I can only describe my head as bursting with ideas, I can only see stars and fireworks descending from my brain. Over the holidays I have thought of several ideas for potential music videos.
Here are my top 2.
Paramore's 'Last Hope':
I see a girl in her room. It's all very stereotypical, with band posters, photographs and random memorabilia. By making it stereotypical, the demographic watching can relate to her.
In this video the girl is also the lead singer of the band. She has recently been
through a lot, possibly a break up in relationship, and she has lost all hope in happiness.
So she decides to do something about it. She collects objects from around her room that has something to do with her troublesome past and puts them into a small box. Items include a mix-tape (a positive item from her past), a photograph (a memory, maybe where things got turbulent) and a diary (where she's written her thought and feelings, representing the end).
After her collection, she decides she wants a clean slate, so she goes full out and starts ripping things from her bedroom wall. She texts her friends (another band member) asking if they're going to the party, to which they respond yes.
There's a steady drum beat towards the last chorus, it's at walking pace, so now we cut to her walking to the party. She goes into the field where there's her friends and band mates. The chorus is 'It's just a spark, but it's enough, to keep me going', and at the final chorus she lights a bonfire and throws her box into it but one photo. She places the photo and we as the audience can watch is disintegrate.
Everyone's having a great time, and a party-goer takes a new photo, of her and her band.
We end this video with her sticking the new photo on to her clean bedroom wall, to represent the start of something new.
Emily's Army's 'You Bit Me':
The idea to this music video is quite simple and plays with the lyrics.
'It’s cause you bit me that I wake up to be the best that I can be
And I know that there’s a venom in my bones
I just might overdose on you tonight, tonight
You bit me good'
I would focus on the above lyrics. My idea being there are supernatural creates that bite, such as vampires and werewolves. I like the thought of band members being chased and caught by that they're afraid of.
I would have innocent looking girls manipulating the band members into being the best version of themselves.
Compared to my previous idea, I would have a separate location to cut to where we just see the band playing, outside of the storyline, yet could be singing about it.
This video above has the effect of making it look old fashioned, like their genre Beach Pop.
As you can probably tell I have thought of the Paramore video in more detail and it is what I'm aiming for.
