The Pitch For My Music Video

My group and I came up with an idea for my music video for my media project. This was called our "pitch". The pitch is the initial idea that my group and I have come up with for our music video. The initial idea for the music video was using the song, "Moonbootica - Pretty Little Angel" This. We thought this would be a good song and we are going to base the song mainly on performance and little on narrative. Here is the original music video of the song:

At the start of the music video, there are two men that talk. This was only purposely done for the music video and not actually for the song. We will not be including the two mens voices at the start of the song as I thought it would ruin the sexual theme of the song. As for the original music video itself, you can see there is not any sexual movement used in the video, but as for the lyrics, you can produce something sexual with it.

 We thought about the idea of including voyeurism and include smothering of paint over exposed bodies and so forth to give it that "sexual" effect of the music video. We also thought of close up's of the mouth showing sexual movement as this would make a strong impact to the audience of the music video. Here's an example:

As you can see, the use of black gothic colours are used in the image and the way the mouth and hand are positioned suggests that the movement of the woman is sexual. Not only did my group and I think about using the sexual closeup's of the face, but we also thought about the props that would be included in the music video. The props (mis-en-scene) that we thought about were including props such as handcuffs, rope, blindfolds and other sexual props that would suit the song. we also thought because the song is called "Pretty Little Angel", the woman in the video would be wearing some sort of black angel wings with a Gothic corset, but we also acknowledge that the video would not be too sexual and exposing.

As for the location of the music video, I thought about a white room where the black Gothic theme really stands out to the audience. Of course, I thought about the editing colour correction, where colours of the shots can be changed which will make the music video more interesting. Sticking to the natural colour of the video would not suit the song too well. As for the changing in the colours in the song, I thought a flickering flash effect would be good when changing between scenes and shots. This also can sync well with the beat of the song and in my personal opinion would look well after the final editing has been completed.

At the moment, I am happy with the initial pitch for the music video that I am going to create for my media project and I think if my group and I but the time and commitment into the music video production, can produce a well made music video.

As for the pitch for my music video that I am going to create, I have more ideas that can be included into the music video. I thought that the narrative of the music video can be about a guy and a girl having an unusual link and relationship with each other. I am thinking that the girl wants the guy but the guy doesn't want anything to do with the girl. I think the guy should be lying on a bed while the girl is all over the guy but the guy isn't showing an interest in the girl. This can be done by using the camera above them like a crane shot, but a lot smaller from a birds eye point of view of the action. The guy that is singing can be looking directly at the camera while him and the girl are in the bed. Once that changes, I thought that it would be a good idea to include the guy walking on his own when the song is more suttle and sounds more personal. I thought it would be a good idea if the guy is walking down a tight alley way or back of the streets which shows he feels lonely and excluded from everyone else. When it gets into the chorus when the lyrics are "pretty little angel, can we play your game" - the imagery on the music video can change and then be a lot more active.
