TASK 1 Idea Generation and
Research
RESEARCH & IDEA
GENERATION
Select a song/track that you like [or dont like!]
Generate three ideas for music videos employing
styles, techniques and conventions that we have
looked at in previous sessions. Explore how you could
interpret the song differently using different methods
You can add any extra info you think is relevant,
images, mind maps, etc
For quick mind maps you could use bubbl.us to
generate these
IDEA GENERATION
Two Door Cinema Club Sleep Alone
The song has a signification connection with the somebodies
subconscious and because of this I would like to create and
develop what people believe and think about this will be done
using a effects in order to create an idealism environment for
the viewers enjoyment. I could portray the song with the
complete opposite by using physical rather than a mental
element within the song, If this method is used, then mental
health could be a major theme throughout the video. The next
concept of the song is that the throughout the song there is a
description of solider and because of this it is could be used in
order to show a different aspect as well as helping the audience
gage a different understanding on the songs message. The
genre conventions which exist within the song are the use of
close ups on the main singer and this is important in allowing
the band.
RESEARCH
Watch a selection of videos to get your ideas started,
make note of a minimum of 5 add extra slides,
screenshot the video and in bullet point note down info
in terms of camera, editing, art design, performance,
etc and how this might link to your production
THE CHEMICAL BROTHERS-
GO
- In the music video it solely based around two poles
and how they are manipulated with choreographed
movement based around the beats of the song. In the
song there contains many different camera shots of
the same movement, this is used to give the viewer a
better understanding on what is happening in the
song. The song also uses close up shots at the
beginning of the song and this is used to show the
viewer, what the people look like, whom are
manipulating the poles.
THE WHITE STRIPES-
HARDEST BUTTON TO
BUTTON
In the music video it uses reputation in the sense of
the music instruments being played, this is used to
progress the video by them moving throughout a city
landscape by the use of instruments, the instruments
are repeated on the beat of the song this is important
in establishing a more prominent connection between
the song and the video itself. In the music video they
also used the reputation in collaboration with the
camera shot this is used in order to create a more
atmospheric viewing experience.
DAFT PUNK- AROUND
THE WORLD
In the music video there is a mass amount of robotic
chorography in which is done to the beat of the song,
in the music video it also uses flashing and bright lights
in order to emphasis the movement of the dancers.
Some parts of the video the movement is done by the
whole cast of dance this also give the robotic more
emphasis. Finally, the music video has a juxtaposition
of costume involved in the song this Is done in order to
increase the quirkiness within the song and therefore
the video.
NOIR DSIR - A
L'ENVERS A L'ENDROIT
In the music video for this song the use of reputation of
clips is done through the music video and the action
that are repeated are ones based around the work
place. The video tries to emphasis the menial task in
which people often do at work. Near the end of the
video, the repetition increases in speed, to the point
where it become flickering effect, this is important as
the song has a slight increase in tempo therefore to
emphasize this the repetition become much more
faster.
FOO FIGHTERS-
EVERLONG
This Music video is based around somebody
subconscious in which is portrayed in a sort of folktale
way. The music video has effects that manipulate the
hands of the singer in the band this is used to
emphases that this is not real as well as the power of
somebody conscious. Near the end of the music video
there is effects in which change the colour of the
screen as well as this there is a series of close up shots
on the different aspects of the band. Close ups are also
used to give the viewer a clear understanding on when
they are switching in and out of consciousness.

LYRICS
Now My only goal is to see When I'm only fast asleep, It takes more than strength to find, This
peace of mind, So I'll hold, hold, hold, Hold it close to my heart, Beating with every step, Hold,
hold, hold it close,
He sleeps alone, He needs no army where he's headed, 'Cause he knows, That they're just
ghosts, And they can't hurt him, If he can't see them, oh, And I may go, To places I have never
been to, Just to find, The deepest desires in my mind ,We, we only know what we see
'Cause we're always fast asleep, Is it so hard not to believe, That we'll never know?, Oh hold,
hold, hold, Hold me close, I've never been this far from home, Hold, hold, hold me close
He sleeps alone, He needs no army where he's headed, Cause he knows, That they're just
ghosts, And they can't hurt him, If he can't see them, oh
And I may go, To places I have never been to, Just to find, The deepest desires in my mind
's in my head, And I have said, That I must be like him now, He sleeps alone, He sleeps alone
And one last chance, To make sense, Of what has long escaped us, He sleeps alone, I sleep
alone
He sleeps alone, He needs no army where he's headed, Cause he knows, hat they're just ghosts,
And they can't hurt him, If he can't see them, oh
And I don't know, If in the morning I will be here, And if so Let it be known, That I was worthy, I
was worthy, I was worthy, I was

The introduction to the song starts with establishing a connection
between the main actors conscious. When getting shots I will try and
create a eerie atmosphere, as well as trying to establish the connection
between the conscious, this will important in creating a surreal
environment for my music video. The shots I will be getting will also
attempt to question reality, this will be important in have a continuous
style, throughout the music video. The shots within my music video have
been inspired from the surrealist work of Michel Gondry, this will be
creating shots that begin to question the reality, although near the end of
the song will be reviled that the whole video was created within the head
of the main actor, which will also create suspense throughout the whole
video. The introduction of the song is important in order to help begin the
style of the music video, in order to create meaning as well as the
importance of the conscious. The effects that will be used in creating the
video will be important in amplifying the significance and the illusion in
which are going to exist within the shots I get.
CHORUS
He sleeps alone, He needs no army where he's headed, 'Cause he knows, That
they're just ghosts, And they can't hurt him, f he can't see them, oh
The chorus of the song has connotations based around the subconscious, and
how someone has to battle their fears alone, this gives the viewer the
atmosphere relating to inner strength. The use of ghosts is important in
understanding a paranormal element within the song, this makes the person
begin to question the mental stability and understanding within the song. As
the chorus is repeated throughout the song this is important in helping to
progress the message throughout the whole song. The song in general fast
paced although the chorus is done at a tempo which is slightly faster that the
other parts of the song this creates tension therefore for the shots in which I
want to include are going to have fast paced cutting in order to try and
establish a more prominent connection with the song and the video. In the
shots I want them to have a paranormal element therefore I want to create the
illusion of ghosts as well as trying to establish a eerie and creepy environment,
in which becomes more prominent within the chorus. The chorus is so
important and I want to use a lots of shots with fast cuts, the clips will consist of
shots of sports as well as shots of nature the nature aspect will be used in order
to create the illusion that this is what is going on in the main actors head.
FINAL VERSE
And I don't know, If in the morning I will be here, And if so, Let it be known, That I was
worthy, I was worthy, I was worthy, I was
The ending of the song will have shots where the fears that once controlled and
overcome the subconscious have been dealt with this will be used in order to create a
clear ending, and show the ending of the fears within the mind. The song has many
different references, relating to the subconscious therefore this is why I want to create
an atmosphere relating to this. On the lyrics I was worthy in which is repeated three
time at the end of the line there will be same shot repeated in order to make the
illusion that the whole time the video was based inside the head of the main actor in
the video. The reveal of that the whole video took place in the conscious will be done
by using a long close up shot on the face as the background changes around the main
actor this will be important in understanding the thought process in the brain and
because of the shots which are given the illusion of the inner conscious. The shots will
be done in a clear setting this will give a good contrast between the previous shots in
order show that the main actor has overcome his fears. In the final verse the words
And I dont know if in the morning I will be here this is important as it shows the
uncertainty of the future and to make the image more vivid I will be using video to
effect with dark imagery in order to create the sense of a dark reality. Let it be know
this is used in the song in order to give the viewer a sense of achievement and self
worth, as they want to be remember, therefore when implementing the effect in my
music video I will use a repeat of previous shot in order to create the effect that first,
the whole music video wasnt real.
