My Emotion Video: Loneliness

Loneliness

Music Video Analysis

This music video uses performance and narrative form. Most of the video is live performance (concert), which is in a cool tone to emphasize the seriousness and darkness of the lyrics at the beginning of the song.Throughout the song, there are flashes into a few strangers' lives and this happens during the verses of the song. These scenes have a high contrast with a lot of dark shadows to relate to the "demons" described in the lyrics. Slow motion is used for each verse to add impact to the content of the video and lyrics its illustrating. Once the chorus hits, regular speed resumes. Depth is created in a lot of the frames by all the hands of the audience being in the foreground with the band performing in the middle ground/background. 

The intent of this music video is to promote the band's performance while being able to use the lyrics to relate to each individual out there-connecting to them and their inner demons, whatever they may be. It also adds a Dedicated to ending to the music video in order to raise awareness. 

Brainstorming

1. Music Video

Under Water

"The Change that Refreshes"

For this music video, I would like to have a friend, who does a lot of covers, sing "Changed" by Rascal Flatts. This song is about baptism and the changes you make in your life after be baptized. There is a baptism event going on at GracePoint in Valparaiso at the end of September and I would like to use this event as most of the footage for the music video with clips of my friend actually singing the song in a studio. 

2. Documentary Video

Two Tires, One Engine, Zero Limits

"Make Every Lap Count"

Anthony Lesniak is a family friend that has been into motocross for most of his life. He spends most of his free time practicing to become pro. He has made it into the top three in Michigan state competitions. In the documentary, I would like to explore how he got started, what motivates him to practice, and some of his good and bad experiences. 

3. Narrative Video

Teddy Krueger

"Does Your Teddy Bear Help You Sleep at Night?"

For the narrative video, I thought it would be fun to do a parody of Freddy Krueger with a teddy bear as the antagonist. This video would be fun to make since the bear would have to be "animated" and look like Freddy Krueger.
