HR: Music video ideas

Artist: Marina & the Diamonds
Song: Lies
Album: Electra Heart



Ideas

·         starts with lying on a big double bed on her own as the camera zooms out from bird’s eye view

·         Montage of her on different positions on the bed in first verse, she could be tapping her fingers, thinking of this boy etc. some lip sing (in “real time”).

·         As chorus starts she gets up as if she’s about to start on a project and walks through an archway to a garden, some lip singing as the camera tracks her, reminiscing by flashbacks of her on a swing and on a bench writing a poem or music in a notepad - writes the lyrics of the song in some places

·         2nd verse is a dream state of how she wanted her relationship to be with a boy but quickly flashes back to reality of what it was really like with him. Cuts this up by lip singing of her on bench and swing

·         2nd chorus is of them having an repeat of the fight in the middle of the park that made the not friends anymore - shouting, she pushes him, he walks away ripping up on of her poems, she cries - goes back to her bedroom of her in the same crying position sitting on her bed. lip singing “don’t wanna know, don’t wanna know” while she’s crying

·         Last section of the song is her sorting herself out and moving on from him - starts a big art project, splattering multi coloured paint on walls as if she’s getting her anger out, he comes along on the line “can’t let you go” and joins in with her with black paint. She turns around and they start throwing paint at each other. The song ends by them both looking at the splattered white wall.
 
 

 Artist: Ed Sheeran
Song: Grade 8
Album: +


·         Performance based

·         Starts with Ed Sheeran playing his guitar and fades to the other boy playing his guitar in a big empty hall. He packs up his guitar and walks home seeing different posters of local gigs and goes along to one which is ed sheeran’s.

·         He gets inspired and starts to practise anywhere he can. He is then given a business card by a mysterious stranger (you don’t see his face, just a close up of his hand) with a phone number on it.

·         He calls it and it is an offer to be a supporting artist. He doesn’t know who the artist he is supporting but he goes along anyway. He’s on the train listening to music on his iPod.

·         He is then backstage waiting to go on, he starts to perform and the final chorus is when Ed sheeran surprises him by starting to perform with him. He is smiling, bemused of what happened and the song ends when he is hugging his idol, you see him mouth “thank you“.
 
 
Artist: Marina & the Diamonds
Song:  The State of Dreaming
Album: Electra Heart
 
Ideas

·         Greek mythology

·         Starts with a ped up from earth up to a cloudy vision of heaven until you see marina sitting cross legged on the clouds dressed in a classic Greek toga with golden arches in classic Greek statues of the different god and goddesses.

·         These are made of stone but turn into humans in the first chorus. You see Zeus turning them into humans on the line “My life is a play”

·         Different Greek stories are acted out: hades and Persephone will be shown looking down from the clouds into the underworld which is fiery and full of lava, The minotaur who is charging at the cloudy figurines of Greeks that he killed in the past, medusa standing crossed arms with snakes coming from her hair etc.

·          Marina is walking around this environment drinking in the stories, lip singing at appropriate times.

·         The song ends with her coming down from heaven stretched out like a cross with her eyes closed back to the meadow she was lying in looking up at the clouds. This represents the vision she just had.
