Chosen Song
We have chosen to make a music video for the song 'No Love Lost' by Joy Division.
We have also chosen the theme of our video and we have a general idea of what we would like to be in it. The band will be represented as 3 girls carrying out the kind of rebellious attitudes that the band represent and that most music at the time represented, and the video will be all in black and white.

Reasearch into chosen genre
Our chosen genre is punk rock which is a genre widely spread over years from the 70's to the present.
An example of an underground punk rock band from the 70's is The Sex Pistols. They were one of the first mose famous English punk rock bands and their music video for their controversial song 'God Save the Queen' is simple but classicly 70's punk.
This video is mostly the band performing, though there is a visual narrative to help support the message being sent out in the song. The song is about the government lying to the public and all the corruption that is going on at the time. The lyrics 'They made you a moron, Potential H-bomb' suggest two powerful messages. One being that the government have lied to the public and they believed it willingly and the H-bomb being that the government are becoming self destructive which is represented in the video in the frame below.
This music video sends out so many influential messages of rebellion to the viewer. The lead singer, Johnny Rotten, is wearing a ripped vest top with the word 'DESTROY' on the front with a can of beer in his hand and he has orange hair. This is presenting himself, his band and his music with a certain out rebellious out look which the mis en scene of the band in the video clearly sends out.
An example of modern day punk is Green Day. Their song 'American Idiot' clearly outlines their criticism of american society, and the music video cleverly integrates their own personal individual stlye aswell as portraying the song.
As seen in the frame below Green Day encorporate their ideals into the video while still putting emphasis on the band by having an American flag behind a band member painted messily in Green, making refernces to the band name. This allows the audience to feel influenced by the band and their ideals and perhaps adds humour to the video as the band make fun of Americans and are almost sarcastic about the green flag in the background.
This next frame shows a close up of the leads singers face when the music gets quieter and there's a drum solo. The lyrics at this point are 'subliminal mind fuck america', and by using this close up with these lyrics make them stand out and imprint on the audience.
