Music Video potential ideas

These are some rough ideas I came up with after studying other music videos for potential promo videos, once I choose an  idea that I like the most i can refine the details of my idea and start planning my music video.

Music Tracks

The first music track I could create a promo video for is 'The Girl is Mine' by Michael Jackson and Paul McCartney. this video is about two guys fighting over a girl, this could be done in a narrative way in a music video. the lyrics tell a clear story about both men and the 'girl'. this would require 3 actors, one girl an two boys, and the locations need to be visually appealing like a date that people would go on which matches the story of the song. the video is different than others as it is a classic song with a modern take on it, and could show a message that is timeless about relationships.



The second music track I chose is 'Ambitionz Az a Ridah' by 2pac, this song is perfect for a performance type video, as the song is about 'gangster' culture which can b represented better visually using a performance than a conceptual or narrative video. I would need a few actors to perform this song as it is a convention of rap music videos, the location needed would be an open space which reflects the genre of music like a place with a lot of graffiti which fits with the tone and lyrics of the song.




The third track I chose was 'Hey You' by Pink Floyd, this would b a conceptual music video because the song describes people's conditions and want for human contact, these ideas can be portrayed abstractly while also subtly telling a story. images of people broken or metaphorical images representing the loss of feeling. This could be done using a studio with only some locations, for example a river or a dark tunnel which fit the theme of the song. This type of conceptual music video isn't done very often so it will be unique and therefore appealing.
