Post 2 - Professional music videos

Image
This music video was released in 2016, and was made in conjuncture with Warner Bros. and DC to promote the film " Suicide Squad ". (coincidentally, an example of  synergy .) The music video takes a darker, more gritty tone compared to other twenty one pilots music videos, which typically take lighter and more fun tones. This is probably done to match the lyrics of the song, saying things which would be considered quite sensitive subjects or more twisted. Lines such as "you're laughing at the psychopath sitting next to you" and "doesn't mean our brains will change from hand grenades" support this explanation. Also seen in the music video is scenes from the movie it's promoting, Suicide Squad. Typically, these are small shots of the characters, e.g. Harley Quinn treating her baseball bat like a gun, various shots of Killer Croc, etc. This was done to show some kind of link between this song, the music video, and the movie. It also helps...

Post 1 - Our practice task explained

My group (Megan, Noah, Wendy and I) were randomly given a fairy tale or nursery rhyme, and a question. We were tasked with creating a music video relevant to one of the stimuli given. The fairy tale we were given was- 'The boy who cried wolf'. The question we were given was 'What if you said yes to everything?' After discussion, we decided to choose the nursery rhyme (the boy who cried wolf). This was because we initially had more ideas for this stimulus, and felt we could develop an interesting music video. This is our original mind map for this idea: Potential song choices: 'Running with the Wolves'- Aurora:     This was one of our first choices. We liked the song, and felt it was relevant, but in the end, decided it was too dark for our new idea.  'The boy who cried Wolf'- Passenger.     For our first idea, we decided to use this song. It was our first choice as it suited the themes and emotion of our idea. It is sad, but not over...
