(answer these in as much detail as you can – it is an initial ideas process so do not worry if some ideas are incomplete. Once you have completed this send to Mr Welch and copy and put on your blog under the heading ‘Initial Proposal’

 

Overview of music video idea (this could include potential song choices and initial ideas)

Lonely Town - Vulfpeck

What sort of music video is it? (eg: Performance/narrative/mixed approach)

A mixture of performance and shots that reflect the lyrics of the music. Similar aesthetic to vulfpecks music videos. Basic, to the point, showing the band members performing In studio (usually a basement), for the performance side.

 

Tell me more about your video and why it will work well for this song

The song is upbeat so the video will be fast paced with shots that represent what the lyrics are saying.

The lyrics are about a man who lives on his own in a town, making him the mayor. I think that it symbolises the effect of being alone and depressed. It can feel like you're alone and like you don't belong. 

What kinds of genre conventions would we expect to see? What existing music videos or media texts will you be taking your inspiration from?

I intend to make the video in a 70’s and 80’s funk style. Similar to Vulfpecks music videos, namely “Dean town” and “Cory Wong” for the performance side of the video.

How will your music video fulfil the requirements of the NEA brief? +

?

 

Who is the audience for your band/artist/music video? What do they like, do? What sort of attitudes, values and beliefs might they have and how will your video reflect these?

 

 

 

 

 

Tell me about the equipment, personnel and locations you are going to need to create this

I will most likely use the music rooms at school as instruments are needed for the performance in the video

I will most likely be recording the video on my phone as I have a decent camera and it is much more convenient than using a dslr all the time, it also allows me to be spontaneous with my footage and record anywhere I see fit.

What sort of organisational tasks will you do to make sure you can achieve this?

Seek permission to use certain rooms and parts of the school as a lot of areas are restricted due to year group bubble. Fortunately, the music department is part of the sixth from bubble.

 

What issues or challenges do you predict facing when making this video?

Ensure no covid rules are broken regarding social distancing and mask wearing

 

 

 

How will your website link to these ideas? What extra content may you have on your website? How will the artist be promoted and/or represented?

I will create a teaser video for a future album release to put on my webiste and social pages as extra content.
