As the first step to coming up with ideas for our A2 Pop Video, I looked up different songs I would like to use for it. Not only do we have to like the song, we also have to make sure the video treatment for it is going to be different from the original one.
The initial idea I came up with was to have three different narratives that seem completely incoherent however towards the end of it, they all turn out to be linked.
The first narrative concept that I had was to have it set in a shelter in a war zone and perhaps have the start of a love story between a young boy and girl.
The second narrative was to have a man at a wedding altar, waiting for her fiancé to turn up.
The third narrative would include a man sitting on a bench in real time, while the background (maybe a street) behind him would be fast forwarded.
Towards the end of the video, we would find out that the people in all three narratives are the same, however they are in different stages of their life.
I really like the song Open Your Eyes by Snow Patrol, and I was keen on designing a video based on this song. The current video for this song is a footage from a French film called C'etait un Rendevous. It consists of a car driving around Paris throughout the song until a man comes out of his car to meet his girlfriend at the end of it.
The song Zombie by the Cranberries is another good one, however it didn't match the concept I had in mind and so it had to be ruled out eventually.
Another concept I had, was to have the whole music video in the theme of a comic book. Real characters could either be animated to look like a comic book character or the narrative could actually be a comic book film.
The song Bulletproof by La Roux would be a good song choice for this concept because it is quite upbeat, energetic and fun.
Their current video might be similar to the one I have in mind because it focuses around a unique visual concept - in this case the special effects with the maze-like set. However, the actual concept is different.
