Meeting Six

We had once again altered our idea slightly, whilst we were still focused on using intertextuality in the song 'Nine 2 Five' by The Ordinary Boys and Lady Sovereign, we decided we wanted to change our idea from a news reporter to a man who holds down several different 9 to 5 jobs, as we felt that this would match the lyrics to better effect and would also give us more props, costumes and locations to play around with. We also decided that as Lady Sovereign was only a featuring artist in the video she would have no involvement in the job aspect of the video and her input would be purely performance based. We were also interested in the idea of using clocks in the music video as there are lots of different references to time in the song.

Meeting Five

Now we had scrapped the 'St Jimmy' Green Day idea we now went on to further our thoughts related to the 'Nine 2 Five' news reporter idea, we went on to find some music videos that had already been produced with this use of intertextuality implemented into them, here are two examples that we had found:

By furthering our research on these kind of music videos we now had a better idea of how we could put this into our own music video. We also came up with the idea of using both a news desk and a news anchor scene giving us a range of different locations to use in our music video.

Music video director #2

Marc Webb

Most of Marc Webb's work is in the field of rock music, making videos for bands such as Green Day, My Chemical Romance, Incubus, Weezer, AFI and Evanescance. On the other hand he has done work for rappers such as Trey Songz and P. Diddy, showing his adapdability in his style of music video. The one common theme I found in all the videos of his i've watched is the clean fast paced cutting and the use of lighting to create mood, this is shown in the following music videos:

21 Guns - Green Day

Miss Murder - AFI

Make A Move - Incubus
