Narrative/performance: Brief
Summary
Narrative
because the
lyrics would be
easy to link to
the storyline of
him trying to
move on from
his girlfriend
and saying
good bye and
good riddance
to all of the
hassle that she
caused. There
would also be
elements of of
performance as
the shots would
change
backwards and
forwards to the
story and the
band playing
their
instruments.
Performance
based video
because it
would be the
band
performing,
as it would
look like their
world tour
and it would
be different
performances
of them.
As the music
video is going
to be based on
a dream I have
decided to
incorporate a
story within the
dream where it
emphasis the
idea of being
alone and
having no one
and the power
of alcohol and
cigarettes is
taking over, I
think that this
is appropriate
to the genre of
indie rock as
this is seen in
many existing
music videos. I
also believe
that I would
make the
person
sleeping in the
dream sleep
talk the lyrics
to add an
element of
There will be
elements of
performance as
you will have
shots of the
singer singing
into the mic and
playing the piano.
There will also be
narrative of a boy
wanting a girl but
she’s going for
someone else
who doesn’t care
about her like he
does.

2. performance
and it shows
that he is
worried
because
someone only
sleeps talk is
they are
worried or
trying to
escape from
something
which is
suggested in
the lyrics.
Concept:
Brief Summary
A concept/
narrative
music video
where you
would have a
montage of
photos of the
band/ artist
and you
would then
go into the
image so that
it comes to
life. you
would
then come
out of that
image and go
into the next
and so forth. I
think that this
is fitting into
the genre of
music of indie
rock, and I
think that it
would look
best in black
and white to
give an indie
vibe. It's a
concept
music video
because the
photographs
become alive
from a freeze
frame. And it
is a
performance
based video
because it
For the
concept side of
the music idea
I have decide
to make the
whole video as
a dream
because it is
repeated in the
lyrics therefore
i will attempt to
make it seem
like a dream by
having a
border of mist
in each shot
and everything
quite slow
placed so that
every action is
emphasised as
it a dream
seems like real
life so i want it
to be slow
paced so that
there are little
clues which the
audience only
know it's a
dream.
The concept of
the music video
will be a cartoon
style because the
song is very
upbeat and
sounds like a
song you would
hear at the end of
an animated film.
So by having the
characters
animated it will
look like a story
being told
through the song
and in the music
video. This will be
very abstract and
will make it
different to just
having the people
in the music
video filmed as
normal. By
having them in a
cartoon style it
links to the retro
theme that the
Indie genre
follows because it
will be an old
style animation.

3. would be
them
performing at
their
concerts,
their world
tour therefore
it would be
them solely
performing.
Even better if…?
Seems
incredibly cliche
I think that
maybe you
should consider
making it
slightly different
so that it stands
out from the
other videos.
Maybe
incorporating a
concept idea so
that it creates a
hybrid music
video rather
than just
sticking to the
one music
video style.
In
continuation
with the
performance
themed
music video I
think that we
could begin
by showing
the band
members in
the dressing
room and the
preparation
before the
band going
on stage.
The storyline is
quite
complicated
and could be
very difficult to
portray to an
audience.
Maybe simplify
the idea to
make it more
of an impact
for the people
to get the
message
behind it
otherwise they
won’t
understand it.
If you were to
incorporate a
narrative which
links in with the
lyrics.
Something to celebrate?
Fits the music
video as well as
the genre
because, indie
rock normally
goes for a love
story music
video therefore
fitting in very
well.
The idea
works really
well and i
think it will be
really
effective.
It is a really
powerful
message to
convey and the
dream idea
would work
really well.
I really like the
concept idea as
you have thought
about linking it to
the song itself.
Question?
Instead of
talking about
the lyrics
literally could
you not
interpret it
Could you
have added a
narrative to
the video?
What is the
importance of
the dream? So
why is he in a
dream in the
first place?
Could you have
made it partly
cartoon so that
you have clips of
real life and
cartoon so that
really extreme
things are shown
as a cartoon and
the simple day to
day live is shown
in real.

4. Similar ‘real text’ to
narrative/performance?
