Analysis of Tracks for Music Video

Track 1 - Kings of Leon
The song is quite depressing and cold, which is typical of Kings of Leon. We think that the colours should represent the emotions that the artists/song evoke, so blue and grey would suit it best because they are cold, metallic colours. This can be adjusted in the editing stage through filters and colour correction. Some narrative ideas that we've had were to have the artist walking through a forest, or have a cold snow/winter scene. The main character could be hungover and depressed, and be lost in the woods. Lots of the video will include flashbacks. Another idea would be to use a city scene with the same narrative as I've just explained. Lighting would be dark or natural to make it more realistic.

Track 4 - Adele & Kanye West
Lots of Adele's songs show her in a room performing the song, with the rest of the video being very artistic such as 'Rolling in The Deep'. For this track we would begin the song with Adele sitting at a rainy window in a city, representing sad emotions. Again a blue filter could be used during editing to give the overall video a depressing feel. Another idea would be to have the characters walking through the streets of a city. Items would be give to the character and then passed on, when Kanye West's part comes on the item would be passed to him. The entire video would be one continual shoot.

Track 7
This track was from a band, again it was a very emotional; depressing song which described the character trying to "break in" or being too late for something. We think that this could be followed through in the narrative of the video with the main character trying to find someone and they're too late. The video would have two scenes, the first would be the main narrative and the second would be a performance scene on acoustic guitar in a cold old barn/room. The ideas for this video are also similar to track 1 as we would use cold lighting and blue/green filters to give a natural effect.

Track 10
Track ten was one of our favourite tracks because it had a really good base beat which would be easy to clap along to, this could be the stem of a dance routine or a beat which they could walk to. The song has a really happy feel to it, which is funky and layed back. The song reminds us of fields and flowers. the colour theme for the music video of this song would be really bright and on a summers day because the song has a happy summery feel. We feel that we could be really experimental with this song as we had the idea of using animation in a really funky way, we wanted the animation to appear as though it is being drew and the animations will be in bubble writing and cartoon with lots of bright colours.

Track 8
Track 8 is a very upbeat track which is in the hip hop genre. This track would not need many props, one for example  would be a microphone which links to the lyrics in the song. The colour scheme i would use would be shiny colours like golds and silvers as this reflects the mood and genre of the song. The location i would use would be the streets. This song is upbeat and this couldbe reflected by the use of bright lighting. The only problem with this song would be that lip syncing may be more difficult as the lyrics are fast and may be hard to replicate.
