A Proposal for a music

video

Student name: Chen Xiaoxin (Vivien)Student number: 3027599

Course: Digital Media Project Prototype

Outlining The project I am going to do this semester is a Music Video.

I was inspired by a Chinese artists Music Video. The Music

Video consists of three different chapters. that not only connect to each

other but also have their independent stories into one line. Here are the

links of her MV.

About my workmy idea is also the same. Similar to this piece of art, my project is going to present you a Music Video consists of three

stories.

In this semester, Ill complete the second Music Video, which

tells a story of two friends being separated at the graduation years. The

Music Video emphasized sweet memories of the leading lady and after

the separation how they missed each other.

In many filmseditors make the screen gray or gray yellowto express an old background, and it could also be widely used to show

peoples memories. But in my workthe use of screen color is on the contrary. The screen colors will be decided in accordance with the

emotions of the leading lady expressed, rather than the time line in

traditional approach.

To the leading lady, the memories are sweetso I suppose to use bright-color to draw the sense. While the present live is sorrow, therefore

black and gray will be addressed.

Works I have translated the lyrics of the three songswhen I have done

my Music Video, Ill show the lyrics both in Chinese and English, to help

audiences to understand the story that is described in the songswhen they are watching it. Here are the lyrics displays.

Christmas march Lyricist & Composer Chen Wenting

ArrangerCY.LEO Singer Chen Wenting Thanks to you were company with me on christmas eve

reveled in loneliness together

bell rang and hope refreshed

How romantic it was when snow gently blew

come up with the scenes that you wrote so much benediction on christmas card

it would never be cold with you in winter

wishes that I ve made reverberated in the church

whereas you turned against me to others

it would never be the happiness as it used to be since I cried

the happiness just like fireworks momentary but amazing

How I wish I could hear your benediction on christmas again

How I wish spend time on days we hand in hand

How I wish you sing a song for me beside a harpsicord

I can not even take a breath in such atmosphere

only you and me, the world

Graduation year Lyricist & Composer Chen Wenting

Singer Chen Wenting follow me when I start to sing

we can both come up with our memory of youth

you decisively wrote the words below on my graduating album

guy, shall we have another chance to talk?

tears burst out of my eyes, soon as I recall the days we are together

still remember you tell a jok that you fed me up

when I turn open the album to see the photos again, I can recall what we've done during that

summer vacation

you made a face and broke all my fear

I made a wish after every meteor fell

only you were acompany with me

songs sang together

were always full of happiness even if they were off keys

and even if we were hurt by something

it would not be that far away from the day we graduated, and we would go toward different

orientation

how I wish I could go with you

I know I had made so many dreams which could never come true

you always encouraged me to do whatever it was right or wrong

you told me never mindtake all the fails easy for I am not alone

Drifting away Lyricist Li Xi Composer Chen Wenting Arranger Cao Yu Singer Chen Wenting with your smile which looked like sun shining, photographs became yellow

with time flow, we shared a totally different ambience

and I still stood in the middle of the sea of flower

tied my best to keep memory which we had been together

how far away from you now, just like you are beyond the horizon which I am never avalible to

touch

every time when I close my eyes, I imagine as you are here in front of me

still remember the summer which the fragrance of flower propagates

now all the memory frustrates into pieces when we met first time

I told somniloquy same as your farewell with smile

It rains chilly outside

and you are even more remote from me

rain drops on my fingers are all my missing of you

all clouds scattered as wind breeze

in my mind you are the most beautiful and innersent and it will never change

Parts of my story boards are in the below.

This story boards may feel incoherence for reading. This part of work is a

linker between part one and part two, therefore the story is relatively

sample. The stream of consciousness will be used to give some probable

emotional impressiveness to the audiences
