SEVEN – FIND THE BOY

So after a very interesting talk with Rohan about our groups ideas for the MV, we have decided to announce our music video concept. We want to have Abby chasing after a man who appears to be helping people out and giving out balloons as well. Along her journey, she acquires friends who have encountered this “Elvis hair guy” to help her search.

Now looking at it the premise is very simple. It’s simply girl follows boy around until they eventually meet, and walk off into the sunset, but I think it’s simplicity is what works best for us. We haven’t got time to develop a strong narrative, or to include lots of imagery and hidden messages. For our time-frame, and short budget having the narrative read very linear is the best we can do for now. And I know what you’re all saying “but Jenny, why do you have to be so hetero-normative and basic af”. Well imaginary readers, it is because we feel like the song already carries a lot of the story, and we don’t think we need any fancy plot twists to deviate from the beautiful song. Less is more, and we hope that just adding a little touch of fairytale magic, and the having a cute story is enough to get your attention and make people listen to the song.

Now for my music video recommendation this blog post, I leave you with K.will’s “Please don’t…” It starts off with the general and almost formulaic story of a man heartbroken because the love of his life is about the marry another person. Classic tragic story, but the beautiful twist which made me re-watch the entire music video forced me to check my views of media. Give it a go and tell me what you guys thought about the ending.
