IDEA 7: VR/ Video Game element

This is a great example of convergence, where a fake 80's style 8 bit video game trailer is used as a music video
...
...
From this we have had the idea of incorporating video games into our music video:

• Performance
• Using characters in game to play instruments 
• Character avatars dressed as band

Can create bands within sims

• Story
• Video starts with couple playing video games together
• Camera "jumps" into tv or computer
• In game avatars act out narrative of the bad breakup
• when camera comes back to real life the game is a exact copy of their reality with a bad breakup/relationship

Mise-en-scene:

• Frames on wall in sims
• Posters of welshly arms
• Watching music videos on TV of WA
• Can i play with madness
• Welcome to the jungle

Build a environment for our couple

Possible Games:

• Sims
• Skyrim
• Minecraft

Ideas for Audience interaction:

• Fans can design avatars 
• Competition - winner can be in next video

IDEA 6: Narrative and Performance Pitch

...
Narrative:

• A couple (potentially homosexual) 
• Going through a bad breakup and reflecting on the good times together
• There is a socialist realist aspect to the genre 

Performance:

• Have derelict rundown area
• 4 piece band
• Indie style clothing
• Have Indie performance from the band, not jumpy and happy but a bit more siniste

IDENT ideas:

This is our initial idea for our ident:

Fr13tag Media:
Jason - friday 13th
German - sausage and beer

Jason trying to eat a sausage and drink beer - spills beer down him

IDEAS 3: Potential Tracks + Narrative (CS)

After thinking of a narrative that involves two females part of the LGBTQ community being rejected from society and standing together to get over it, I have found some potential new tracks that could fit the narrative.

Below are the four tracks.

...

...

2. Welshly Arms - Locked

Lyrics



3. Kodaline - Follow Your Fire

Lyrics



4. Welshly Arms - Sanctuary

Lyrics




1. I think this could make a more striking video due to the pace of the song and the creativity surrounding the drums and how that can be in a performance. However there is a line "All the things I have seen and done" suggests a more mature band which will be harder to cast.

2. The pace is a bit slower which I think will make it difficult, however the violin will give a large boost for an amazing performance, and the cast can be younger which will be easier to cast.

3. Overall the lyrics directly touch the theme of a happy couple "running away". However the song is very repetitive and might lose the overall effectiveness of the music video.

4. The pace is varied and the song is not too drawn out, some of the lyrics fit exactly what the narrative is about "I see your hurt, I feel your pain" and "You are, you are safe with me". The pace and lyrics fit very well with my narrative idea.

IDEAS 2: Song ideas

Lucid Dreams - Juice WRLD

...

...
For this we have a bad breakup here the guy is dreaming about times when he was still with the girl. When he isn't sleeping he's depressed with a drug addiction
A more in depth summary can be found here

Promises - Calvin Harris ft. Sam Smith

...

...
...

...


We have made a playlist and are finding songs which we could potentially work with using a collaborative Spotify playlist
...

...

We will each add a fair few tracks, and decide on three final tracks we can use as backups. After that we will decide if we will continue with Lucid Dreams or use one of the other three we have finalised. Due to the fact that Lucid Dreams seems to be too hard to work with due to pace of the song.

Welcome to my blog

My hopes and aims for A2 media:

• Improve my production skills (editing and shooting)
• Produce a music video that pushes my creativity 
• Build on what I learnt during AS in regards to research and focus more on it in earlier stages to help for the duration of the course  

Initial ideas:

Whilst I don't currently have a song in mind I think I'm focusing more towards slower, mellow, hiphop/rap however I am still researching multiple different genres so this could change.

Initital song ideas:

Lucid Dreams - Juice WRLD

Rich and Sad - Post Malone
