A Few Ideas

Ideas for our music video:

  • Making decisions at 16 which can shape your future.
  • A young girl going against the stereotype of a British 16 year old.
  • The main artist is in the shadow of the storyline e.g. Ludacris (Runaway Love)

Lil Wayne - How To Love

 We chose this video because we like the way that the young girl's life is shaped simply by the decisions she makes, and the path she decides to go down.

Good points:

  • Different path leads to different road - good vs. bad
  • Slow - it will be beneficial  in terms of lip syncing (good speed)
  • Have a lot of ideas to choose from (narrative)
Bad points:
  • Male vocalist - so it may be difficult
  • Hard to find different locations to shoot different scenes

Ludacris - Runaway Love ft. Mary J. Blige

 We chose this  video as an inspiration for our music video because we like the idea of the runaway posters and the different situations the characters are in.

Good points:
  • Female vocalist so it wont be as difficult if it was a male vocalist.
  • We can take ideas from the music video e.g. posters.
  • We also like the idea that we don't see the rapper because he's in the background and we only see the character acting (narrative)
Bad points:
  • Difficult to find a location for the video.
  • Female only sings the chorus - male dominates most of the song
  • Quite fast
