Group Idea 1

Kids by Sleigh Bells:


Our group decided to use Genny's song for our first idea, but slightly changing the idea. We came up with having a high school/college setting, very stereotypical looking characters e.g. cheerleaders and jocks. Our idea will hopefully generate and evolve into a sort of satirical video.

The video will be narrative based, however using various quick shots to mirror the beat/rhythm of the song, this will keep the energy of the song in the video. Our group thought about having shots of the 'popular kids' walking down the corridor and everyone else moving to the sides.



Other shots would be of having cheerleaders and jocks carrying a baseball bat over their shoulder of hanging by their side, then in another fast shot having it covered in blood then suddenly it changing back to being clean. Also using black eye contacts with the same purpose - smiling normally then a shot of the black eyes and then changing to normal again, this can be repeated with blood in the mouth etc.

Another idea would be to have the cheerleaders pull into the school/college car park in a sports car and a shot of then opening the door and getting out whilst flicking their hair. Then filming them walking up to the front doors of the school carrying books and backpacks.



This is a website our group made that would fit the kind of artist/band that would fit this profile of song/music video. We chose this homepage image as it suggests a high school soccer/football pitch, which relates the music video but not throwing away the idea. I think this band/artist would be more organic so letting the music speak for itself, without self promotion.

From 1.37 - 1.41 our group really likes the editing they have done and we think it would be really effective in our music video.
