Our video and corresponding ancillaries cannot be claimed as copyrighted from the original Johnny Cash videos, as my the ideas we have used for this product may not be new but are free of any clear links to Johnny Cashs style of music video and ancillary products. The ideas that led to the creation of this video were simple ones that could be link to all kinds of music video genres, as our original idea was set in the countryside and was a narrative video. But due to it lack of detail and failure to portray a clear story it was clear that it needed to change. After working on the video and adding new video text to it, the fact the videos main concept was flaured became clear and we began to rethink our ideas. The main issues at the time was the location and the characters as the characters had little time to spare and the location was loosing light faster due to the fast aproaching Winter months.
This led to the drastic read think that you seen as our final product,As after alot of phone calls and planning we were able get access to the location we used for the final piece. Using the equipment we had to hand we created our video,The clothing used in this video was selected to make the main character stand out against the other character that are all dressed the same. Due to personal reasons some of the characters in our video wished to stay anonamous and so their faces were removed from the video a concept not used in the Johnny Cash videos.
We researched this genre of music, through other country country musicians as well as johnny Cash's music.
Fred, avoid 'OUR" you made it, writing our makes it seem that you worked in a group when you didn't.
ReplyDeleteYour knowledge of videos from this genre of music will be key, remember you need to give precise examples of where you have copied existing conventions and where you have avoided them.
