After meeting up in town, we decided not to waste any time waiting until we'd found 'the girl' to mime for us. This was because the girl we had planned to have mime for us had work and so was unavailable and other people we asked we're either busy or didn't want to do it.
We came up with a range of ideas which included...
and decided that we would test some of them out first before we dedicated ourselves to just one idea again.
However, The idea we like best is of the camera being hand held used as if it was what the main person could see for their point of view, we also thought of the main person holding the camera facing them as they mimed/got on with things. This technique has been used by various indie artists in their videos.
i.e...
Jamie T - Calm down dearest. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=etcKVXsuk_o
In this video he's playing around with the camera, most shots are with the camera pointed at his face. The video has lots of different techniques used throughout, it also has some short man terrorizing Jamie.
Lily allen - LDN. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D5JMjGZ6bRY
This is the other alternative video to LDN by lily. The video follows her from leaving her front door to getting on her bike, and then it follows her from the bike as she bikes around london (LDN).. the shots are a mix of what she can see with the camera attached to her bike, shots of the camera facing her whilst she sings along, Behind, infront & to the side of her biking.. there are also clips of her in a cafe and sitting in the park.
From this version of lily's LDN video, we thought of the video of Corrine Bailey Rae, where shes riding a bike in it.
Corrine Bailey Rae - Put your records on. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OVNK_VDQY8I
In this video she is on her bike with alot of other women biking behind her. She is singing on her bike & it also cuds away to her in a corn field singing.. these clips are also linked with her having a red ribbon on her bike, then holding it in the field & tying it to a tree with other red ribbons on at the end.
Another Video that has this idea of what the person can see is the video for,
Kanye West - All falls down http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xPWqsIClPqU
In this video you can see through his eyes.. but can see him in reflections of the car window and a mirror, in these he sings so there is some lip syncing by him there. The viewer can tell they're looking through his eyes through due to the reflections, him looking at his hands etc.
Calvin Harris - Flashback http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=01Xrd2khu6k
This video also has parts that are from the artist point of view, when he looks at the photos and as he walks with/behind people, and then the camera switches round to look at him.
