Ideas/Inspirational Music Videos

Martina McBride - Concrete Angle


I like the theme this music video raises and the way the lyrics and narrative connects. The young girl is a victim of child abuse who finds a friend , who we are lead to be a angel. The young girl is beaten to death and at the end of her funeral we see all the children who are victims of child abuse turned into angels. The angels are all happy and walk away together as their pain and suffering have now gone.
The structure of the music video is simple to follow and changes from the artist singing to the narrative.

Justin Bieber - Love Yourself


Jess Glynne - Take Me Home


Bars and Melody - Hopeful



Sia - Big Girls Cry



Katherine Jenkins - Angel



Jessie J - Who's Laughing Now




Jessie J - Who You Are




Alan Walker - Faded




The message of this video is very important in the similar message which I am trying to show.
I have interpreted this video to mean that the young needs to face himself by going back to his birth place. The video has a clear narrative.

Conventions

• Take place within a school
• Uniform
• Lack of teachers
• More than one person doing the bullying
• About the individual being different
• Cyber Bullying
• Physical Bullying
• Verbal Bullying
• About reaching a limit of tolerance to being bullied
• The bully doesn't show sadness

Although this music video has been made by a student there are conventions which seem to apply to this video. From watching this video it has allowed me to collect some ideas of what I may use in my music video such as elements from within the mise-en-scene.
