Music Video Choices

First Choice : "The hill the view and the light" (Track 4) is one of our choices. We feel we could make the video quite narrative, we imagine a girl or a variety of different girls in different situations matching the lyrics in the song such as "head lights", "flashing lights" and "rain". As there is also a male vocalist in the song as well we could base it on a love story for example when the women is singing she could be walking to go see the boy. A lot of graphics would also be quite relevant to the song. A lot of visual effects and close ups used. The screen shot above is by the same artist but in a different song, a good example of how were going to use tracking shots on the artist running.

Second Choice : "OCWD by self service" (Track 7) is a more up beat and quite grungy song compared to the others. For this music video we imagine it located at a party, with a band playing (close up on instruments) and maybe even some kind of narrative included. We then thought for when the lyrics start the main girl could be walking home (so we would be tracking) from the party in slow motion vandalizing things on the street, while quick flashbacks (use effects) from the party and the band the night before.

-The genre of this song is more rock punk in contrast to the other two.

Third Choice : "The riffle" (Track 10) is another of our choices, if we were to make a music video for this song we would make it quite surreal almost like a documentary or as if it was from a film. A lot of the lyrics are about nature and a lot of running and woods are mentioned so we quite visualize it in having shots of a girl or a child running perhaps through some woods (so here we would use panning and tracking). A good idea for this song would be to maybe document or follow a girls day in life.

- Both track 4 and 10 have quite unusual lyrics in them, this is often reflected in their music video. We are planning on using this similar technique if we decide to use on of these two videos. The style of this music is indie which normally means the videos and lyrics are quite random, and the singer normally is in direct contact with the audience, its as if the singer is singing to you. People who are into this genre would normally expect there to be a narrative and to be quite abstract and artistic.

The mise en scene in terms of location in this genre are quite surreal and everything has meaning, normally reflecting to the lyrics.
