Ideas Task: Potential Music Vid 1

Potential Music Track 1:
 
Song: Caleon Fox - Senpai Skies [3:20]

Proposal Summary:
This will be a performance type video.
The artist took inspiration from Anime (Japanese type of animation). Senpai is Japanese for senior or someone of a higher knowledge. The promo video will feature a young guy going around with this old guy, trying to learn from him/gain knowledge.
But for the most part, it will be a video showing different guys and girls dancing.

Lyrics:
Interlude
Joey!

Intro:
Yeah, Yeah (Yeah yeah)
I just wanna fly out to Tokyo.
I just wanna anime my flow too!
That underwater flow on tidal wave
I'm up north then the sky to vesaylamon
I'm might simmer in the end just yet dawg
I'm in the K topped off for my own good
The sound good, too good, man I'm too on
You can say I'm too on for my sound good (yeah)

Hook:
(Now,)
Club is a bang through the night till we take off (take off)
Hello all my fans, bling their line before we take off
Turn up with Senpai through the night, till we take off
I fall through the sky, tell your friends before we take off!

Verse 2:
Man up north man where it's it
Yo this shit wack, man they go crazy
Yo this shit wack, without question
My genre is healthy, collective
Electrica can feel it in her soul
I promise you water, her bee is selection
Money is not loyal to the source
In the meat there's no swag and the  po's deuced up you can see it (2s)
I'm burning up the building from the boot, healthy
I made it to the skies, go on and ride for me

Hook:
(Now,)
Turn with Senpai through the night till we take off
I love all my fans, bling their line before we take off
Turn up with Senpai through the night, till we take off
I fall through the skies, tell your friends before we take off!

Verse 3:
Man this shit wack, man they go crazy
Them goosebumps bumpin' up a lil'.
Yes I see he got a little fizzle on your face.
Express yourself, that body a masterpiece..

So essential,
And attractive facials.
Yes I see ya tapping into your inner bum,
See ya swagger the same move.
Go down for the one.
Sensei hella mellow.
What's love to all of my people,
Repping the same colours, marseto
And when you wanna go with that to,
Represent to (ah ah ah) make sure we stay upon the map
And before I take off in the skies,
Lemmie show my people where its at...

Hook:
(Yeah turn up!)
Turn up with Senpai through the night till we take off
I call my fans, bling their line before we take off
Turn up with Senpai through the night, till we take off
I fall through the skies, tell your friends before we take off!

Verse 4/Outro
Yo this shit wack without question,
Consumed by the height I ascend to
If only you knew what I was into, truly 
Please enjoy my good time
My healthy presence is limited
Effort to sky, out in no time
Live healthy with all my esyndicate, 
While they are...

Down with Senpai before we take off, off
Down with Senpai and before we take off, off

Yeah, healthy music!

Locations:
Park
Living Room
Studio (Green Screen)
Graffiti Wall/Tunnel (Dalston)

Actors:
Old Man "Senpai"
Main Guy (doing the lip syncing)
Extras:
Dancers - Guys and Girls - About 10 altogether

Props:
TV - Anime movie is playing
Fruit (apples, grapes, etc) - in reference to him calling it "healthy music"
Water Bottles - when he says "I promise you water.. selection" in verse 2
Map - Due to him saying he wants to go to Tokoyo
Paper Aeroplane - have the paper aeroplane being flown across the map, then have a match-on-action shot, to an actual plane in the sky.
Large, vintage cellphone - Because he 'calls all his fans'
Coloured smoke bombs (just a nice effect to have, will really suit the mood of the music)

What makes the promo vid different?
It looks as if it's really randomly put together, but that's the whole point. As the artist doesn't like to define his music to one genre, he just incorporates everything.

Where did the inspiration for this idea come from?
The fruits part from a music video I saw quite a while back *cant remember the name*

3 Case Studies Task

When it comes to my music video, I would like to choose a song that is Alternative R&B/Rap-based, as that is what I tend to listen to, it will be easier to relate to.

I envision my music video to be quite dark themed/coloured, and to have a sense of obscurity to it. (In other words a conceptual music video). These music videos that I looked at are an example of this.


Music Video 1:

Nav - Ten Toes Down (Directed by RJ Sanchez) 29th July 2016


What ideas could you use in your own music video? (Inspired by this video)
I do like the idea of the coloured smoke, so may use some smoke cartridges in my music video.
I may also start and finish my music video with the same shot, just like they did with this video.



Music Video 2:

Syd - All About Me (Produced by Steve Lacy; Directed by Calmatic) 11th Jan 2017


What ideas could you use in your own music video? (Inspired by this video)
I like the consistent and simplistic theme used throughout the video, showing that less can be more.


Music Video 3:

ASAP Rocky - RAF ft Playboi Carti, Quavo (Director - Alec-Eskander)
Release Date - May 15th 2017
Produced by Dun Deal

What ideas could you use in your own music video? (Inspired by this video)
I would like to incorporate some of the editing techniques that was used in this music video. So the overlapping shots and the change of pace.
