This is an interesting article I found to help me in designing my own advert for the music video i'm producing. This may help too.
Tvadmusic seems a good data base to find adverts with music applied to them. These commercials seem to deal with an exterior product such a good which uses an artists track, this is a clear example of media convergence in which the product endorses the song and the song make the product more appealing meaning the product gains as well.
While my own music video isn't endorsing a product like fairy washing up liquid, it is promoting the song "Spirit of albion". This makes me think that when creating the add it might be good to make a video which is in most cases separate from the music video in terms of narrative.
My initial concept is to have a scene filmed from inside the van, having clear shots of the album cover I have created. Then when the CD has been put on the video becomes a prelude to what is in the video, which will be the point where clips of the music video I've created will start to appear. I'll write this idea up and refine it in a separate blog post.

Personnel
The people that will be helping me in making my concept real are mainly consisting of my family.
To this point mainly my father, who is an old school photographer and will be helping me in conceptualization of scenes as well as filming some of the shots.
For the most part I will be in control of the editing, taking some guidance from my dad.
I will be using a mix of shots from the present which are mainly landscape shots and images of nature, as well as previous footage I have taken in the past which may have been at stone henge solstice in 2006 for instance.
There is some footage I will be using from the internet, but this will be commented on in my video overview at the end. The reason for this is that there are some shots which are too hard to reproduce to any meaningful standard and that I feel would compromise the integrity of the video. For instance It would be hard for me to gain footage of the lead singer "Damh the Bard" before my video has to be in, so in this instance I will be using footage from one of his previous concerts mixed in with some video I have shot myself.
In my video overview I will explain who the people are in the shot if I know them, otherwise I will explain the situation I was in at the time, for instance a festival full of strangers to me would make the perfect scene to represent togetherness ( a large concept I feel is pushed on in the song and therefore needs adequate representation).

Mise en Scene
From my locations list I feel you will gain an insight into the Mise en Scene of my music video. I am focusing more on the land, images of the wild and shot of nature so as to convey the songs message of ,"The spirit of albion". In this I am attempting to capture the feeling of Britain. This doesn't mean that I will only have shots of nature, I will have some man made settings (for instance the scene from the bridge in london). However all of my scenes convey a feeling of the land and a connection to it, in london this is represented by the hurry people through the concrete jungle metropolis. Stone henge has this but in a contrasted sense of unity, of people dancing together in merriment.
