The song we decided to choose is called Lesson 6 by the Hip Hop group Jurassic 5. We researched into other videos by Jurassic 5 but decided they were all to typical for us and we would struggle to find anything challenging. This one really stood out to us because it didn't remind us of any other Hip Hop songs we had seen. The song itself doesn't appear to have an official music video, which to me comes to an advantage as it provides a blank canvas for us to do whatever we want with it without the influence of original ideas. The song itself is very much a science based song, with the majority of speech including names of chemicals, and reminded us of a professor conducting an experiment. We like this idea as we feel we could really play around with it and create a unique video that would give off that shock factor that we were really looking to give.
Our ideas for our own Music Video
Me and partner have decided to base our song around this random box that is found by two girls. The two girls approach the box, shine a torch inside and from then on that is where the madness begins. We don't want the video itself to have a clear meaning at all, we want the audience to be able to give their own impressions of what is happening.
Taking the idea of women dancing, we have decided to use two dancers, Hannah Bryant and Amelia Langdon to inspire this idea, however they are not going to be provocative at all, in fact they are going to appear more spooky, with big scary smiles and crazy make-up to shock the audience. There is going to be a science theme running throughout the video with a professor conducting an experiment, yet we want to keep the hip hop theme going by using DJ Decks and a 'gangster-like' character to create an exciting twist to this random video.
Characters/ Actors
After thinking about which actors would be best for our music video, we have decided on the following people to play the following Roles:
Me and Beth will be the two girls at the beginning of the video to find the box.
Frankie toft will be used to play --> random characters that make our video complete but are not featured very often.
<--------Hannah Bryant will play one of the dancers.
Joe Paul will be playing the character playing on the DJ decks. ----------->
Mr Roberts will be playing the professor.
