For our A2 media coursework we have decided to do a music video with two pieces of ancillary print work.
Our song ideas included:
Katy Perry - If You Can Afford Me
Kate Nash - We Get On
All American Rejects - I Wanna
Pixie Lott - Turn It Up
However, our final three choices were:
Pink - Bad Influence
Snow Patrol - Disaster Button
Melody Thornton - Space
29/9/09 Video Ideas
Snow Patrol - stick close to lyrics - room/party/lights/dancing
guy sat in the room on his own looking lonely/glum but with loads of people around
is it his party?
sees a girl and becomes nervous, intrigued by her
- go forward to later - undercranking, people talking/dancing/drinking/laughing
point of view shots from male mostly integrated with singer; alone with guitar and mic.
- function room is dead - end of party; tidying up?
see's girl 'volt in step'
possible large group shots of people dancing throughout. end of song male could be walking the girl home and he stays the night? meets the band in the morning and it becomes clear that the male is actually the lead singer of the band.
Pink - classy party possible casino? poker game? cocktails and nicely dressed, well-off people.
'you and you' shorts clips with different people singing the lyrics
Melody Thornton - studio shots of girl singing; as if she is singing about her dysfunctional relationship.
flashbacks to girl leaving her boyfriend, packing bags, arguments, happy times, reminiscing, girl being stood up.
guy alone with a plain background symbolising space.
guy in the car/around the house and can't stop thinking about girl always in the back of the scene showing she is always on his mind.
start - guitarist/singer in studio / guy walking into party. band on stage /point of view/guitarist sees the guy walk in.
basic - guy at a party feeling - dejected. sees the girl. looks around for her as if he needs to find her. see's her again but much later. "flash forward"
ending - guy walks the girl home. end up in bed together at her house. they kiss (camere circling) he leaves in the morning feeling happy as if he has accomplished something. walks to the end of street meeting the band. We realise that he is friends with them, possible member?
