Today we presented our treatment and research to the rest of the class to see what ideas they had when we played the song and what they imagined when listening to the song. We had to play a part of the song to the class and take down notes of the ideas that they came up with and would expect to see in a music video of that song. We then had to tell the class what we had originally planned for the music video. When we made the class listen to our song the ideas and images that they imagined were exactly the same as what we thought they would be and what we wanted in our music video. Some of these elements included:
performance based shots of a band
- a form of narrative to support band performance
- a narrative based on a relationship between a male and female
- the relationship expanding to represent fights and arguments in the relationship
- dark lighting to continue with the conventions of a rock music video
- a live performance of the band singing the song in a dimly lit room
Most of these were what Jess and I had imagined would be in our music video, as usually the conventions of the rock music genre includes these things - it wouldn't really represent rock if there wasn't much of a live performance and dark lighting. Fortunately we don't have to change much about our original treatment because a lot of people imagined the music video like we just but we just added some more elements into the music video like the fact that the male character is having a nightmare to represent the relation to the lyrics of 'dying in a nightmare'.
An example of the type of music video that we are intending to create is something along the lines of Bring Me the Horizon's 'Sadness Will Never End':
