Our Initial ideas:
In our music video we
have the idea that instead of having someone just singing by themselves we want
to choose a song that has a lot of meaning behind it so we can include stories
of important things or subjects that are happening in the world and having lots
of different people in the music video. Our key theme when looking for a song
to use is equality to bring people together as we can come up with lots of
stories that are happening in the world that we can add to the meaning of the
song. Some examples of our song ideas are:
- Sia – Breathe Me – Our reasons behind having this song as a choice is that we both saw the song in the film “Cyber bully”. The song is extremely powerful and the words have a meaning behind them of which we think would be a good way of getting a story out to make the audience connect to the song. The song struck to us as a powerful song which related to the themes that we wanted to create.
- The Black Eyed Peas – Where is the Love – This struck to us as a song that would be really good to use as things that are happening in the world are bad. Especially, terrorist attack which are happening more and more often and showing that there isn’t love between all people. This made us think of different ideas of going to these places and holding up signs saying “Where is the Love” to show that people should all love to relate to the lyrics in the song which are very powerful to do with this.
After some thought we
have decided to choose the song “Where is the Love” as we have lots of
different ideas like going to London that would look really good.
Some rough ideas of songs we are interested in using are:
Black
Eyed Peas – “Where is the Love” – We originally looked at using the
original song as it is more upbeat but we were struggling with what to make as the
story and meaning behind the song. We felt that the meaning behind the song is what we wanted but we wanted something to really connect to the audience and make them feel lots of emotion. I decided to look on YouTube to see if there is a slower version that has been made of the song. I found the new remake of the song which
was slower and more emotional. I showed it to Alicia and we decided that this
remake of the song was better and we could think of more ideas of stories that
we could use to connect to the audience.
We have looked at the updated music video which
was released in 2016 and saw how they have changed the meaning of the song to
include things that are happening in the world. The music video made both Alicia
and I very emotional and we started to look at how we could use this video as a
template and do something similar to this. We started to think of the
significant things that have happened in the world recently and came up with
the terrorist attacks that have happened in London and the fire that happened
at Grenfell Tower. We then thought about going up to London and filming at these
places putting flowers in memory of the people that lost their lives. Looking
at the music video we realised that they have used black and white to make it
even more emotional for the audience. We are interested in doing this as it
connects the audience to what is happening even more. In the remake of the
music video they have used green screens to show close ups of different artists
to make the audience really connected to the emotion that they’re singing
about. Alicia had the idea of having some of the terrorist attacks happening in
the background when we have some people singing.
