Deconstruction of lyrics

Lay down in my bed I slip into
fevered dreams where I'm missing you - Looking back and thinking of a lost lover?
Don't call me on the phone I could talk with anyone - Regretting missing someone, not wanting them back.
I need you here I want you now - Wanting them back again,
So hurry home the quickest route - Needing them, singing to someone.


Woahhh Woahhh Woaahhh

Hear that train it comes calling out - train represents moving on with love?
Shadows closing fears that I can't tell - doors closing on their love?

Don't call me on the phone I could talk with anyone - Don't call. Doesn't want another relationship
I need you here I want you now - Admitting the love
So hurry home the quickest route - Needing someone, lost without them.
Woahh Woahh Woahh 

Cause you're my Remedy my only cure, - Juxtaposed with 'don't call me...'
You're my remedy the quickest cure - Confessing love for them.

Don't call me on the phone I could talk with anyone - Juxtaposed with 'my only cure'
I need you here I want you now - Final admitting of lobe
So hurry home the quickest route - Come back. He is 'home'

Mood Board

  This is a mood board for bands that we feel will help and inspire us for our music video. There are bands which we feel all focus on different elements in their songs such as focusing more on the instrumental element and some focusing on the vocal element.

Iconic directors of music video

The three iconic music video directors I have chosen for this task are; Chris Cunningham, David Fincher and Derek Pike.

Chris Cunningham made his directorial debut in 1997 with the music video for "Come to Daddy" by Aphex Twin, which was instantly praised, banned, and raved about by many people in the business. He followed up by making the music video for "Windowlicker" by Aphex Twin and the famous "All is Full of Love" video by Bjork. Recently, he made his short-film debut, "Flex,". His incredible style alone makes him a director to watch out for in later years.

David Fincher started his career by working for ILM (Industrial Light and Magic) from 1981-83. He then went on to direct TV commercials and music videos after signing on with N. Lee Lacy in Hollywood.  David Fincher has directed TV commercials for clients that include Nike, Coca-Cola, Budweiser, Heineken, Pepsi, Levi's, Converse, AT&T and Chanel. He has directed music videos for Madonna, Sting, The Rolling Stones, Michael Jackson, Aerosmith, George Michael and most recently, A Perfect Circle.

Derek Pike is originally a film-maker from New York, United States. However, he is also known as a  good music video producer. Most of his music video's are narrative based. At 21, he became one of the youngest directors to have a music video featured on MTV. The majority of artists Derek Pike has created music videos for are Rap artists such as; XV, Wiz Khalifa, Aloe Blacc, Consequence and Joell Ortiz 

Comparisons of different representations from different genres

Kodaline - All I Want

 I am going to compare two different songs from the same genre of indie rock. Above us we have Kodaline with All I Want where the video which is the second of two and is a narrative. We also have Passenger with Let Her Go which is a performance video. Whilst watching both videos we can instantly see the differences of Kodaline telling a story within their video. In some aspects I feel like this is the best type of video because it draws the attention in of the audience and makes you feel a lot of emotion whilst watching the poor man/gremlin lose his dog. However Passenger also achieves this by having a very simplistic video of performing his song to a small crowd. It makes it seem as if it is very personal with the crowd and the audience who are watching this.

Passenger - Let Her Go.

One Direction - Best Song Ever

One Direction and Union J both belong to the pop, boy band and therefore have similar music videos. One Directions music video is just over 6 minutes long and the start consists of the boys dressing up in their managers office and performing a little play. It then continues to be music video with a slight rocky feel to it as they continue to trash the room and throw everything about. Union J is more of a feel good music video where they narrate at the beginning and it then leads to a performance at the end which again feels very personal and as if you have a front seat to their gig. However this is taken away slightly as they don't sing to the camera like One Direction do.

Union J - Carry You

Green Screen Practice

Over a couple of lessons we managed to record some footage of Will and Conor in the green screen room. We then uploaded the footage to Final Cut Express and had our first attempt at green screen with a moving background rather than a still image.


It was good to be able to use the cameras and learn how to complete green screen effectively, however, it was very difficult to learn when we were unfamiliar with the software we were using.
