Concept

 We brainstormed and tried to come up with a concept (one per team member) and proposed our ideas to our teacher. 

The song is about a two people in a failing relationship and the lack of communication between them, so the concept I came up with was that we could show two people, either in a romantic relationship or friends (I personally prefer the latter because I feel like it's less cliché), who seem to be in the same place at the same time (videos for references embedded below). However, they don't interact at all, which could portray how even though they're together there is no sort of real connection between them. Towards the end of the video we could show one person acknowledging the other's presence and trying to force some interaction and open up a channel of communication between them. This we could represent by deliberately breaking filming and editing rules.

The concept Hira proposed was to include intertextuality throughout the video, including pastiche of various couples from films (for example Mia and Vince from Pulp Fiction) and picking up scenes which are relevant to the meaning of the lyrics.

The primary target age group (late teens and early 20s) are significantly more present and active on Instagram. This is also why a majority of artists now, despite having accounts on both platforms, are more active on Instagram because they get greater engagement with their target audience. Secondly, Facebook appears to have a more conservative demographic and is subject to regulation by media watchdogs to a greater extent than Instagram. So considering our video contains a depiction of a lesbian couple, if it happens to fall under the viewership of people with conservative views (which is...

Music Videos - what's the point?

There doesn't have to be a point, you love them. If you don't, you do . In the music industry as we know it today, music videos have become a vital part of it, especially with platforms like YouTube (which we're all very much familiar with) that cater to streaming music videos. Apparently 55% of YouTube users watch music videos everyday (it's me, I'm users). The significance of music videos can be observed in the way award shows now have categories for them - Best Visual Effects, Best Cinematography and there's too many to list. So, I daresay, for people of mainstream pop-culture, it's grown to become a competition with artists setting and breaking records for views. Music videos, though initially made to promote artists or films, do a lot more than just that now. Prominent artists, with their large fanbases, in the industry dominate charts worldwide each time they make a comeback and drop an MV. These music videos address a variety of things: They could add...
