2. 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.
Introduction
3. The first concept for my instrumental based music track is based
on a performance based video, In which I will show the band
performing at an outdoor plot, 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.

10. 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 a band member is drunk in a room and is
looking for a new day, hope, and life. Since he is saddened
upon his life and wish to live it again in a surpassing way.
