We decided to scrap the Daft Punk 'Technologic' idea as we felt the lyrics and repetitive beat of the song meant we could do limited things with the song which may lead to our video coming across as boring. After this change in idea we came up with two other songs that we were interested in developing into our music video, these were 'St. Jimmy' by Green Day and 'Nine 2 Five' by The Ordinary Boys and Lady Sovereign.
We were interested in using either of these two songs as it meant we could develop and idea which involved intertextuality. Firstly with the song St. Jimmy we had the idea of involving a Jeremy Kyle style show and with Nine to Five we realised the lyrics may match the job of a news reporter, we had seen this job involved in a few videos beforehand.
Below are the two songs we are interested in using for our music video:
Our first initial idea for our A2 music video task involved the song 'Technologic' by Daft Punk, I liked the idea of using this song as it had a qwerky beat and repetitive lyrics that we could play with, there was also a robotic voice used for the lyrics which is another idea we could play around with. Our first initial idea was to use a split screen that would divide into further screens as the verse/chorus progressed, this would give make the video stand out from other videos in the dance music genre. I would also interested in developing a rave/dance scene band performance with the use of strobing and a crowd scene. We briefly thought of using V for Vendetta masks for the band member/s to fit the strange and peculiar nature of the song. Ofcourse it is only early days in coming up with a final idea for our music video so our overall idea is subject to change.
