MUSIC VIDEO: Three Initial Ideas

Due to the fact that our group was going for something more surreal and unusual we decided to go for  something weird in our first idea

So...

Our first idea
We chose the song Running up that hill by Placebo but the song was too plain and dull so we decided to go for a more upbeat version of the song we finally chose a Mokhov electronic remix of that song which was ------> http://youtu.be/bEtqNz1vnhg
We chose this song cause of its rhythm and how it the beat gradually grows in a very intersting way.

This song also goes with our surreal idea behind it as it is a very weird/freaky song, however the lyrics tell a story so this helped us to create this kind of story behind all the visual weirdness that will be going on.

We thought we would base it on a jealous relationship almost as the lyrics consists of words such as

                                     "You don't want to hurt me,                                                                       
                                     But see how deep the bullet lies.                                                                   
                                     Unaware that I'm tearing you asunder.                                                         
                                     There is thunder in our hearts, baby."                                                             

We thought of having this disturbed girl (very disturbed girl) that became obsessive, almost like a stalker who was in a bad relationship which explains her situation and how we chose to show the storyline so the video doesn't end up looking like just someone doing strange stuff, we thought about using flashbacks to kind of piece things together and make it almost like a puzzle almost so people's wondering wont take them off the screen or get them bored.

Our second idea

We thought if that was not acceptable we would go for something completely opposite rather than having a dark, strange surreal puzzling video we would go for a completely happy and ridiculous video.

First off we thought of using the song Wintermute by clouds vip ---> http://youtu.be/ZV4VVxstGNk

We thought of using the song ' I got a brand new pair of roller skates, you got a key' ----> http://youtu.be/ROwxGvMVXhI

We liked this song because its a fun song and its quiet ridiculous aswell as the lyrics have no meaning whatsoever to life or anything. So we thought we could make a creative video with this like put lots of shotstogether doing crazy things and montages doing insane things. The down part of it is that its almost impossible to pull of 'insane' 'dangerous' things, hence the reason it was our second choice.

Our third idea

For the final idea we schose a song written by a group of african american guys called cyprus hill. The name of the song is called insane in the brain ----> http://youtu.be/zAlNrtcPCLw

We chose this song because we didnt have any initial ideas including a band and we thought if we should do a video to this song, having a male band would work very well. We also thought of having it in a mixture of fun and freaky at the same time like our first and second idea combined, as we brainstormed about all sorts of creative stuff like having skateboards and also like face painiting a brain on each of their foreheads having them doing weird stuff
