Research; How our video will differ from the original

Example & Skream - You shot yourself in the foot again

When picking the song for our final music video me and my group analysed many different songs. As a group we decieded that we did not want a song that was too slow, but more of a song with a up beat tempo.After short listing genres and artists under each genre,we came across this song through our search and its clicked to our group and we where all attached to the song because of the upbeat chourus. 

Above is the original song and music video by Example and beat produced by Skream. Example is a very well known British dubstep artist. The original music video follows a story about a couple in a relationship. The girl friend prepares a meal and present for her boyfriend though she is stood up as he goes clubbing and spends the night with the lads. The video uses a variety of edits in the chorus which go along with the fast beat of the song. The video follows the two different situations between the man and his girlfriend. Men in this video are represented as arogant and they are unrelable and drunkards. Womean are represented as commited, loving, thoughtful.

The way in which our music video will differ is that we will have a different storyline. We would like to show a storyline of a relationship, but we would also like to introduce different shots in a wider variety of locations through out the chorus. One example of how we will do this is we will use a variety of faces to represent a cheating boyfriend. We will use the same shots of different girls in different locations to show and represent the many women in the mans life. We will also use one member of our group as the artist, and will lip sync parts of the song, this is something we do not see in the orginal video. This is a new adjustment to our old video plan. 

With our old plan we had presented to one of the media teachers, we had soo many ideas that made is very complicated. Our teacher suggested changing the song, or changing our plan. In the old video we wanted to produce a video that showed and represent men and women as the same arogant and uncaring individual who are also liahs. We where going to film a boy and girl in a relationship but still each on each other and still run back to each other like everything is okay. Creating this video would have been difficult because of the many people we would have had to rely on. I feel that with our new idea, if its done well and effectively we would be able to produce a very good video :)
