Potential Idea

Pinks Love Song



At first i thought about doing a upbeat song which would enable us to do a dance video however after thinking about it more i realised i liked the idea of doing a video wich is more narrative based. I think that this would be easier to do with a slower song and therefore because i love this song i suggested it to my group. A positive point to doing this song is that it is short enough and it hasnt been released meaning there is no music video for it already.

Idea For The Video To This Song

I thought of having a girl writing her diary as the main idea to the video as the lyrics are about writing a song. to cut up this image there would be different shots of the same girl with different boyfriends who have let her down or broken her heart. However when the mood and the lyrics (in terms of topic) changes mood we could have clips of her and the one she loves as the lyrics suggest a 'happily ever after'

Audience


  1. The Target Audience: it would be for a female audience as they generally like love songs and because they can relate to the lyrics of the song. the age for those females would be teens upwards as thats when you start gettin interested in the opposite sex. couples would also be quite an important audience as well
  2. this song/video would be liked by girls/woman who have different tastes as it is a very nutral kind of song. It isnt specifically linked to a genre however they may be fans of pink and other artists like kelly clarkson and soulful artists like lemar

Beyonce 'Green Light'



  1. It was directed by Melina and Beyoncé and is a r'n'b/funk video
  2. The lyrics and visuals are illustrative eg:
  • on the line 'Like a perm that's been left too long' she acts as if shes combing her hair
  • on '2 millions' she has to fingers up
  • green boxes are on the screen during the chorus
  • ends with a green screen

3. Illustrative:

  • cuts to the beat
  • band shown esp at the end of the video focusing on the brass instruments and the drums
  • the bridge of the song is a lot slower and here theres no dancing just beyonce lying on a life size sign

4. There are constantly visual hooks throughout the video

5. Scopophilia

6. The music video was inspired by Robert Palmer's music video Addicted to Love and Madonna's Human Nature. her dancing infront of the band remindes me of Amerie's Onte Thing video

7. Mostly concept and performance based...there is no narrative within the video
