A2 Music Video Course Work Ideas

Idea One

Band : Slam Cartell, ( Real Band For Music Video )

Song : (To Be Decided)

The Band Slam Cartell, is a small established Rock and Roll / Heavy Band, who operate out of London, and have played all across the UK. They have an established fan base in the tens of thousands, and have a good website and media coverage, but all they are missing is a Music Video! Which is why i thought it would be cool to make a music video with them, as it would be popular outside of the Hurtwood Circle...


The music video starts with the band, on a stage in a field, if possible on the day, a light drizzle, or at the least, cloudy weather.

They begin to play, when from either side of them in the distances, from two crowds, confronting each other. (Riot, Medieval Knights etc have been considered).

As the song builds the two sides sprint to clash in the centre where the band is. But as they become within touching distance, the lead singer gestures them to stop. The Band Pause, and then resume to everyone rocking out to the band.









Idea Two

Song : Seth Macfarlane's " You & I "

Video : A Fifties Love Story

Despite being well known for comedy and cartoons, with critically acclaimed shows like Family Guy, Seth is actually a very talented singer. And has a very well known song called 'You and I' a 50s style orchestral love song, in which he give us a performance that is like nothing we would expect of him.

The Music video starts with one singer, silhouetted by Jersey Boys style lights, this is consistent through out the video. Which cuts backward and forward to two love birds, in 50-60s costume, picnics and walks and generally romantic things. At the end of the song, we find that the singer is actually the male lover, and he is performing to an empty theatre.








Idea Three

Song : Sail

Music Video : H.M. Armed Forces Tribute




After talking to a few friends who work in the MOD, i found it would be possible to be attached to the Army, the Navy or RAF, to film them on intense training exercises, to capture the power and professionalism into doing the job. the Song is powerful, and so is the action, the reason why i thought it would be a good idea is because its real, and nothing else would equal the amount production value that it would appear to have. It all looks much better, rather than using actors, who wouldn't know what it feel or be like and have no prior experience.
