Originally I was in a group of four and we decided to make a music video for Lady Gaga's song 'Boys Boys Boys' but whilst planning our video the group split up. Now im working with one other person and we decided to change our song idea to Rihanna's 'California King Bed'.
Whilst planning for our music video, we watched several Rihanna music videos on youtube to try and get an idea of key themes that are included in them so we could make our video recognisable as a Rihanna video. Her videos usually have a narrative structure, normally with a theme of love or heartbreak. The video that stood out that could help with ideas for our own video was 'Unfaithful'. The video has a simple yet affective story line and the costumes are similar to the one we plan on using.
When thinking about what we wanted to include in our music video, we brainstormed our ideas and worked out how we would shoot them and how they would fit into the story we wanted to create. As the lyrics to the song provide great imagery we decided it would be effective if we acted out certain lines of the song. We also decided to make the story about a couple who have broken up but are struggling to come to terms with their split.
After putting together our ideas we were able to come up with a clear and easy to follow narrative for the audience. We also feel that the story we want to create would be believable as a Rihanna video.
