Stuck on the puzzle-Artic monkeys-
The band has a range of indie rock songs that can be
hard and head bobbing like I bet you look good on
the dance floor and brainstorm, others like stuck on
the puzzle and no buses where they take a softer
approach and makes the video, whatever it may be
seem to be very calm. A trend I saw in other
unofficial music videos that use soft artic monkeys
tracks is relationships. The videos depict a loving
relationship, a breakup and a realization that the two
need each other.
4. The riddle-Nick Kershaw
The lyrics include a variety of locations so I could pan the camera to
each location. “Near a tree by a river There's a hole in the ground
Where an old man of Aran Goes around and around And his mind is a
beacon In the veil of the night For a strange kind of fashion There's a
wrong and a right But he'll never, never fight over you.” This will make
a cool edit to look at and make the watcher quite satisfied as each of
the places named will be on the screen.
5. Florescent adolescent-Artic monkeys
For this song the beginning instruments are a solid three beat chunks
and on each beat would reveal a different scenery. And when the lyrics
start to be heard actions like running
6. A certain romance-Artic monkeys
• This song has a nice opening guitar riff that would go nice with
scenery and documentations of everyday life. Like getting on buses
and cycling along a scenic path close up of someone walking could be
an option as some of the lyrics include “Well oh they might wear
classic Reeboks Or knackered Converse Or tricky bottoms tucked in
socks But all of that's what the point is not The point's that there ain't
no romance around there. And there's the truth that they can't see
They'd probably like to throw a punch at me
And if you could only see them, then you would agree
Agree that there ain't no romance around there”
7. Glue bicep
This is less the song a could be taking inspiration from, its more of the
music video which depicts urban, rural, poverty areas and suburban
areas which gives the video a large scenic range and something a
listener from the uk can relate to.
8. Nightcall- Kavinsky
This song has got a very urban and vaporwave style sound. It would go
well with a dark neon video .
9. Kanye West- famous remix(only the bam bam
part)
This has a depressing start which contrasts with the main “bam bam”
part which will go with people dancing happily.
10. Heads will roll (A-track remix)
This song also has a regular beat at the start which an edited video of
someone falling or doing something funny is played on each beat.
12. Idea one

The lyrics include a variety of locations so I could pan the camera to
each location. “Near a tree by a river There's a hole in the ground
Where an old man of Aran Goes around and around And his mind is a

13. Idea two
Florescent adolescent-Artic monkeys
For this song the beginning instruments are a solid three beat chunks
and on each beat would reveal a different scenery. And when the lyrics
start to be heard actions like running
15. Florescent adolescent or A-punk
Two mates get out of a taxi stumble a bit and struggle to open the door
and ones they're in they both sit down on the sofa and then the shot
changes to them looking at each other in first person and on the
second three beat drum stop motion is included and strange positions
and movements are filmed until the lyrics kick in.
16. Mind map of ideas-kavinsky nightcall
[summary of ideas]
This song has got a very urban and vaporwave style sound. It would go well with a
dark neon video .
17. Florescent adolescent
This video would include an early 2000s style of
youthful teens which would take a lot of inspiration
from the show skins. I searched skins music videos
and came across this video which I would take a lot
of inspiration off.
19. A-Punk
Shot idea- a couple of people sat on sofa and the positions stay the
same but what they're made of changes and the setting as well. A
scene from the simpsons shows what I'm trying to say.
20. Final idea – artist/title/info
• Stuck on the puzzle/Alex Turner
• Singer from the Artic monkeys from Sheffield
• Artic Monkeys
• The band has a range of indie rock songs that can be hard and head
bobbing like I bet you look good on the dance floor and brainstorm,
others like stuck on the puzzle and no buses where they take a softer
approach. The song is a track from a movie called submarine where
the main themes in that film is youthful love
21. Final idea – track summary
• A punk/vampire weekend
• The band has a range of indie rock songs that can be hard and head
bobbing like I bet you look good on the dance floor and brainstorm,
others like stuck on the puzzle and no buses where they take a softer
approach and makes the video, whatever it may be seem to be very
calm. A trend I saw in other unofficial music videos that use soft artic
monkeys tracks is relationships. The videos depict a loving
relationship, a breakup and a realization that the two need each
other.
22. Final idea – your idea
• Your creative concept/video synopsis [describe your interpretation,
use of imagery or narrative, genre conventions, etc]
• My creative concept is a music video which consists of the A-Punk
track by vampire weekend. This song Is a cult classic rock indie song
that nearly everyone who was around in 2008 will recognise. The
video will contain a range of effects like stop motion and face filters
and maybe time lapses and sped up footage to match the beat of the
song. The video will start when two friends get back from a night out
and they sit down on the sofa and I want to incorporate face filters
from snapchat to make it look like they're seeing stuff. The song will
start after a scene or two of this happening and the video will follow
the two as they encounter different things and how they go on a
journey through they're house. The editing of the video will line up
with the beat of A punk.
23. Final idea – techniques and styles
• Video techniques/style/conventions to be used [include how you
intend to implement these]
• The video will contain a range of effects like stop motion and face
filters and even time lapses. It will have a bland look and the guide
lines for the actual size of the video will be closed into a square to
imitate a retro video. When I'm not using stop motion ill be using a
sped up video technique that matches th fast paced rhythm in the
song.
24. Summary
• 5 strengths of your ideas you could use
• Stop motion technique
• sped up movements
• Cloning yourself and other people technique
• Face filter to show they're hallucinating
• Editing the video to the beat of the song
5 weaknesses of you ideas
Hard to do stop motion and one small thing can make it go wrong
