Pitch idea 2

ACT: The White Stripes

TRACK: Blue Orchid

YEAR: 2005

DIRECTOR: Michel Gondry

GENRE: Garage rock, punk blues

MAIN AUDIENCE: M+F 15-40




My music video plan is to use this song but apply it to a complete different context and make it a performance video, this performance video will be similar to this...



I think this could work well as the beat in Blue Orchid is similar to the one used for the Hardest Button To Button video, as the bass drum is kicked the drum can move from location to location along with a guitar possibly aswell. Then there could be a twist at the end as the song stops the drummer/guitarist falls of his seat or falls of a cliff?

Also in the back drop there would be certain members of the class holding up cards with the lyrics on them to add something else to the video.

lip-syncing will be included but only for certain sections of the song however there aren't too many lyrics

Shots:

Like the music video for The hardest button to button they use a number of different shots/camera angles to stop the video from being boring aswell as changing up the performance a little bit which is something i would have to add.

Locations:

For this type of music video locations would have to be key and i think the perfect location/s would be Leeds/Ilkley as Leeds would provide intertextuality for a wider audience.

Long shots such as these could be used to show the art gallery as the drum beats across the path in front then close ups can be used as well as mid shots to add variety.

Millenium square would also be a good location as there is steps to go up or down also there is a lot of potential for different shots.

Another ideal location would have to be Briggate down the main shopping high street of Leeds.

Victoria Quarter would also be a key location if we were to film in the city

As well as the Corn Exchange

Costumes:

For costumes all the people involved would have to wear a similar attire to make it look like we are some form of band e.g all black.

The person playing the drum/guitar can therefore wear a different coloured top or something different to make them stand out from the others.
