My idea for a narrative music video is a ten-minute-long ode to the Slint song
‘Good Morning, Captain’ off their acclaimed 1991 album Spiderland. The
music video will follow the spoken-word lyrics of the song but will be
visualised in my interpretation. A ship captain emerges from the sinking of his
vessel, ridden with guilt and trauma. He will experience flashbacks whilst on
land, creating an almost nightmarish sequence all shot in black and white.

My target audience is a very large scope. I do not really have a specific age
range to focus on. It can be enjoyed by lovers of alternative rock, which caters
to multiple age groups. It can cater to people who were around during Slint’s
cult status in the 90s, giving me a target audience of people in their 40s and 50s.
It’s a very wide range, which to me is good since it will garner a lot of attention
from a diverse audience.
