California Daze – Peace
·
This slow paced track is very intimate, a singer
could engage with the audience very easily through a mime.
·
A concept of nostalgia, induced by a
retrospective mise-en-scene (costume / location).
·
Slow motion effects, perhaps of band members in
cars.
·
Comic backing vocal choir.
·
Easily imitate/have footage reflecting heavily
on lyrical interpretation – love story
·
Heavy transitions with cymbals could bring cuts
on these beats, drawing the music and visuals together.
Something Good – Alt-J
Group performance shots would be easy due to
easily definable instrumentation
· Cuts on different sections (verse/ pre chorus/chorus).
·
Video would have a positive energy and lens
flare/lighting effects would be used for transitions.
·
Natural imagery would fit the track, for
instance rock sculptures and lake scenes.
·
Performance aspect could be a live version of
the track acoustically, without audience
·
The track would work with sporting/energetic imagery too (running/skating/rollerblading)
Crack Rock – Frank Ocean
A strong narrative could follow the story of a
crack addict as a conjunct video, reflecting heavily on lyrics – and footage
matching few sound effects heard (gunshot).
·
Grim, dull town setting would be perfect to
follow the main protagonist
·
The R&B track has a 90s feel, and so a
retrospective feel could be created through costume. Reflection on other videos
by this artist could be done, with the idea of VHS transitions between shots
possibly being used.
·
Electric piano beginning could involve slow
motion piano playing (perhaps playing double speed and slowing footage down).
·
Band version of track could feature band members
playing each instrument, with heavy prominence
on singer.
·
Lyrical annotations and text could appear
throughout video, perhaps more importantly during the main hook (of the song
title).
