Band research



This is the band Garbage who sings the song we have choosen to do our music video "silence is golden".

The band themselves have been around since 1995 and have released 5 albums over the last 14 years with there last album being released in 2007 titled "Absolute Garbage". The track we have choosen is from there album "Beautiful Garbage" which was released in 2001.


Paramore "Misery business" music video

We like the bright colour's the band wear in contrast to the black and white background that they are performing in. Also a big contrast is the dark room of the performance to the very light high school setting which makes the cuts seem very distinctive and then the merge of the band and the characters at the end acts at the end of the narrative and ends the video its self very well.

Music pitch

The song we have chosen to do a music video to is Garbage's "Silence is golden". The song itself has a very rock and punk type of feel to it with some very dramatic changes in tempo. With this in mind we want to keep the style of the video very simular to the style of the song with a narrative and scenes of the band playing through out.
Some of our ideas so far have included scenes of packed night clubs and back streets with very low lighting to try and give it the dark busy feel. We have put these images on a mood board with pictures of mosh pits and club lighting to give a more visual feel of what we are aiming for.
We have also included the band Paramore as a big inspiration of ours as they have a strong narrative of a bitchy girl in high school which match the lyrics. We also like the close ups and use of the band playing. The band setting its a very simple background but it still looks very effective which then lead us to look at graftti in our video.

Mood board

Some of the ideas and inspiration we had to get us started in brainstorming for our music video to Garbage's silence is golden came from the band paramore as seen in our mood board. We also had ideas of creating a house party / club setting like the tv series skins. The song is quite dark so we have pictures including graffiti and dark alley ways. We also found an image of the actual bands lead singer.

Costume change

After talking we have desided to change have Alphie is wearing from her very trendy style red top and scarf etc to a much more punk rocker look, the reason for this is that we thought it reflected the meaning and the style of the song.

This is the original idea for what Alphie would wear for the music video, we thought that her clothes went well with the first idea we had for the video which was a party scene all around her and a band and an empty room whiching between each other which was to try and bring across the idea of silence and loud music.




But because we desided to change our idea from the party scene with the band to a solo performance from Alphie as a group we thought that giving Alphie a much more punk look which we thought would look better this our new locations and the song itself

Graffiti

Or shots of the performer in our video spray painting a stencil of the band name should contain shots similar these graffiti artists at work.
