Due to unfortunate circumstances our group had to create another proposal and storyboard using a new song with a different band, but we made sure that it was classed into the same genre as Arms of Mexico. We are now creating a music video based on the song “Headache” by the band Wolvves. When first listening to this piece of music I became embraced with many ideas, but none that seemed to match the original narrative style we had for our primary song, which lead me to believe that our new video could be of a conceptual format. However, based on our research with Indie music conventions and representation issues a concept video would have most likely been unsuccessful. Although we do wish to challenge certain forms of music videos, bands within the genre of indie rock don’t have enough publicity to take such a risk, so should keep to the conventions and style of an indie rock video that brings something new and artistic to the audience.
After searching through a lot of music videos, I came across one for the song “Over My Head” by Sum41. This one really inspired me because of the creative simplicity behind it. The video is almost like a visual diary of the band that shows the audience what each member is like as a person on and off the stage. It consists of day and night shots, indoor and outdoor locations, all quickly edited in a montage sequence to create a fast paced and upbeat video that reflects both the song and band, supported by the music video itself.
