Intertextuality idea

Intertextuality Ideas

 I can reference multiple bands/musicians and romance movies in my music video. Here are some ideas I have for doing this:

Bands/musicians

Locations:

Abbey Road in North West London to reference The Beatles' album: Abbey Road

Berwick Street in Soho to reference Oasis' album: (What's The Story) Morning Glory?

Battersea Power Station to reference Pink Floyd's album: Animals

Instruments:

I have a Hofner bass at home which will be used as part of my video's band sequence. This will reference Paul McCartney who notoriously used this make of bass guitar throughout his career.

Romance movies

Plot:

The plot of my video will follow 2 people who meet on a train and spend the day together in London. This is similar to the plot of Before Sunrise in which my video will therefore reference.

Shots:

I will aim to recreate a few famous shots from some romance movies, including:

Pitch

Pitch Feedback

From my pitch, I had numerous responses and pieces of feedback:

WWW:

- Have band performance at end?

- Have band in a natural setting?

- Location ideas

- Website ideas

- Mood board/colour scheme

- Ideas for intertextuality 

- Song choice

- Narrative idea

EBI:

- 30 seconds clip editing, pacing, range of shots

- Could I use actors pretending to play instruments in the band?

- Have a girl and girl couple instead of heterosexual couple, but get a boy to sing the melody?

- More diverse representation 

Possible locations

Possible Locations in London for my Music Video

London Underground

- The beginning of my video will take place on a train, where the 2 main characters meet for the first time. I can make use of the windows/poles to create interesting framing choices

Knightsbridge

- More residential environment

Leadenhall Market

- Here, I hope to use the many lines/arches/windows... to create interestingly framed images which. indirectly, suggest dynamics between the 2 main characters

South Bank

- Streetlights at night

Abbey Road

- This serves as an intertextual reference

Leake Street

- Here, I can utilise the variety of colours to create more striking, colourful images

St James' Park

- Natural imagery

Primrose Hill

- Establishing shot to highlight location
