Task 3 music pitch
- 1. Music video ideas/pitch ByEmily Humphreys
- 2. Six billion –Nothing but thieves For the idea that I think is personally strongest, I have chosen Six billion by Nothing but Thieves. I have chosen this because as you will see in the brain storm, the lyrics make way for a largely negotiated interpretation, which is something I think I have done well with, with my idea. Because the song is unaccompanied with a music video, it also helped with not being able to have preconceived ideas of what the video should look like. This has caused me to want to amplify the lyrics, which is what I will be explaining. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uBMtdaRhDMY
- 3. The video willfollow the day of male a character, that while doing so, the props and positioning of the camera will indicate to the audience that he has lost or is missing someone. This will be shown with props such as two tooth brushes, a photo of someone behind a clock like the example, and a box with a woman's name on it. The colors will be cold toned or dark, so it makes it seem like the characters life is empty, when later you realise that its because he is a psychopath. After the main character has gotten dressed in a series of short but slow mo shots focusing on the buttons or laces of boots, we will follow him as he walks down the street to get a paper, which will fade in and out so it shows him coming back the way he came back to his house, only to pass a woman who drops something as she walks by. When he gets closer we will see it’s a comb, and that he puts it in his pocket and carry's on walking. This is when we will see the shots of the items that the audience thought where a dead wife's, only to be this girl who he has stalked and taken her things as well as photos. This is where we see him get the box from under his bed and put the comb in, while taking out a picture of her and ending with a close up of his finger on her face. the editing will be to the pace of the music for most part as it’s a slower song, but when the song gets louder toward the end the editing pace will speed up as we will see this as a tipping point in the video, of that something has changed. For the setting I would make it revolve around a bedroom, with the cinematography to have a lot of dead space and close ups, to show the implied 'loss' in the video and the close ups to show the characters emotions. This video is an example of some of the shots we could use of the band in-between.
- 4. No Answers –amber run for my next idea I have chosen a song called No Answers by Amber run. I have picked this song as the lyrics can be interpreted easily with some room to make the meaning twist as the song moves towards its end. This is what I have tried to achieve in my video idea as the lyrics and the video start off as a simple story, to then lead into more context and backstory for what is actually happening or happened in the music video. I think this links well to the pace of the song too which I thin will make the video and the song compliment each other nicely https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=duh6Bpf6EcY
- 5. The scene willstart with a male character alone drinking in a dark room when there is a knock at the door, which is when the music will start. There will be close ups of his face as he see the words divorce on the paper and gets up and leaves shot to call his ex. When he phones her the scene will either flip between them or be a split screen. This is where we will see them talk on the phone, and lip synch some of the words in the song like 'no answers' and 'I always will', to show that the woman has nothing to say where as the man is still in love. It will then show the male character to be angary as he slams the phone down and pour's himself a drink. When he closes his eyes (slow-mo) it will show clips of the two of them together, mainly fighting, that’s why there is a broken cup shattering, to then end with him with his head in his hands sitting at a table, where there should be space at the end so it looks like its for her. The colors will be cold or have negative connotations in the present scenes and the past scenes will be warm but still dark to symbolize that there relationship, even when bright and happy, was toxic. There will be lots of close ups to show the small details in emotions for each character. The editing pace will be matched to the music as like the six billion song, and it will start relatively slow and then builds up, which is where the fight scenes will take place. the main themes will be how the male character is still in love with his to be ex, even though he knows he is in a toxic relationship.
- 6. Silk wolf Alice Formy final idea I have chosen Silk by Wolf Alice. For my idea I think I have taken more of an amplifying route for the video than others such as contradicting, as I think the video and the lyrics will align well with each other. This is because after looking into the song, the main story that the lyrics where telling was that the song was about a girl who was struggling with mental health issues after or while in a relationship, while my idea for the music video subverts this story to be about a girl who is in love with a friend only to find out that her friend is engaged, while also dealing with the theme of depression, to match the lyrics. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wTsN7uugtfg
- 7. This video willstart with a female character getting ready for the day. It will be implied that she is depressed or sad/tired with shots focusing on her eyes and a pill bottle. We will see her get ready like in the first video idea for six billion. There will be slow-mo shots in mainly the first part and the last part of the video, as this will show the juxtaposition between the characters daily life and how her life can carry on normally with the other person. There will be slow mo shots after she finds out her 'friend' is engaged with canted angles to show her world has changed. There will be faster shots towards the ending mixed in when the music gets louder to show her anger. The video will be non- linier as the first shot of the video will also be the last shot, as a way for the music to start and build up, and also so it keeps the viewers interest of how the character got to where she is. After we see her get dressed we will follow her as she walks down a road, to get a text to meet up with her friend, for the video to become normal pace with close ups to show how happy she is to see her friend. When she gets there, there will be canted angles and slower shots, as she sees there are two people there and not just her friend. When she get closer and shakes the persons hand, there will be a shot that shows them shaking hands to twist so we can see a engagement ring. the props will be blue bottles and have a black, white and blue color theme, to match the lyrics 'and when she sleeps she hears the blues' 'See's shades of black and white'
Editor's Notes
- #4 The basic jist of the video would be that either a man or woman (doesn’t reallhy matter) wakes upand starts their day. The mood will be sad and dark, almost depressing as the story would make it look like he has lost his wife (vise versa with different genders). There would be slow mo shots and pulling in and of focus on some shots, so it makes it seem like everything in the video is a struggle with out this other person. There will be shot like having two toothbrushes or a photo on the bed side. It will build up to him smiling at the person when they see them sitting on a bench – for you to realise that he knows this person and is staling them. For the latter shots to show how he got the items or into stalking them. Like shot in a dark room withj computer light on his face getting images of her. There will also be a shot of his feet touching the floor when he wakes up but for there to be a box under the bed labeld with a name. This will be a small feature at first but then go back to him either printing off the pictures or looking back at them so you know he is obsesed. It will end with him looking out of the window or his thumb holding the image.
- #6 It starts by the guy getting devorse papers in the post in an empty house. Sees him sitting alone with a drink. heres a knock at the door – and the music starts. He gets up and walks out the room. The shot stays as he then returns with a brown envolope, opens the curtains, and puts his drink down on the window ledge (so the room looks more bear). Comes back in time for the lyrics to start. The shot changes as there are slow mo and in and out of focus shots on his face. There will be a reverse shot when he opens the letter, of his face, a shot of the paper with devorse in there somewhere, then back to his face. He leaves the room and the ssetting changes as he sits down at one end of a table, for the shot to be come split screen between two locations, one being the guyh the other being the girl. There will be shots of the man fiddling with his wedding ring, or his leg twiching, and the girl will be dojng something else to show she is not really interseted in the covsation. Old clips inbetween them fighting to show they where happy, but in a toxic relationship
- #8 For this idea, I wanted the first shot to be the ending. The video will depict the actions of a mently un healthy person from when they wake up. It will focus on their face which will look dull with dark circles, as if she looks ill. It will show she brush her teeth and have close ups of her putting makeup on to hide this. It will follow her as she walks down the street, in darkish cloths, and will be slow as it will switch between the view of her and her POV which will be blurry. When her phone texts everything will go back to normal almost as she gets a text off of a friend that says something like 'her want to meet up, I have something important to tell you' she will smile and it will transion from one location to another as she walkinto a coffee shop or outside space for her to see her friend sitting with someone else. There will be a close up of her face as she walks there, but it gets slower and the camera will be on a canted angle. When she meets them there will be a shot of a hand shake that will turn into the main character looking at the girls hand to see she is endgaged. She will run away from this with the camera following her as she starts smashing stuff at a deserted location that has empty bottle or a bin with stuff in that will get toppled over. And will end witht the starting shot of her with mascara down her face drinking a beer.
