I aim to create a music video to go with the song 'Same Thing' by The Kid LAROI. The music video must appeal to a teenage audience of 14-18 year olds and must accompany a hip-hop music track. The song I will choose is a hip-hop song which is just slightly over 2 minutes long. I plan to make a music video which involves multiple locations, a story narrative and a range of camera shots, angles and movement.
Song
The song I plan to choose is 'Same Thing' by The Kid LAROI. This song is in the genre of trap, hip-hop and R&B. I plan to choose this song as I love The Kid LAROI's music and so do a lot of other people my age. The Kid LAROI is only 17 so not only does the song relate to teenagers but also the artist. The song is about a boy who finds out that his girlfriend is going out and speaking to other people behind his back. However, the boy is not mad at her because he admits that he does the same things as her.
Narrative
The narrative for my music video relates to the message in the song. I plan to convey the story of the boy (me) who finds out about his girlfriend going behind his back. This will relate to the teenage audience as many teenagers have gone through similar situations of distrust in relationships. I plan to include a mix of performance shots of me lip-syncing to the song, as well as narrative shots of the boy and girl. I plan to use a range of shots to portray the story narrative including multiple camera angles, such as establishing shots and close-ups, and camera movement such as zooms and pans.
Performance
The performance for my music video, I will include multiple locations which are stated in the paragraph below and plan to use a mixture of camera angles to show the performers emotion when lip-syncing.
Location
I will use multiple locations, mostly across the school grounds. Other locations I am planning to use are green screen and night time scene which we are not sure the exact places I will shoot yet. I have had ideas to film my performance scenes in the school sports hall with a basketball hoop in the background. I am planning to do this as the song is American and the outfit I plan to wear is quite American. This location will also link to that as a lot of American teens love basketball. The narrative scenes will be shot across the school grounds to tell the audience that this is all happening at a school. This relates to a teen audience as most teens attend school.
