Music video idea

For the music video i am going to make, I have decided to work with Joseph Richardson. Here is a link to his blog: http://josephrichardsonmediastudiesblog.blogspot.com/

For the music video, we have decided to use the song "Six Six Sixties" by Throbbing Gristle. This is a song by a very unconventional band, and this song is off of their most accessible album. The idea behind the album was for the band to be unconventional by being conventional, as the band was criticised for being extremely predictable. They also used the name "20 jazz funk greats" for the album along with a normal looking album artwork to trick some people into buying the album. This means that we can create a conventional music video for the song, and it would seem authentic as it follows the idea for the album.

The song we have chosen has a sinister feel to it, so we have decided the visuals of the video to be like a thriller. The idea at the moment is to have an individual walking around an industrial estate with cuts to a close up of the vocalist on particular lines of the song. We are currently planning to have a narrative in the music video, the person walking through the industrial estate starts to appear more edgy throughout the video. This is because he can sense that he is being watched by someone, this person will be the vocalist. At the end of the video the vocalist will attack the other character before the video then concludes.

Here is the song:
