Ideas for our Music Video

We have looked at a few videos in our music video genre, to help us get ideas for our own music video.
One of music videos we looked at was 'Where is the love?' by the Black Eyed Peas:

From this video we liked the idea of the children singing the lyrics (1:02) because it is a different approach to singing and not many artists use this technique.

The second video Devlin, runaway:

From this video we got the idea of using different stories with different age groups to use as a sort of a narrative.

We were also inspired by Jessie J 'Wild':

From this we liked the idea of the artist moving the camera with their hand, this inspired to use this technique but when the camera moves rather than move on to the next person it moves to a different scene of the video.

The final music video that we got inspiration from was One Republic 'Counting Stars':




From this video we got the idea of using the audience dancing but it isnt an obvious audience it just looks like people dancing. In our video we want the audience to be dancing around the artist and the band.

Music Video Idea Planning

 



This is a brainstorm which we created in the lesson. Seeing as we have decided on the song we decided to think up some ideas that we could use for our music video. One idea we had was having a stage with a band and the artist playing. There would then be an audience of people dancing and watching the performance.
Another idea we had as the song is all about 'Loving again' is having couples of all different ages (children, teenagers and adults) arguing. We thought of different places where they could be arguing to set the scene. The children could argue in the playground, the teenagers in a living room and the adults in the kitchen.
We thought of different effects we could use in order to make the band more realistic; lights and smoke machines.
In order for the artist to make a relationship with the audience we decided to make sure that there are shots where the artist is looking into the camera and singing.
These are all initial ideas for our music video which we created as a group.

Our Chosen Song- John Newman, Love Me Again

We have now decided on what song we are going to do. Our chosen song is called
John Newman 'Love me again'.



This song was decided because of the music video which is already in place for it. We didn't think the music video was very good for the song and we felt we could improve it. We have lots of different ideas for different shots and locations. We also have some ideas for special effects such as smoke machines and lights. The song is fast paced which gives us the opportunity to make lots of cuts along with the beat of the music.

Music Video Research

Our group have been watching music videos to help us gather ideas for our video. The videos that we have been watching. Some of the tracks that we have looked at are of an alternative and pop rock genre.

The first track and video we chose was MKTO - Classic



We looked at this music video and track as it is very fun and the song is good and of a popular genre. The  music video that is already made for this song is really good and there are not many things we could improve on so this wouldn't be a good song choice for us. It shows the artist off which makes the audience get involved with the star. There are also many different aspects of the video which are good such as the use of the stage, lights and costumes that we could use in our future music video when we have decided on a song.

The second track that we chose was Passenger - Let her go.





This track is a very good and well known song. The video is not a big video and is a budgeted one. Therefor if we was to choose this song there are lots of ways that we could present it. The song is a very big one however the video isn't known. If we was able to make a great video to this we would recreate the video making it much more fun and interesting. The ideas we have for this video is to create a story in the video and combine it with a band preforming.

John Newman Love Me Again






This track is our last choice for an idea. The track is well known and in the charts at the moment. John newman is a upcoming artist who is growing fast in the music industry.  The track is soulful and the lyrics are very meaningful. The video is yet again very boring and budgeted so there is lots we can do with it. We can create a story, involve different people, get a band together, use , green screening and multi-screening. The ideas we have for this track are endless, as we listend to it we lit up with ideas and wrote many down. This song is most likely to be the one that we are going to work with.
