Initial Concept Pitch

In our group we decided that Dear boy was the song that we are going to use for a music video and in our group we have our own interpretation of what the song is about. From looking at the music video we have decided that we believe it is about a girl and a boy who used to be together at a previous time. In the music video evidence of this is given by the fact that the singer of the lyrics is a female artists. More evidence of this comes from the lyrics themselves such as "Do you remember the old times?" which indicates that at a previous time there was a happy relationship. The lyrics indicate that the girl is chasing the boy and loves him, evidence of this could be seen in the chorus when it says "Oh dear boy, it's so hollow without you in a world with everything but it wont do. In our video lyrics like this have gave us the idea that we would like a narrative story about a girl chasing a boy that she used to love. The lyrics previously mentioned such as "Do you remember old times" can give us the opportunity so show the past in are music video as well as the present time.

The boy is represented as a Wild boy who this girl loves and wants to be with but the boy no longer wants this and we will represent this when we create our music video. Some of the verses in this song have key lyrics which gives us a large opportunity to make the video however we would like and as crazy as possible. One example of this is "Sweet love of mine, destruction aint a crime", with this lyric with have had the initial idea to show the destruction of the male character in the music video, we have the idea to throw a television from a building as this would show the destructive side of the male character and would allow us to create an entertaining and professional visual effect.

Other lyrics that we have thought could create an appealing visual effect is "Go dance in the woods" with this we have interpreted that it would be the old times as shown when it says "Do you remember the old times?" with this we can show the boy and the girl at a happy time dancing in the woods around campfire. To conclude we want the video to be 100% narrative about a girl and a boy, we have decided that we will not have a performance in the video as from our research we have noticed that in some DJ music videos there is no performance however the DJ often does make an appearance so to follow our research we have decided to include the DJ at some point in the video. To do this without including a performance we could show the DJ backstage meeting fans like some of the artist in our research often do.
