Ideas for my music video

For my music video I aim to create a strong urban theme to reflect the underground style of the music; I have considered a lot of different ideas to include within the video, and have came to these initial ideas: 

• Point of view shots walking in a range of different locations
• Footsteps to the beat in various footwear
• The sun rising, falling and setting
• Rain drops running down car windows in different speeds
• Moving vehicles (sped up and slowed down)
• Traffic lights switching from red, to amber and to green
• Tracking shots of the male protagonist's (acting as Alex Fiction - the artist) side profile walking with at the same pace as the camera
• Shots of the time changing on a clock, running both clockwise and anti-clockwise to link to the lyrics of the song, showing even through the change in time, nothing really seems to make a change which is quoted in the lyrics
• High speed panning shots of rural areas to link to the urban theme
• Extreme close up shots of street lamps/car lights 

Mise-en-scene, camera shots and angles
Mise-en-scene is an important factor to consider within my video, I will mostly be using location shots; possible locations I will use for my video, including parks, alley ways, main roads, recreation grounds, town centres and many others. I plan to use a very wide range of locations as the change in beat I think my chosen song is very quick, so I will need a fast change is shots to keep up with the speed of the track. Of all of the locations I will use will be outdoor, and quite rural to link to the urban, underground theme I aim to create. The costume in my video will be minimal, I will dress the male protagonist is informal clothing such as jeans, a t-shirt and coat or a hooded jacket to make him appeal casual and again to link to the urban theme of the video. I don't plan to use many props other than a watch/clock to film the change in time, other than that I will mostly use abstract shots. My aim is to use mostly point of view shots, but I will also use close ups to focus on certain things within a shot, dutch tilts to show alternative angles; the majority of my camera work will be purposely made to look handheld so the shots are jerky and immediate.

Editing
Editing is crucial to making my video look successful in this genre of music, as house music videos revolve around the beat of the song, meaning my transition in shots will have to be very clean and precise. I will ensure I edit each shot to the sound of the beat, changing the location in-sync with the changing of the beat; this will make my video look clean cut and consistent. I may use transitions such as fades or dissolves on certain parts of the song when the pace slows down or at the very end of the song to allow a a slow fade out with the music. I plan to use a range of different editing effects on the shots I use to add an unusual, distinctive edge, this will include filters such as negative or simply black & white, I also want to incorporate spilt screens, editing zooming both in and out and picture in picture edits. 

Sound
I don't plan to include any dietetic sound within my video, purely just the track. I will edit the clips to the beat of the music so no other added sound will be needed for effect.
