During todays lesson, Elliot, Max and I continued to explore the song Californication by the Red Hot Chilli Peppers which is our final choice for our music video.
We came up with the idea of me running through a dream like state that represents the Hollywood image, however, i continuously get stopped by objects and obstacles in my way that portray different lyrics from the song. For example, I could be stopped by a man dressed all in white as a plastic surgeon who plans to perform surgery on me. This represents the Hollywood image as fake and manufactured like Californication sings about.
We also talked about going to a sandy beach that is relatively near. We discussed the possibility of going to Brighton or West Wittering. Having been to Brighton several times, I realised this wouldn't be appropriate because Brighton's many beaches consists of pebbles only, with the beaches of California being sandy and gold. This left the only option of West Wittering, which is only 1 hour and 30 minutes away, where the majority of beach is sandy. It is important to make sure we go on a day when the weather is forecasted to be sunny, even if not that warm in order to create an atmosphere similar to what it would be like in California. The sandy beaches of Wittering would be the best way to create the Hollywood atmosphere and dream.
We also discussed the possibility of using a fat man dressed in a Hawaiian shirt and shorts to represent the successful businessmen of Hollywood, California. The fat man would need to be filmed on the beach and therefore we would have to find a suitable candidate willing to spend the day at Wittering with us. Our teacher Mrs Mann, also discussed with us how the alcoholic drink 'Mojito' was exceptionally popular for those who were successful in California, and therefore it would be great for our chosen 'fat man' to be drinking a Mojito, which would help set the atmosphere of Hollywood, California.
