My First song choice for a music video is ‘Jealous Minds think alike’ by You Me at Six. This song is has a mixture of rock with a pop edge to it, allowing a bigger target audience of different genders. The lyrics to the song are about a relationship where the couple in it are jealous of each other. This is the basic idea for a narrative music video.The idea for the video is to have a mixture of narrative and performance.
The first character will be the lead singer who will at every chorus will have screen time for performance where he will have various close ups and full shots of him singing with his band behind him, a boy playing the drums and another on guitar. The Mise En Scene for these performances will be outside behind a brick wall or a fence preferably with barbed wire to symbolized being trapped in the relationship.
The lead singer will play the main part in the narrative of the story so the emotion to the song can be shown to its advantage allowing more sympathy from the viewers.
The verses of the song will be parallel to the visuals. There will be another character, a female who will play the part of the girlfriend in the relationship with the lead singer. The lyrics demonstrate many different situations which have allowed the couple to become jealous of each other.
The first verse tells us about how the boyfriend is jealous of the girlfriend always being around other boys, so before hand when the track begins, the first shot will be of a close up of a mobile phone that has a picture of the couple cuddling on the front, to which it cuts to the boy turning around and pointing to his girlfriend to show his friend ,who he was showing the photo to, who his girlfriend is. As he turns around he points to his girlfriend to find her surrounded by loads of boys flirting with her.
