The song I have chosenformy musicvideoisLabrinth’s ‘Jealous’. Myoriginal choice fora song was
goingto be ‘Photograph’byEd Sheeran.The reasonIoptedagainstthissongwas because itdidn’t
have the pace I wanted.Iwanteda veryslow songand althoughitdoesofferaslowerbeat,jealous
seemedtofitmycriteriamore.
I also like the meaningbehindthe song.There isaveryclearmeaningthatI am sure the artist
meantfor itto have howeverthere isadifferenttwistthatI am choosingtofollow.The original
meaningthatismost well knownisthe ideathatthe man inthe song islustingaftera love thathas
lefthimtobe withsomeone else.HoweverafterwatchingThe XFactor a contestantcame onand
explainedhe seesthe songas someone rememberingsomeonethathaspassedaway.Althoughabit
of a sadderwayto viewit;I like the ideathatpeople will have tothinkalittle hardertounderstand
the meaning.
I wantmy videotobe strictlynarrative based;thisisbecause Ifeltasif there wasa performance
elementinthe videoitmightbreakthe emotional connectionbetweenthe actorsandthe audience
that I wantto holdonto desperately.The ideaIhave behindthe videoisthatanolderman islooking
througha scrapbookof photosof himand hiswife intheiryoungeryears.The photographthen
transformsinto3 differentscenesandthenastime goeson the wife startsto fade.Thisiswhenthe
audience realiseshe haspassedaway.
The coloursand themesIhave for the videoare subtle.The coloursIwant to gofor verybasictones
such as nude,black,white.Thisisinregardstothe make-up,boy’sclothing,propsandsettings.The
theme howeverare the flashbackswill be setinthe 50’s.This youngerrelationshipisactually
inspiredbymygrandparentwhichiswhyI thoughtitwouldbe a sentimental touchtohave my
granddadstar as the olderman.I wantthe youngeractor to reflecta JamesDeantype character and
the girl to highlightRitaHayworth.
