video ideas

When thinking about which brief i would choose i started to look at music videos, i found this music video (After Midnight Blink 182) and i like the narrative that goes with the music along with the how it has been made. I like the use of narrative within the music video as it is almost like watching a short film with the two protagonists being the patients in the psychiatric institue that get out of their rooms and cause havoc within a hospital. With the antagonists being the wardens of the hospitals, this makes the video follow the normal conventions that we would perceive in a narrative but are presenting it in a different way. This is because instead of being a knight saving a princess, it is instead 2 patients. This video also makes us question stereotypes we already have about those in psychiatric wards, as we would think that they are all mostly mentally unstable and not safe but this shows how they are the same as anyone else. They have conformed however to the stereotypes used in a rock music video this is the use of the band performing their song inside a big hanger and they have assumed stances that a typically rockstar would. I like the idea (if i was to make a music video) to insert a narrative into the music video, almost making the music video a short film in it's self. However this could be difficult as it may turn more into a short film retracting from the fact that it is a music video but i enjoy this style of music video and feel that it is a possible option if i was to make a music video.
