I began looking for inspiration in various films and pop videos that related to the image I wanted to create in a band; rebellious. I found some of the styles incorporated through Guy Ritchie’s work
(http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0005363/) were something that if simulated in the video; could add the necessary edge needed when creating that rebellious look. I also looked over a wide range of music videos that I felt successfully created that image, stemming from The Rolling Stones to The Insane Clown Posse (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dnv1OKqxzaU). After this research I created three ideas that I would present to my group.
The first idea was a song called Another Girl Another Planet by a new wave band called The Only Ones. The video would switch between performance and narrative where in which the band (dressed as super heroines) would be pursued by two policemen through urban London streets. The performance would be shot in the studio, kept simple allowing the audience to focus on the apparent insane behaviour and mannerisms of the front man. My second idea was the song “Only When I’m Drunk by Crazy Town (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XoroTFH6Iv4). The video would be completely narrative driven set in a London bar, where in which the two rappers would find themselves in various situations where they would need to escape. The reason this would not need to cut back from performance to narrative is that the two rappers, wouldn’t need to be accompanied by a band, just like the majority of other rap videos.
My third and final idea was to use the song “Satellite Of Love” by Lou Reed. This video would incorporate styles from certain David Bowie videos from the 1980’s, hopefully paying obvious homage. Unlike the first two ideas, this video would not create the image of the loud, dangerous front man, but the dark and “tortured soul” image, a type of rebelliousness that has worked with other such artists as Kurt Cobain.
