Media Studies – make a music video

For our coursework we decided to make a music video, based on our original base of a jackfruit style programme. Jackass is a programme of various dangerous and stupid stunts, which ar all a bit different. We decided against this idea as it restricted our power to pitch it into an original concept.We decided to make a music video victimization a punk bird mental strain, as these have a truly unsubtle luck of what fuel be included.We started by making a song in the style of a well kn hold band, Blink 182, precisely we changed it to incorporate our life at college. We are loosely basing it on a theme of our college life solely at the different extremes.We are utilise what Levi Strauss called Binary Opposites, these are extreme resistances, for example a bad guy being ugly and a good guy being passing attractive.We are victimization the Binary opposites of maturity and immaturity, which is a basic college idea, the shape up students that do their work and the immature stude nts that romp about and dont take things seriously.We supposition of things that would be included in a punk music video, we had the idea of the band rehearsing in a music room and being very professional about it and then came up with the opposite which is practicing in the refectory and vie hit-or-miss objects rather than proper instruments.Another idea we had is spending eon leisurely we had the idea of a group of people sitting somewhat playing cards with the comparison of them all running nearly wish mad brandishing water-guns and having a play fight.The next one is also a leisurely activity, playing foosball at the table in the refectory comparing it to doing judicious skating and crashing into from each one other.We then thought back to the programme Jackass and one of their famous sketches is the presenters being pushed around in a shop streetcar. We thought of using this but needed a binary opposite to go in it so we thought of having someone pushing the trolley quite normally with shopping in it.Also just base on balls around college, the band walking down a corridor and turning around a corner with them running down the corridor in the underpants and running into the girls toilet.These reserve off a lot of ideas of the maturity and immaturity of college.We thought of using the phrase that we had heard a lot from the show South Park, whenever in that respect is drugs or alcohol involved, one of the characters, Chef always says There is a age and a place for everything, and its called college and thought that we could relate this to the video.Another idea we had was using the Kuleshov Effect, where we would take shots of random things such as people talking scarey out and people running around like mad and twist faces.The themes we are using are Jackass, The Teenage years and a jeering effect of Blink 182 videos.We are also going to have part of temporal disorder in the video, using the video effects on my camcorder, this will give t he impression the person watching is on drugs because the song is related to this, although we will show no shots of drugs or anybody taking drugs as this would be to suggestive, we are only giving hints of teenage life but not developedly sho pull throughg all angles.There is no actual storyline to have a linear memorial to the video, its more random as this is what college is like despite being a regulated day, anything mint happenThe idea of using teenage life although is very familiar is so broad that we can change it to our own tastes and use our own characters in it. The whole video is supposed to be a joke filled, fun and non-serious which is the whole idea of punk rock, a lot of songs are just parodies.We are also going to have lots of shots of the band so people can see them and know who is playing. Bands do this so they can see who is performing and identify with them and decide who is their favourite. Sometimes they can pretend to play roles which can lead on to a nar rative in the video, taking for example, Sum 41 in their In in like manner Deep video they have the lay about band, with the jocks fighting against each other in a diving contest, we want the band to win which is do in a binary opposite the baddies are made to be Speedo wearing narcissists and the band wearing any old short and not particularly full of themselves. This is the kind of effect we want to master with binary opposites.
