Ideas!!!

Right I have some ideas for a music video. I have been looking on a website for ideas and watching the music channels for some inspiration. The website i hav been looking on is:



http://www.stylusmagazine.com/articles/weekly_article/stylus-magazines-top-100-music-videos-of-all-time4.htm



Basically its there opinion of the top 100 music videos and has all of the videos on the site for u to watch.

Other Videos which gave us ideas:

Brand New: Sic Transit Gloria... Glory Fades









The Verve: Bittersweet Symphony





Inme: I Wont Let Go






So our first thoughts have been basically to to have a close up of someone about to play the song on there ipod, and then its a point of view shot of him walking down the street and basically events unfold when he is walking. we will try and make it look like one shot, but if that doesnt work we will hav to hav different types of shots to add it all together. The Verve video really is the influence but the idea, of someone controlling everyone is a pretty cool idea as well. the inme video shows again somebody walking and events happening with a bit of performance with it which is a classic convention of that genre.

Me, Az, and Andy seem to have found a song (Dykeenies - Pick you up) which fits the video well. I think that the video idea suits an indie song very well. But i think ed still wants to have a look at other possible songs to see if there is any other song which goes better.

Basically if you have any ideas what else could happen or would like to expand on our initial idea, plz tell us!!!

yep all pretty nicely summed up really (apart from grammar mistakes lol)!we were also going to upload the UNKLE video featuring Thom Yorke just cos we thought it was sooooooo cool!and also we are trying to upload the song to see if other people think it is the right sort of song to use with this video. all sounds good to me we just need to overcome creative differences lol!

Well this all sounds like a good project so far. Nice choice in video style seen it done before in a video i think.

Good luck with it all
