Ideas for our music video

When we first had to come up with ideas we watched a lot of music videos to try and find a source of influence. We had a fair number of ideas that we thought we could use for the performance.

The ideas we had included a performance of the artist singing the song, alongside a narrative of a boy and a girls relationship and how they are in love. The flashbacks would be of the boy and girl on dates and romantic moments.

Then another was the idea that two friends want to runaway together to get away from the world and start off fresh.

One other idea was to film props related to the theme of romance and love.

Then another idea was the use of lyrics going on as the artist performed the song, so very much like a lyric video.

Textual Analysis - Sia Chandelier

Sia Chandelier This music video is mainly well known for its choreography as this is a memorable factor, there is no lip syncing - it is just literally Maddie dancing to the meaning of the song.

Textual analysis of Toxic - Britney Spears

Britney Spears TOXIC Performance – When she is on the phone, it acts as if she is telling the story whereas the shots of her in her white suit is aimed to be more sexual and less story based. She performs every now and then in her see through suit where she dances and its quicker shots. Whereas when she’s walking on the plane its longer shots and slower crops, the shot on the plane tells more of a narrative. She is sexualised throughout the whole of the music video; however, some parts are more sexualised than others are. Shown by the costumes she is in and also movements, she is quite confident and out there, giving her a powerful image. Although the plane is filled with men she is dominant over them. Lyrics - Helps tell the story or give a general feeling or mood. Don...
