The document proposes a music video concept for the song "Someone New" by Hozier that portrays the theme of love. The concept involves a guardian angel making people fall in love with someone new every day, showing old relationships ending as new ones form. This links to the song's lyrics about falling in love "just a little ol' little bit, everyday with someone new." The narrative would follow multiple romantic stories and portray lovers as opposites to create contrast. Close-ups and two-shots would show the relationships growing in line with the lyrics and music's emotional themes.
2. Themes and Narrative
◦ We have based this idea upon the lyrics of the song, meaning we want to
create a video which links with the lyrics.
◦ We have chosen to portray the theme of love.
◦ The idea is based around everyday people ‘falling in love with someone new
everyday’ this links with the lyrics.
◦ This will cause an emotional link with the audience as it may be something that
some people can link with.
3. Imagery
◦ The lyrics of the song go “ I fall in love just a little ol’ little bit, everyday with
someone new” and because of this, as a group we came up with the idea of
a guardian angel, making people fall in love with new people, seeing old
relationships come to an end, as new ones form.
◦ We can link our theme to the song as the song lyrics are based on love, using
many two shots and extreme close ups we can show the relationships as they
grow.
4. Narrative Ideas
◦ We began with the original idea of love and worked from there. Upon looking
further into the lyrics and hearing the line ‘everyday with someone new’ we
came up with the idea to do a romantic love story of multiple people. This fits
with Andrew Goodwins music conventions, relationships to lyrics and visuals.
◦ We then thought about the idea of a guardian angel coming into place to
bring the two people together, this would make the video more interesting as
it brings an element of mystery into the narrative.
◦ As well as this we thought it would be interesting to portray those who are
falling in love as complete opposites as this would create a contrast and
would act against stereotypes.
