Ideas Make it seem more like a lyric video with lyrics appearing on objects as the actor walks through a forest to “sing� some of the song.
The artist or someone involved in the music video is in a dream like state where the whole video consists of weird bizarre occurrences such as people wearing masks and others with there faces painted, a world where animals communicate with humans.
Permission for song ď Ž
Sent an email asking for permission from the artist and I’m still waiting for a reply.
The song I have chosen to use for my music video is called Comfort You and is by Eric Baker Lyrics
Broken whisper I can hear you crying tonight Empty words and arms can’t make it alright You’ve run out of questions without answers to hold For the cold caress of helplessness inside you But let me comfort you Comfort you You’re losing hope in little memories everyday The red hairs on the floor are being swept away Well I can’t fix what’s broken but I’ll hold the pieces in place Just let me put my loving arms around you And let me comfort you Comfort you We’ll load your gun with silver bullets To kill the monsters in your room A kiss to wash the ashes from your mouth Your bleeding knees of prayer Pressed lips against your heart Dance with your shadow in the open doorway lights I’ll protect you as you lay there helpless in sleep From the heartbreaking flowers in the Magnolia trees Don’t let your life forget to forgive what it has done Don’t let it take the love left inside you And let me comfort you Comfort you
Eric Baker
Born December 12, 1978 American singer-songwriter from Knoxville, Tennessee, USA His music is considered genre-bending and has a crossover appeal, I plan to show this in the music video by making It so that it can be related to by a larger audience. The star persona of Eric Baker would be his originality and how his music sounds like every other acoustic/folk singer but at the same time completely different.
Idea for music video My idea for the music video is that the artist falls asleep and enters a dream (misty effect to make sure the audience know it’s a dream also a mid shot of him looking around realizing he’s dreaming and he’s in a forest.)
At the end of the video he awakes to his girlfriend sitting on the edge of his bed. ( close up of him looking relieved and happy, and close up of girlfriend smiling)
His girlfriend has just broken up with him (black and white effect to show depression) , he begins singing the song (close up to show his emotions),
The animals meanwhile see that this man is sad (close up of the animals (who are the same actor) to show how they’re feeling) and decide to cheer him up. They appear throughout the video holding up signs with the lyrics on and attempt to cheer him up by hugging him ( close up again of the animals and their expressions but also close up of the artist)
Target audience
ď Ž
For my music video idea we only need around 3 actors who are to dress up in animal outfits. And two actor one willing to be the singer And a girl willing to be his girlfriend.

For the music video I plan to use a bedroom as the male artist room and Hainault forest. There should be no issues with using these locations.

I plan to use the HD camcorders to get the best quality out of our music video will make the shots of the forest we hope to shoot look as good as possible and a tripod to hold the camera still to get the best shots possible where they are needed .
