Initial Ideas

The song I have chosen is ‘Music made a man of me’ by Steve Appleton, I chose this song because it doesn’t have a music video and I find the tune and lyrics really catchy, also not many people have heard of this artist which appealed to me.
For my music video I have decided to make my video aimed at teenagers, I have chose this target audience because the genre of music I have chose best fits this group and I think that they would find it most appealing, this is aimed at a both male and female audience.

The main singer is going to be tall with medium length hair; I have chosen him because he has the indie image I am looking for, is confident and can sing. There is also going to be three girls in the video to go into the narrative side also including the singer.

I have decided that there is going to be a lot of short cuts as the song I have chose has a fast pace, there is also going to be close up’s showing expressions and lip movement for lyrics. I have not decided yet on effects that I am going to use. At the start of the music video the music is not going be on instantly, the singer is going to start the music in the video by hitting a beeping alarm. Also at the end of the video the music is going to fade out by using the singer to turn the music down in the car, which will make another parallel sound.

This music video is going to be performance-based and narrative-based, the main story line is going to be the singer as the main focus and he is romantically seeing three women throughout the video however they don’t know, same of the visuals and lyrics are going to link and at the end of the video he realises as throughout the lyrics have been ‘music made a man of me’ that he should be a man and not mess people around. We are going to have props in our video such as a car, fashion such as choice of clothes/make up.
