Videos for the songs I might choose

Song– Hall of Fame by The Script and Will.I.Am The song would be about a male dancer who gets bullied and beat up on a regular basis but then finds comfort in a girl who is bullied for being a lesbian. The video would centre on these two characters but feature clips of other people who have been bullied and disadvantaged. Song-Gives you Hell by The All American Rejects The video would show a breakup between a girl and a boy and how much they seem to hate each other and how they’ve moved on with their lives . By the end of the video, they realise they still have feelings for each other.
Song– Uprising by Muse A video about the uprising of two gang/armies. The video would show the difference between the two sides and what they stand for.
Song– Lightning by Alex Goot A video that would be about a guy who has a crush on a girl that already has a boyfriend however the two come together and end up being stuck together. The video would show how much fun they are having. It would then turn out that they she has feelings for him. Song– Iris by The Goo Goo Dolls The song would feature a typical love story between a girl and a boy from different social backgrounds. The story would show them meeting each other and spending some time together but then having to go back to their separate worlds. Song: Jai Ho by The Pussycat Dolls The video would show an indian themed location where there is a big chase between a girl and a curious boy. Between the clips of the action, there would be clips of dancing and singing. Song– Find Me by Boyce Avenue A video where it shows the relationship between a young couple in which one is terminally ill. The song is happy but it features some sad lines such as “Blindly, I came to you knowing you breathe new life from within” We felt this line describes how passionate a relationship could be.

Music Video Directors and Producers

In order to get higher marks, I have chosen to study and emulate styles of music videos that other producers and directors have decided to do.

 Below are some examples of music vdideos by famous Spike Jonze is an American director, producer and actor, whose work includes music videos, commercials, film and television. As he works on films and television shows, he often uses the entertainment factor for his videos to make them watchable.  He often works with independent bands and creates music videos that put them on the map.

Here is the video for the single if you want to watch it. I will keep this on my blog so I can refer to the good and bad points of it.

Coursework Mind Map

Here is a mind map showing the ideas that I had for Brief One. I chose Brief One because it will allow to me to experiment with collective identity. Many of my ideas are centred around relationships and people and therefore this would allow me to show my ideas in relation to those of other music video makers.
