Transcript of Initial ideas
Initially we were thinking something along the
‘Industrial’ genre and had taken inspiration
from Nine Inch Nails but choosing something
a little more Neo-Industrial we went with a
song by the band‘Innerpartysystem’ (Who are
also of the industrial genre). We asked
permission for the song ‘Don’t Stop’.
However after seeing the new release ‘Misery’
Maroon Five we decided we wanted to do this
song as we found the Video original and the
song catchy; something a wider genre would
be appealed by. We then requested song
permission for this song and started plotting
our coursework around this; doing an
audience profile and audience profile around
the alternative pop genre (most fitting to
Maroon Five).
Personally I took inspiration from
the farce like video ‘I Write Sins
Not Tragedies by Panic! @ The
Disco’. The use of costume and a
clown theme to represent the
destruction of innocence appealed
to me greatly. I also looked at a
range of costumes from bands like
‘Muse’ to ‘David Bowie’ and
‘Queen’ as from them it is quite
apparent that appearance means
something and that eccentricity
usually gets publicity.
When researching the industrial genre I took
heavy influence from the video ‘Don’t Stop’
as aforementioned. The reason for this is I
found the use of stop motion and combined
film to represent insanity and the heavy use
of iconography to be quite moving and it got
the message of the song through very
clearly, seeming to highlight the points and
even make it better.
Because of our liking of the song ‘Moves Like Jagger’ we thought we would do this song when researching
Maroon 5, however after seeing the video we decided to choose
the less known song ‘Misery’ in the hopes of making it more original.
We looked at many types of genre, from Industrial to Rock, pop
dance electronic and all in-between, eventually we decided
On a alternative Pop video simply because this is the most
popular genre of the moment making ideas present in pretty
much every Video we watched, ideas we could use to help
produce our own.
As a final stage of research we had to choose
between our two preferred bands ‘The Feeling’ and
‘Maroon Five’, due to the fact ‘The Feeling’ were
playing live at Metro the week we had to decide we
chose to go and see them play live, however after
seeing ‘The Feeling’ we decided that because their
album was older than Maroon 5’s we wanted to do
something that was new and this eventually was the
reason we chose to use Maroon Five’s song, however
if we had not choose this song we would have done
‘Set My World On Fire, The Feeling’ as this video too
was one of the lesser known singles and therefore
easier to make our own and a bit more unique.

From the Innerpartysystem video we hope to recreate a few
aspects such as ‘Don’t Stop’ the use of Stop Motion in film
to create a jerky almost electric feel to the Video that
seemed to give it an energy. Also the use of high speed
cuts and match on action speed this video up and it gives it
a high speed action like feeling; for some parts of our video
(particularly the verses) we wish to recreate this to give it a
uniqueness and energy.
From ‘I Write Sins Not Tragedies’ by Panic! @ The Disco we wish to recreate
the symbolism shown in the video and how the use of set and character can
help reinforce the message or lyrics of the song. Furthermore in this song I
believe the use of mise-en-scène particular costume adaptation creates a very
eccentric style which creates significant visual impact; whilst the dress style
used in our video may not be the same as this I hope to recreate the
individuality through costume within ours.
Furthermore although we only researched ‘The
Feeling’ by seeing them live I have recently
looked through their music video’s and songs
and have noticed how their music is all rather
‘PG’ in the sense that it could be watched by all
members of the family. However
‘Innerpartysystem’s music is a lot more
controversial, so I hope to combine the
techniques used In some of the music by
‘Innerpartysystem’ whilst retaining the family
orientated pop friendly genre used by bands
like ‘The Feeling’ and ‘Maroon Five’.
