2. Song choice
Breakout by Foo Fighters
We’ve chosen this song as we feel this is a song that we will be able to create
an interesting music video too as the lyrics can be used to create a good
narrative.This song isn’t a very well known song so we thought it would be a
good one to use as not many other people would have done this song before
which makes it unique.
We have chosen the rock genre as we are both fans of rock music and
because we feel rock music is easier to do as there are drums and guitars that
can be filmed for the performance part of the video.
3. Narrative ideas
For our video we’ve chosen to do 70% narrative and 30%
performance.
We’ve chosen our narrative based on the lyrics which imply that
someone is getting angry and then flips out as the lyrics are
‘breakout’. We thought that we could show things winding a guy
up through the verse and when it gets to the chorus he gets
angry and loses his temper.A few of out ideas is this guying just
doing things in his front garden and his neighbour starts
annoying him. Another is at a shop or stall somewhere and an
old lady wont sell him something so he smashes up her stall.
Also a scene where someone tries to mug him in an alleyway so
he loses his temper with them.
For the performance part we’d have the band playing and show
the different instruments playing.
4. Location
For the location of the performance we could use the drama
studio as they have all the lighting and backdrops in there.
Another option would be to put up our own lights and
backdrop somewhere else but have haven't decided where
yet. Another idea is to do it in an abandoned hotel near where
we live.
For the narrative scenes where he loses his temper we could
use the front garden of one of our houses.We could also do a
scene in an alleyway in town Bristol.
5. Fashion
For the fashion we think it should be dark clothing like black or
grey jeans with a black shirt but just not brightly coloured
clothing.We think our actor should be tattooed and have a
beard and look a bit rugged like a typical musician fromThe rock
genre.
