Music Video Research - Location

Recently ive been out with my mates who i am going to include in my music video and have them in all their punk and skinhead clothes as that's what they normally wear and they suite the codes and conventions of my video as a whole. Now, what this post is about is WHERE about i am going to be filming. Punks and punk music has an ideology to stand out from the norm, given this my video is going to have to be filmed in a busy and very public area. I have decided on a few places one being the Albert dock as it is one of our cities great landmarks and will be heaving and people will divert their attention from a big old statue to a young ginger lad with a 30cm long Mohawk dancing around like its no ones business. Another place is near st johns market as many people will be getting off the buses and such, the idea of this whole "getting the public eye" malarcky is so that i will get into a state of knowing what i will need to include through my own research and see how an audience will react via my own methods. i will post my results ASAP

Sad Stuff About My Music Video

Don't get me wrong, I am enjoying my media work at the moment with my music video but with big icons such as Sid Vicious inspiring me it's hard not to get upset at his poor decisions to turn to heroin. This post isn't related to my music video, this is just a post out of respect and sadness.

R.I.P John Simon Ritchie (Sidney Vicious)

May 10th 1957 - February 2nd 1979

Rise – Public Image Limited

After Johnny Rotten left the sex pistols (1978) he formed his own band public image limited (PIL) and made their main song, rise. It still had the same feel of a sex pistols song with johnnies weird looks and stares on stage and in videos which was always a key thing in the two bands. Rise is a very catchy song and can get any audience going. Rise is about the apartheid in Africa and more specifically about nelson mandalas impact on it. Rise is also about the Irish republican armies (IRA) torture techniques on British soldiers in the conflicts in northern Ireland. one line used is "they put a hot wire to my head, because of the things I did and said" this is a clear reference to electric shock torture. a line that links to the apartheid is " I could be wrong I could be right, I could be black I could be white".

Something Else – Sid Vicious (cover)

Something Else was originally made by Eddie Cochran but covered by the former bassist of the sex pistols, Sid Vicious. He turned it into a punk rock song in 1979 before he passed away from a heroin overdose. Sids version is a lot more fast paced and heavier. The music video has Sid in his room in just his boxer shorts with his spiked hair where he grabs a bottle of beer and a cigarette. Of course I would not be re-enacting that video but I would like to make one as hard-core

DONT LOOK BACK IN ANGER

This psychedelic song by Manchester band, Oasis, led by brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher. This song is probably their second most famous song along with the sensation Wonderwall.






 Don’t look back in anger talks about forgetting what has happened in the past and concentrating on yourself your future and wellbeing. The lyrics and the whole pace of the song is kind of slow in a sense and the lyrics are easy to remember.
