Listening to a music video


Visualise - When listening to the song without looking at the visuals on the screen, I imagined a night club setting with flashing lights and dancing people. I did this because of its seemingly disco/DJ genre, with repetitive sounds and no words as well as the occasional beat drop.

Images - I visualised a night club when listening to the music video, flashing cinema-photography of dancing people, a DJ on stage, a bar and alcohol. These images came to mind seemingly as if they were cutting on the beat, knowingly that the visuals would change in a match cut whenever the beat changed too high or low base.

Colour - When listening to the song I visualised flashing iridescent lights in a night club, contrasted to a dark atmosphere filled with people. 

Singer - As there were no lyrics in the song i simply imagined a DJ on top of a stage.


Transforming visuals into a music video

When listening to the song multiple times I imagined a clear setting of a nightclub, a medium sized area buzzing with different people. The style I feel would be a DJ/techno like genre within a dark atmosphere only lit with flashing iridescent lights coming from above. My audience would be able to see the dancing people, possibly choose one to be a main character that leads us throughout the nighclub/night from a POV shot. This would entail showing the audience the singer and band playing, giving clear visuals of this throughout. The music video could take the audience on a specific persons night out, demonstrating the highs and lows of a city life, it could demonstrate the dangers and highlights of a night out, possibly from a women's perspective contrasted to a males and how these are very much different in this situation. To satisfy an specific audiences pleasure, the target audience maybe being teens/young adults who enjoy the night life, the visuals could include alcohol, drugs, relationships, night clubs, etc. I could include intertextuality from other music videos of references of other artists or genres that fit the theme of the music video and lyrics.
