'Gokotta' . The term 'Gokotta' is a Swedish word meaning "dawn picnic to hear the first birdsong".
(Link to the song)
The song is a melodic instrumental, featuring piano and soft acoustic guitar. Everything about the song is calm, soft and pure but with subtle overlapping. We have taken the song into account while deciding how to construct the video and have tried to represent the audio in a visual sense as much as we can. The main idea behind the video is to follow a women (Roughly 20-25) as she leaves her house in the morning makesing her way into the day.
As the video starts we see her locking her front door, walking down the steps outside of the house, put her headphones in then walking up the street towards a cafe which she enters at the end of the video.
The video will be shot majoritively from behind the actress, filming her back as she walks.
There will be brief shots from different angles but the majority of the filming will be from behind.
The calm, tranquil atmosphere created by the song will be represented by the actress walking down the street in a calm carefree manner, she will be strolling, letting the world pass her by just enjoying everything the morning has to hold.
The overlapping sounds will also be represented. We will be doing this by not only having the primary video of the girl walking but also having secondary stills and videos, these shots will be overlayed onto the primary video.
This additional footage will be the same as what's happening but from different perspectives e.g. from the actresses point of view, looking at the side of the actresses face, from the opposite side of the road and so on.
This will transform what could have been considered a boring/samey video into something much more powerful, deep and meaningful.
