Music Video Planning - ideas

Our initial idea involved narrative and performance aspects, perhaps interconnecting them at some point.

  • The narrative would be shot in a black and white/sepia tone in an old style classroom; this would contrast with the performance shots as these would be shot in vivid colour to link with the 80's indiepop genre.
  • The narrative would basically be following the lyrics, a guy trying to get a girl's attention. However towards the end there would be twist to do with the girl cheating on him but in an unpredictable way so it's not too cliché .
  • The performance shots would include views of the crowd, at a gig and close-up's of instruments being played. We thought of starting the song with speakers/amps being plugged in, guitars being plugged in, drumsticks being picked up etc, and on the last beat of the song, a shot of a lead being pulled out, before fading/cutting to black.
  • We decided to have the titles and some lyrics, on a blackboard, in the classroom, perhaps using stop motion or using a teacher to write them on the blackboard.
  • In order to link the performance with the narrative, we thought the guy and the girl could attend a gig when a band are playing, so that we're using other locations outside the classroom.
