Research of existing music videos - Dizzee Rascal - Bassline Junky




This is effective in using live performance and syncing the miming with the song lyrics throughout the entirety of the music video. After watching numerous student videos who have failed really bad in successfully syncing the miming, therefore during my music video any live performance I have will be minimalistic to prevent it from appearing out of time.
This video lacks a narrative that's separate from the lyrics itself, watching the video without any sound it would be hard to get a story or what's relevant which is effective for this light hearted song but is not something I want to replicate in my video.

Initial Ideas

I have to so initial ideas, they are similar ideas but based around two different songs. I like to mind map my ideas because this means i can link parts together and getting everything down on paper before I start adapting it. One of the main parts of mise en scene that I want to focus on more than the others is camera angles. This is going to be important especially to show the change in perspective between the characters. It will also give the video an edge.

Song Choice

I've chosen to use Powerless by Rudimental as the song for my music video. This has been one of my potential choices from when I first changed my idea. I wasn't really sure whether it would fit or not but after I put it with my footage to see how they went together, I thought they fitted really well. I've divided the song into sections of the choruses and verses so that I can match my footage accordingly. The music video to this already contains a strong narrative as do many of Rudimental's videos.
