Music Magazine- Initial Ideas

Originally, I planned on following the music video brief, however during a trial run of my ideas, I realised doing a music video would be impractical. I couldn’t easily access a performance space, or the instruments required for my music video, however I do have the necessary equipment needed for a music magazine. 

I am no longer going to be doing a music magazine with a fixed genre. My music magazine will be called 'Melody', which reflects the nature of content that would be featured, as a melody is a component evident within all pieces of music. 

Planning: Pitch Feedback

 

From the pitch process, I have learnt that I need to ensure that my ideas are practical. Since the presenting my brief, I have found talent to be within my music video. 

From here, I am going to produce videos to check if my song is able to be lipsynced, alongside take photos of locations to initiate more ideas. I am also going to create a mock 30s- 1 minute video using my talent.

Planning: NEA Pitch

 

Initial Ideas

 For my NEA, I would like to do a music video. To start, I have looked at rock songs previously enjoyed listening to, and selected the ones lasting 2-4 minutes:

Cherry Bomb (2:17)

Hanging on the telephone (2:21)

Amanda (2:27)

Boys Don't Cry (2:35)

I Just Threw Out The Love Of My Dreams (2:37)

Buddy Holly (2:39)

Teenagers (2:41)

Celebrity Skin (2:42)

Bad Reputation (2:48)

If You Wanna (2:53)

American Idiot (2:55)

Killer Queen (2:58)

Parklife (3:04)

Kids in America (3:08)

Jessie's Girl (3:14)

Holidays In The Sun (3:22)

Highway to Hell (3:28) 

Girlfriend (3:35)

I Believe in a Thing Called Love (3:35)

New Perspective (3:48)

Monkey Wrench (3:50)

Learn to fly (3:55)

Creep (3:58)

Out of these songs, I am not sure which I am most drawn to. I will need to do more research surrounding the rock genre and the 16-25 demographic, alongside annotations of lyrics in order to choose my song.
