A2 Advanced Portfolio Initial Ideas:

Tv on the Radio 'I was a Lover'

Hole 'Malibu'

David Bowie 'Rebel Rebel'



1.
Band: TV on the Radio
Track: I was a Lover

WHAT IS THE STAR IMAGE OF THE ARTIST/BAND:
The band TV on the radio relate to the younger generation, however they combine modern and classic styles of music doing covers of David Bowie. they use a range of styles and genres in their music making each song very different and individual. They portray a chilled, artistic image as a group. They are not a commercial band and are known for their music not their appearance.

TREATMENT FOR MUSIC VIDEO:
For the music video I would want to relate to the lyrics, especially the ones repeated about sight; 'I can see clearly', 'eye contact' and 'look at stars'. (performance/symbolic) I would want the first shot to be of and eye blinking in time with the beat. I would want there to be two sequences, firstly to do with eyes and then secondly focussing on the band as a unit playing their instruments.

2.
Band: Hole
Track: Malibu

WHAT IS THE STAR IMAGE OF THE ARTIST/BAND:
They are known for the lead singers fame (Courtney Love). She is the only really famous band member and s the media are interested in her not so much the band. this is because of her rebellious streak.
-Youthfulness
-Rebellion
-Sexual Magnetism
-An Anti-Authoritarian Attitude
-Originality
-Stage Presence
These bullet points are what attract fans to the band other then their music.

TREATMENT FOR MUSIC VIDEO:
I would want this music video to be mainly about the lead singer. I would shoot it on the beach (as if it was Malibu). I would want all of the band to look like rock stars but still feminine. The camera would be mainly on Courtney Love the lead singer. There would be two sequences; one of them on the beach and one of the band busking on the side of the road with their instruments.

3.
Artist: David Bowie
Track: Rebel Rebel

WHAT IS THE STAR IMAGE OF THE ARTIST/BAND:
-Fashionably (known for wearing outrageous outfits especially when performing)
-Enthusiastic
-Crazy Performance style
He is known for really getting a crowd going and surprising his fans with individual songs and an individual lifestyle

TREATMENT FOR MUSIC VIDEO:
This video would be revolved around partying and the celebrity lifestyle. The band would be included but not nearly as much as the lead singer. it would be all about him and his lifestyle. There would be a narrative of him being dressed up to go out by other people and then his journey out and then the actually party itself. everything would be bright and old school. it would end by everyone being passed out and knackered at the end of the party.
