrics and structure. Another possibility for a instrumental prop could be a piano. The guitar will be the main instrument however it may vary betweent he two and in the scenes for a varity of movement. We will provide the instruments ourselves, however i think we may struggle abit with the piano, we could possibly borrow off of our school to overcomethis problem. With the instruments the artist will look like she is genuinally using and singing the song more rather than miming.

For the video we will need to use the instruments which are in the song to make the video more authentic and to make it realistic. We will be using a guitar as it is the main instrument in the music. We are going to get the guitar ourselves as some of us own guitars and this will make it easier than borrowing it from school as we can use it whenever we want. We have decided to use the idea of the instruments to make it more of a visual aspect and because it will match with the music and the visuals, also I think it will make it look much better. Having the guitar idea we will need to make sure that 'Skye' is able to play the guitar so it looks genuine and so it fits to the music. I think that the guitar is the main focus of the song as in Tracy Chapmans video she is singing with her guitar throughout the whole thing, so I think that it needs to have a guitar in some of the video but I don't think that we need it for the whole thing because then I think that it won't work as well and therefore may make it too modernised and won't relate to the genre as well and the music won't match up to the visuals as well. We are going to see our artist playing the guitar in parts of our video, we like the effect of this and think it will lookgood with our style of music. We are hoping to do this in parts of the music video that are instrumental as well as not. An advantage of using our person as Skye is that she is learning to play the guitar and therefore this will hopefully look realistic and work well in our music video.
