Taneshia Deckon: Video idea!

Although I have already posted several ideas, our groups hasn't found one we really like and want to back all the way, so I decided to research some other schools music video's to get some inspiration.

I found the typical party one, however, if we take out the silly and pointless Harlem shake at the end, the video actually looks really good, in terms of shots and as a whole, simple but effective, in a way and goes with the genre of music:

So looking around, I came to a professional music video's one in particular that caught my eye was 'La la la' by Naughty Boy ft Sam Smith.

I was really interested but confused about the music video so I researched it, It gave connotations of the Wizard of OZ, I found on a blog by a boy called Kieran Hill, Information about the music video. It is a mix of an old Bolivian folk tale about a boy who is deaf however can hear the pain of people suffering and goes to help the, mixed with the Wizard of Oz to create the music video all the details are in his blog that I have linked in his name above. After finding this I thought, why don't our group do something like that as we were struggling with ideas. So I have been looking for some old folk tales/ Nursery Rhymes that we could possibly do a modernised not so obvious version of. So these are the ones I have found that we could possibly do:

The Snow Queen
Rapunzel
Thumbelina
The little red hen
Little red riding hood
Jack and Jill
The queen of hearts
Rumplestilzkin
WitchStep-daughter
The Three Little Pigs

If my group likes the Ideas we can develop the storyline to incorporate it into a modern day version that may almost be unrecognisable unless told.

From Research quite a lot of music videos like using Fairy Tales as a storyline, as discussed on this website Music videos that use fairy tales. from Katy Perry's 'Wide Awake', AlunaGeorge also features fairy tales as well as Nicki Minaj's 'Va Va VOOM':
