Coming up with ideas

To come up with Ideas we sat in a group and first discussed what type of genre we would most enjoy to make a music video around. At first we had decided on american punk rock as we thought that this would be the most fun to produce as those videos are often quite ridiculous and entertaining to watch. Main examples being Bowling for Soup and Sum 41.



However, after much consideration we decided to go for an alternative music genre. We decided upon three songs, The Great Escape, I Want You and Ain't no Rest for the Wicked.
We listened to the lyrics and decided to create a song around the subtext of the music.

Final Idea

Our Final Idea is to use the song 'Ain't No Rest For the Wicked' by Cage the Elephant. The idea of this video is that the lead singer cannot sleep and through the duration of the song 'the wicked', famous villains, slowly enter his room and try to get to sleep with him.

We think that by juxtaposing the evil characters reputations with sucking their thumbs will create comedy and also appeal to a broader audience through the use of a broad selection of popular culture characters.

Compared with our other ideas we reasoned that this video gives us the most space to play around with different ideas and best utilises our sense of humour.
