A change in Music Video ideas
Since the post I have changed all three of my music video ideas. I had also chosen to change the song I will be filming to, which enabled me to become more receptive towards other possible ideas. Linking back to my film influences: 'To Be Human' by Sia and 'Dusk Till Dawn' by Zayn Malik featuring Sia, I wanted to structure my footage and editing in a similar way the producers for the two music videos had.
The similarity between the two is that they are both made to look like short film. Though the footage filmed for the music fits, they both have a beginning, middle and end, a structure more popularly known for footage that has a clear narrative and story line, that may have an underlying message, compared to the most recent Pop music videos like 'Bon Appetit' by Katy Perry. By choosing a different style and type of music I believe that I will be able to structure my new music video idea around a meaningful and underlying problem within society that needs to be addressed.
Within the mind map I present my ideas in a clear and structured way, by using a visual outlet to see my ideas I was able to develop and ask questions related to the possible filming ideas that I have. My base idea is that my film narrative should bring to light something that the media suppresses. I wanted to focus on the medias representation of men because social media, and media in general is an outlet where as receivers we gain and spread information, keep in contact with others and is a forum that we also learn from. When a topic is not addressed through such a huge outlet which most people rely on to gain information and use to express their own beliefs (this can be shown by polls and trending hash tags to bring awareness to a topic or to how support) and a topic is never mentioned, it begins to suppress a huge majority of people and makes others unaware of it. By creating a specific narrative for my music video I will address a wide audience and surface the lacking support men are receiving for emotional help.
In this video, a clip from Jeremy Kyle's show, the audience laugh when the man on the show had to jump off a three story building because his 'domestic' partner had locked him outside on their balcony. The response from the audience shows the outlook society has when men are belittled and lack the emotional support they need. Kyle rightly supports the man and said that if it were a woman who had to do jump from a building to escape they wouldn't be laughing.
The stereotypes associated with male dominance over-rules the underlying emotional support men also need.
