The song that we are going to choose for our music video will be "Rock Pride". The song is from the Band B.I.T.E.
B.I.T.E are a Brazilian band whose genres consist of Hard rock and Glam rock. The song that we have chosen is from the Glam Rock genre. "Rock Pride" is from the debut album "Rock into the Night". Finally B.I.T.E are a 5 piece which means they have 5 band members.
For our performance ideas we wanted the location of the performance to be in an empty warehouse. This is because we wanted a nice open space in which we can show the band off. If the warehouse was a big open space then the video would really emphasis the fact that the band are the main concentration overall. To help create the importance of the band we could apply the rule of thirds to our camera shots so that the positioning of the band is in the middle.
For the narrative side of our music video we will be concentrating on the band. The narrative will consist of the bands journey into becoming the band by joining together and uniting. This will be done by clips like the individual members joining together, members buying equipment, members looking at their rock heroes and much more. We choose this narrative idea because we felt that the lyrics suggests these ideas with the use of phrases like "I am the Rock Pride", "You will always find my show at night", "My show will shine", "My heart will always be on stage" and many more. These lyrics represent the feeling that the song is leading up to one big performance once the band have come together. A vital point in the song which is important that we need to have performance in would be the guitar solo so we would hope that by that point the narrative has played its part and the band are now performing together. The music video is basically one big time line showing the progression of the band. A good example of a song that follows this sort of pattern in using the narrative to show the band of would be Steel Panthers song called "If you really, really love me". This is where we will get a lot of ideas for our song.
Our costume ideas for our music video will be very similar to the costumes in our Prelim music video. This is because both the songs are in the Glam Rock genre where they would naturally wear items of clothing that express themselves in a bright and eccentric way. The costumes for Glam Rock members are usually very colourful and outrageous in their nature. We are hoping to buy some spandex to make the costumes even more creative. We have got ideas about the costumes from the Glam Rock band Steel Panther. This is because as you can see from the photo is that they out there in their costumes and do not care what they look like as long as they are having fun. I feel as if this is one of the motos of a Glam Rock band.
For our camera work in our music video will be fast paced and include lots of close ups. This is because we want the audience to feel as if they in the mix of the band and their music. This is also because close up camera shots are a typical convention of rock videos. For one of the most important shots in our video we are planning on creating or using a proper dolly. We would use the dolly to perform a 360 degree pan of the band. This will be a great establishing shot to really present and show the band off. We have used an example from Steel Panthers "If you really, really love me" again by the use of their pan they use and we thought that it looked really cool.
For the lighting we are looking to rent some small flood lights to use in our video. We have learned from our music video Prelim though as we found out that too much light was concentrated on our faces. This was a problem as it made our faces look pale. We hope to improve on this this time round as we will only use the amount of light needed. We might also experiment in using lights from behind to make a good looking effect. There are a lot of music videos which use this technique including a lot of Rock videos. We will have to experiment with the lights before using them for the 2 days of the shoot as we will then get a taste for how the lights our going to look o our faces.
