A Potential Music Video Idea by Hayley Donovan

As a group we looked on YouTube at many different  music videos, that we thought could help us with ideas that we could incorporate into our music video. The song i chose to look at was 'Hungry like the wolf' by Duran Duran; i chose this songs as it had an upbeat tempo and a happy Ora around it. While listening to this video myself and Jay thought about the 'BIG FREEZE' that took place in London's 'Trafalgae Square' and New York's 'Grand Central Station' and also the 'T-Mobile' advert that had the break out of dance from hidden dancers in the public.
         By having these ideas we thought that if we were to choose this song as a group it would be best to situate the music video into the heart of London For Example-  In Leicester Square, Trafalgar Square or Piccadilly Circus and have people dancing all the way through the video.
     We thought that dancing was the best idea to portray the song as it would match the pace of the music; which is a major convention of all music videos -( The pace of the video matches the pace of the song).


However , there are negatives to this idea. Firstly to pull off the 'Big Dance' we would need a huge amount of people for it to look effective and as we are filming in school and work hours it would be very difficult to get a large amount of people to participate. Also before we even started to look for an idea we didn't want to make the video look armature , but we this idea is would be difficult to make it look professional and well presented.
