Initial Ideas for MUSIC VIDEO

We have just been allocated to our groups, I am in a group which has four of us in. All of us have similar ideas about what we should do for the videos.

THESE ARE A FEW INITIAL IDEAS


1.) An old fashioned music video (1920's) juxtaposed against a modern remix of a period song. We felt this would be original and that it has potential. We also thought it would be nice to bring in a dance element to the music video and were thinking of having the dancers wearing traditional suits and bowler hats, similar to the photo below (Charlie Chaplin).
When thinking about this idea, we came up with a song by "Mint Royale" which is a remix of the classic "Singing In The Rain".
This song was first shown for a Volkswagen Car Advert, and then was made famous by a "Britain's Got Talent" contestant. After listening to it and observing it, we all decided as we needed to be promoting an artist and creating a star image, this song would not be ideal as there are no vocals. So we are still searching for another modern version of an old fashioned song which we would then be able to take the idea further, and into pre-production.




2.) Our other idea involved a darker and more edgy side to it. When researching Music Videos, I came across an up-and coming artist called Skylar Grey. She has just recently released 2 solo debut singles. They are two very contrasting songs and videos.
     I really like the way this video has been edited. It is a fast paced video with lots of quick cuts and disturbing images, for example when Skylar Grey comes out of her previous body. I am really inspired by this video and think it would be a big challenge to make a dark and edgy music video similar to this.
    The video below also by Skylar Grey is another video which I feel relates to a wide audience.
