Idea 1: Scarlet - In This Moment

• Link to song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ko1-DLazPRQ

In This Moment

• An alternative metal band formed in 2005 • Similar to Bring me the Horizon, Asking

Alexandria and Bullet For My Valentine.• Lead singer is a girl and it is one of the few

metal band which has female singer.

Overlook of Music Video

• Performance and narrative cuts• Quite violent and sudden cuts (metal

music)

Description of Music Video: Performance

• Outdoor and raining • A lot of sudden cuts and close ups with

violent camera switching angles• Similar to this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9sTQ0QdkN3Q

• Always cut back and forth from performance to narrative.

Description of Music Video: Narrative

• 1 guy and 1 girl stuck in a room with a dead body• They just killed and mutilated a body and is freaking out

of what to do• A lot of sudden cuts and close-up slow-mo of the

partner’s face showing psychopathy• RED BACKGROUND LIGHTS WHILE CLOSE UPS• Also behind close up shot of the person holding knife

and blood dripping and those kind of shots• The story progresses of how they tried to get rid of the

body

Stylistic Elements

• RED BACKGROUND LIGHTS- for close-up narrative

• LOTS OF SUDDEN CUTS• Outdoor rain machine (if possible)

How does it fit?• Band image: Hardcore rock which means

the target audience would enjoy violence, blood etc.

• The track itself conveys about bleeding and risking their lives meaning which will go well with the narrative of the music video

Idea 2: South Side Suicide- Suicideboys

• https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PW6Wvg_fxAQ

Suicide Boys

• Suicide Boys is a rap duo based in New Orleans

• Similar artists includes Machine Gun Kelly, Asap Rocky and Kanye West (not really)

Overlook of Music Video

• 2 guys rapping with no narrative• Rapping in different urban locations around

London

Description of Music Video: Performance

• Long and slow cuts showing different locations

• Some shots may include the rappers with some friends, smoking a cig and just living their routine life

Description of Music Video: Narrative

• No plot narrative but the shot can be cut back and fourth of the actual rapping and the routine of their lives.

Stylistic Elements

• Slow and very drowsy cuts• Urban• No sudden cuts

How does it fit?• Band image: rappers which their ideology

would be gangster-like as well as rebellious in which correlates with the idea of urban and streety

• Long and drowsy cuts to emphasise the beats and focus more on the rapping instead.

Idea 3: Beatophone - Caravan Palace

• https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tY1YKHSTIi0

Caravan Palace• French Electro-swing band based in Paris• Formed in 2005, first album released in

Overlook of Music Video

• Narrative based in an office• Performance and narrative cuts

Description of Music Video: Performance

• Singer wearing dress with other male band member wearing dress

• Located in an empty office with desks in the background

Description of Music Video: Narrative

• No plot narrative• Every time there are no vocals, shows each

different band member trashing the office- throwing papers on the floor and flipping desks

• Totally wreck the office

Stylistic Elements

• Slow-mo and sudden cuts• A lot of cuts from different angles• Similar to Flashlight:

How does it fit?

• A lot of instruments including percussionist meaning there will be a lot of beats- making it fit
