Initial Planning

The form of animation i am planning  is an abstract music video. Using the track 'Saukrates- Father Time' The video will be 2 minutes long so the video will be shorter than the music track. This means that i can choose good parts of the track that would would for a video. I need to match the style of music to the style of animation whilst making it entertaining and relevant to the genre and artist.

I have chosen to use part After Effects Vector animation and partly stop motion. I have chosen these forms because the music track is quite varied in the beat pattern and the music is quite different to what i have heard before so i think a more abstract approach to the animation is appropriate. Saukrate's other videos are quite abstract and don't follow a specific narrative. They include conventions of the hip hop genre and i will try to include some of these recognisable styles within my video.

The genre is sbastract animation because it doesn't follow a specific narrative but it does reflect the style of the music. This is important to make the video related to the music which will increase awareness of the video as well as the artist and the music. I hope to create something that is different and unusual but also reflects the genre and the artist. The music sticks to an old school style of hip hop and i think this should be reflected in the music video by using imagery associated with it.
