- 7. chosen genre of music video i prefer the experimental style of music video as i find it most interesting! performative music videos are usually heavily invested into by the record label behind the track, which we do not have for this project. i also feel that narrative music videos can easily turn cheesy if the acting performance isn't seamless. however i do feel it's important to incorporate somewhat of a storyline behind the music video, to keep the viewer engaged and understanding. i will now analyse 3 music videos which i feel inspired by and that fit the experimental yet narrative style..
- 8. my ideas.. • i want to keep my music video light hearted on the surface, but with deeper meaning when analysed. • i will have 4-6 friends portrayed in the video, two of the friends secretly dating but worried that the others will judge her • fun, upbeat tempo of a storyline established, bright colours, fish eye lens, experimental angles and different locations • more intimate side of their relationship portrayed at home • flirtatious mood hidden amongst a friendship group • ends with the couple kissing infant of their friends
