My first Initial Idea

Initially, I spent many hours researching through Youtube and social media a range of different songs to find inspiration to create my own music video. After several hours, I came across the song 'Grow old with me' by Tom Odell, which I immediately enjoyed and created images and ideas that I could create which would match the lyrics to the song. 

I then found inspiration from the music video, as I liked the theme of young love between the two children and felt that I could develop on this idea and create my own narrative to the song. 

The concept of the video tells the story of a girl and boy who grow up together from toddlers to old age and how they fell in love. It would begin with an old woman who finds a box of old photos and begins to look through them, showing photogrpahs of a girl and boy together at a range of different ages. Then, a zoom from the camera would go to the photograph and would begin by featuring recordings of them playing together through fields and being best friends. Then a variety of fast paced cross cuts would show the two of them growing up at different ages and how they develop from friends to lovers. Then at the end of the video, it would go back to the old woman who turns out to be the girl from the photographs and it concldes that she lost her husband to the war, yet the memories of them together will live on.
