We came up with the song Video Killed the Radio Star and were all really keen on the idea as there's a modern version, in which the bass is emphasised and the overall sound is more modern and synthetic. Furthermore, after reading the articles about Music in the Online Age and how technology is making it ever harder for artists to establish themselves, we thought the song could communicate this modern interpretation. Whereas before video killed the radio star, now, technology is killing the music artist. We also thought about communicating the idea of the 27s Club and thought this could be an interesting section of the video as it explores glamour and the theme of stars being killed by the consumers. Here, we could incorporate old footage of Marilyn Monroe, Elvis Presley, Amy Winehouse and other stars that died as a result of a "live fast, die young" attitude.
Our concept for the video is to have a pile of old TVs and band is displayed on them. This is an example I made on Photoshop.
Then people will come in and take the TVs away as the band are still singing and replace them with new TVs that are better quality however they put the TVs in the wrong order, carelessly, and so the band is all in the wrong order. Something like this...
Exellent reserahc and planning is evident into three really strong ideas. You have led on these and been creative and aspirational with your thoughts. Be care ful not to leave too many blogs with no comments. At least try to annotate ideas with bullet points or screengrabs or stickies. Notes as annotation work as evidence!! Well done so far - you need to get an idea pitched to Luke as soon as possible this week.
