Fidlar- got no money
- Video could be a mixture of both conceptual and performance based, possibly every time the song returns to the chorus,
- Camera could follow character/singer from in front on a journey (on a bicycle or walking) while they sing.
- The song is in the surf rock genre, which has come from surf culture, a stereotype of surfers is their ‘laid-back’ personalities, to relate to this, parts of the videos could consist of such behaviour, and the surfer culture could be conveyed through mise en scene and the actors actions.
- The high tempo of the song may mean that we should have a high cutting rate within the music video.
- The start of the song consists of roughly recorded dialogue, during this bit, we could use an affect that would make it look like we were using an older vhs-style camcorder. This part could be filmed to create the illusion that the person holding the camera is the one who says the dialogue, and the audience get a first person view through the camera.
- Due to the high-tempo of the song, parts could be recorded and fast-forwarded, this could add a comical aspect to our video, as people generally find actions like dancing amusing when shown at a higher speed.
The Strokes- Machu Picchu
- As the siren like sound takes place at the start, there could be a number of cuts going closer and closer to the artists until the sound stops, then
- At 20 seconds, the singers voice comes into the track in a very sudden way, his presence on the camera could do the same. As his voice becomes heard on the track, he could walk into the shot (an extreme close-up on the microphone on a stand)
- From 1:22 to 1:30, every time the guitar reaches the end of its riff, there could be a cut to another band member performing their instrument alone
Killers – I can’t stay
- There is a very strong narrative in this song about a decision that someone must make about going home or not, we feel that we could convey this narrative in an extremely graphic way, and we feel that the audience may be able to relate to this, as the concept of home is clearly one that everyone recognises.
- The use of instruments such as steel drums are generally associated with cultures such as that of Hawaii which is iconic for its sunny weather, sun is also a recurring theme within the lyrics of this song. We believe that this could be personified; a intertextual references to such culture could be made.
- A story is told through the lyrics, many infer that it is about a man discovering he has a child that he was previously unaware of, and we believe that due to the fact that this is a common theme amongst popular television shows (especially soaps). For this reason, if we were to retell such a story within our production, the audience may relate to this on a personal scale which may enhance the audience’s general view towards our production.
