Song: The Gambler
Artist: fun.
Album: Aim & Ignite
Idea: Music video all in one location; a large, museum-like room. The song tells the story of a couple’s life together, which is represented illustratively in the video as we see their story unfold as if the snapshots of their life are an exhibit in a museum. Minimal editing as the characters are just moving from place to place, changing only costumes and props. Steadicam.
Links to: Animal Love by Charlene Kaye. This music video is all in one take, relying on the action and the mise-en-scene to create an exciting visual.
Song: Starring Role
Artist: Marina & the Diamonds
Album: Electra Heart
Idea: Amplified relationship between lyrics and visual. The video tells the story of an actress. Hint of deeper message of celebrity culture.
Links to: If I Were A Boy by Beyonce. This video has action before the song begins, which we intend to do- an award ceremony for ‘best supporting actress’ to introduce the idea of ‘starring role.’ This video also has a message, one of gender inequality.
Song: Dark Blue
Artist: Jack’s Manequinn
Idea: Video uses an amplified relationship between lyrics and visual, using a ‘dark blue’ theme: blue dress, sky at night, swimming pool. The singer of the video is also the one who the action takes place around, combining the ‘meat’ of the video- lip sinching- with the narrative of the video, a suggestion of a love story (narrative fuzz).
