Original Idea - Media Music Video

1st Scene
Fade into knight with sword almost impaled into the ground, slow Mo of knight standing up and standing with sword getting ready to fight.
2nd Scene
Switch to knight over shoulder shot to show an approaching person, thief looking person that is wielding a sword also.
3rd Scene
Slow Mo walk around anticipating battle. Shots on both of the people and their points of views.
4th Scene
Knight swings his sword at the rogue but the rogue dodges and the way. This then leads into a flashback to give the story some back-story.
CHORUS
This will continue the fight scene with slow motion being the main feature in this fight to fit the theme and pace of it.
5th Scene
The general idea at this point onwards is to introduce back story and not have the entire video a fight scene but only leave that at the chorus.

The general plan is to add a side story involving another character maybe a seller or a merchant. The idea would be the warrior character would start making a friendship with this character from selling him new things and the warrior going out and using these maybe tools to do things etc.

This will then lead on to the thief holding up the shop to steal money or killing the shop keeper.

Analysis - Eminem - The Monster (Explicit) ft. Rihanna



Movement, Narrative, Inter-textuality and Artist/Band


The video contains alot of conventions that are synonymous with the pop/hip-hot genre. The short cuts are in tempo with the music itself. A vast amount of flashing clips are in this video to display the angry that is expressed in the song lyrics and the video itself. This is then cancelled out by the clips of the little girl on the TV. The director has done this to display the artist looking back on himself (family videos), to bring a further meaning to a song.

The narrative is extremely important in music videos such as this as they are displaying a bit of their life/past. The premise of doing this is mainly to express themselves as an artist and/or appealing to their fans.

Inter-textuality is key in the production of this video. Flashbacks to past music videos and home movies add a personal touch to this music video and is what the music video itself is based around as a whole. This is then met with lyrics in the song referring to the artists past and showing his past through video.

This is another thing that the artist frequently does in his work. Refers back to past videos and songs. This is also the same for Rihanna the female vocalist. She refers to Eminem's past instead however as she is not known to do this in her music videos.





General Idea 1 - Draft

1st scene- Fade into knight with sword almost impaled into the ground, slowmo of knight standing up and standing with sword getting ready to fight

2nd scene - Switch to knight over shoulder shot to show an approaching person, roguish looking person that is wielding a sword also.

3rd scene - slowmo walk around anticipating battle. shots on both of the people and their points of views

4th scene - Knight swings his sword at the rogue but the rogue dodges and the way. This then leads into a flashback to give the story some back-story.

Chorus from then on - Action scenes (fight scene)

Verse - (story scene, why these two are fighting)


House Genre Mood Board

Phildel - Moonsea - Disappearance Of The Girl - New Idea For Our Music Video

This idea is a bit unconventional but it has to be my favourite idea altogether. My idea is to have a fight scene that is set in a fantasy-medevil setting. Although difficult I believe it will pay off if it comes together.

When I was thinking about this it could be set in slow motion with the occasional sped up bit. Maybe a knight and a roguish thief type character in costume fight with swords in slow motion.
This will follow a serious undertone with one of them dying in the end and the video being the winning party walking away from the losing dead body on the floor.

If this idea cannot come together the idea could be altered into modern times however I do believe a fantasy would be better. This might not be conventional due to costs which is why there were another suggestion.

An inspiration of this video came from me watching this a2 media video:


Debating Different Music Video Idea - Inspired By Other Media Productions

This idea essentially follows the same premise. A chase of some sort across a field or through a forest or some people having fun around town and getting into trouble.

The video will be light-hearted. Colourful and fun. This will not have a serious undertone.

Another idea I have been considering is people playing around and throwing water balloons then one accidentally miss fires and hits someone. This then leads to the person being angry and chasing the people with the balloons. The entire video will show the chase in a humorous way inspired by this video:




We could also be inspired by this video and show a robbery and a policeman attempting to get it back. Following this, I believe the idea of two people angering another and leading to a chase would be a great idea for the video and be entertaining to create.

She Wolf (Falling To Pieces) ft. Sia - New Idea For Our Music Video

An idea for the group that I have come up with is creating a video that includes David Guetta's songs. The songs that would be considered would be:

The idea of this song would be to film someone running through the forest with another person chasing that person. Throughout the chorus it will show the chase through the forest with a man chasing him with a gun, some areas of this will be slow-mo or slowed down to an extent.

When the verse is on it will show the events leading up to the chase. This will show maybe some involvement with an addiction or gambling leading to someone trying to kill the person. Another idea would be someone chasing this person down due to them displaying supernatural abilities which could be a reference to other David Guetta videos such as Titanium.



Another idea is the using the same idea but a different song. This could be to the song, Titanium. The idea behind this idea is the fact that it could be described as a homage to the original video.
