concept

2. INTRODUCTION
Every music video has a different concept. It is the style or an idea of a music
video. A concept varies from lyrics to lyrics and genre to genre. It is the idea
which helps to show the meaning of the video. There are different concepts of
a video which can be shown in the form of narrative, performance or an
animated vide. I have short listed two types of concepts for my music video,
one is a performance based idea and the other is a narrative + performance
based.

3. MUSIC VIDEO CONCEPT #1
The first concept for my instrumental based music track is based on a
performance based video, In which I will show the band performing in their
jam room where the band will be playing the track and shots will be taken
while their performance. I have planned to use variety of camera shots and
angles, such as, mid shots, over the shoulder shots, bird’s eye view, high and
low angle shots etc. As genre of the song is Rock, the makeup and costumes
will be according to that and a dark theme will be used.

4. MUSIC VIDEO CONCEPT #1
My first concept is performance based and will be showing the band playing in
their jam room. The opening of the video will show the arrangements of all the
instruments which include guitars, drums, bass etc this shot is followed by the
entry of the band in which different transitions will b used. Moreover, while the
band is performing through out the song various shots will be taken and
different actions made by band are going to be captured in the form of a
video. the cheering and laughing of the band members will conclude my
video.

11. MUSIC VIDEO CONCEPT 2
The second concept for my instrumental based music track is based on a
narrative + performance based video. In which will be showing the band
performing as well as acting. The feel of the track will be depicted through
footage. As no lyrical content is presented in the track, there is no compulsion
on the idea of the footage. Several ideas can be used in the video, but the
idea I have pinned down is that the band is traveling in a car and is looking for
a new day, hope, and life. Since they are saddened upon their lives and wish
to live it again in a surpassing way.

12. The second concept includes a performance and narrative based video. The start
of the video will be showing the past experiences of the four band members
who have gone through many hardships in the early years and are broken
down by their lives. The introduction will show the tragic life of each band
member separately. In the second scene i will b shooting these four band
members meeting and having a walk together. This is where the music track
will take a start. After that they move to their jam room and start to play
music. I will conclude my video by showing some clips which are meant to
compare their past and the present. That how tragic their past was as
compared to their lively and joyful present.

Pakistan) and the street outside the studio.
