Song Choice and Viedo Ideas -

The song we have chosen to create a video for is 'THE NEXTMEN - My Way'. We chose this song as we felt it would be the easiest and most appropriate to create a decent, well made video for.
Ideas for the video:
  • Short Story- A day in the life, following 2 different people, cutting between each of them, walking out of their houses and walking down the street. Maybe have a split screen shot of the two people as they walk towards each other, then having a shot of the 2 of them from behind in a queue one behind the other. They don't acknowledge each other or even know one another. This creates dramatic irony as the audience are aware that they will be connected somehow as the video follows both of their lifestyles, however they have no idea about one another. The man at the cash machine forgets his receipt, the guy behind him takes the receipt and see's how much money he took out. He debates whether to mug him or not, eventually deciding to.
  • We could have the guy who stole the money phoning his friend to sort him out with drugs, he says he cant but gives him the number of someone he knows to meet, turns out the guy he meets is the guy he mugged. The guy who was mugged tells him to get in the car when he arrives, to make the guy who mugged him in danger. There is 2 or 3 other men in the back seats, clearly showing the man who we originally thought was the stronger of the 2 is now a much smaller threat. Video ends with the music fading and a shot from behind the car of it driving off.
  • Colour could be black and white with sharp contrast between colours, as he the mugger gets in the car, the colours start changing in sharpness, contrast etc. showing he is panicking as he realizes who the driver is. 
  • While the mugger is on the phone to his friend, the conversation would be quick and the music would still be audible in the background, but probably just the beat with no rapping.
