Initial Ideas

Artist: TechtronicSong: Pump up the jamGenre: EDM

With a bright and colourful video this would be an excellent choice. There are no shots with instruments and the video relies largely on a matched cutting rhythm. A similar style could be replicated by wearing clothes from the 90s and a greenscreen. A good thing about dance videos is the simple formula. For this I would have the subject (dancer) centre screen carrying out a choreographed move at a fixed distance from the camera, then change locations. This is what the finished product should look like.

Madeon – Pop Culture (Dance Video)

I wanted to do a video for this song because they are local therefore getting them to appear in the video would be relatively easy. The song itself has very distinct sections which would help us when planning the different stages of the narrative within the video. The issue with this song is the lyrics aren’t poignant enough to put a visual side to.
