The song which I would create a music video for would be 'The Wombats - Walking Disaster' in terms of the song it is a narrative song. Whereby the lyrics, are basically telling the listener a story. It's quite home hitting, in terms of it targeting teenagers as it bases around the mind state in which you are currently in or have been through. The lyrics are basically informing the listeners about the lifestyle of a young female. What she feels, what she does and an explanation on the regrets that she has made and what the singer would do if he was in her place. In terms of the actual song there isn't an actual music video and I feel as if there should be. I completely adore the song, and the fact that the song allows the audience to create their own concept/ idea for the song gives me an advantage in which I am able to interpret in my own way.
In terms of how I will go about to create this music video, will be through creating a narrative/ surreal music video whereby I will show the story which is told throughout the song. I will aim to create a story type feel to my video which will capture the audience and not only promote the song but give the audience a small feel as to what I as a director believe the song is about. The techniques and conventions that I will use within my music video will range from the idea of basing it around a story type video whereby throughout I will use the convention where the 'female' will be the main focus within the video and the techniques will range from using a variety of camera angles and editing.
Financially the cost of the music video would be quite minimal technically. I have my own camera, which I will use and if not then I am able to use the facilities which are provided by my college. Within the college there is a range of equipment which I will be able to use. E.g. Tripod, camera's, steady cam etc I am also provided laptops and macs which would allow me to edit whenever. In terms of the props that would be used within the video, again not very much. It will mostly consist of costume which in terms of price wouldn't even need to be brought as it will base around an everyday teenager; therefore when scouting for actresses to portray the young female it would be an every day female teen who will wear clothing such as: tights and a top or a mini dress such would be her make up too. It will start off with plain ordinary make-up with eyeliner but throughout the video it will show her everyday life and how her make-up is a profound representation of herself that she wants to break down. In conclusion, the pricing of the music video will be close to nothing.
