Three Music Video Ideas


First Music Video Idea
Dramaphone by Caravan Palace


  • The song 'Dramaphone' is like a remix of a 20s song, and I therefore have based my idea around a Charleston 20's style music video. 
  • It'll be a mixture between naturalistic and abstract. 
  • In one side of the video (the band/lip syncing), it is set in a 20s nightclub, smokey, sexy, tables with red table clothes on them, three girls standing behind a 'radio mic', we see the business of the club. 
  • Other section- 20's charleston dance, black and white (have an idea for splashes of paint producing colour). 
  • Dance, (4 dancers- separately and with partners) in a white box studio space. 
  • The dance scenes will be abstract, quick edits and frantic movements. 
  • There is no real storyline to this music video.
Clothing ideas 


Song lyrics: 

Sassy sisters,
Dressed in nothing but silk underwear.
Silly swingers,
Get your feeling under spell.
Sassy sisters,
Come and taste as sweet as can be.
Silly swingers.

Hey man, what's the matter,
What's he doing standing up there shaking like that?
Ah, well the boys are gonna tell you what to do.
Listen to 'em.

Dressed in nothing.
Dressed in nothing but silk underwear.
Listen to 'em.
Dressed in nothing.
Dressed in nothing but silk underwear.
Dressed in nothing.
Dressed in nothing but silk underwear.
Dressed in nothing but silk underwear.






Second music video idea
'We were wasted' by The Leisure Society


  • Basing my idea on 'Tyrannosaur' the British Independent movie, which has 'We Were Wasted' as it's soundtrack. 
  • Centred around an old man, living in poverty, council estate, lonely, nothing to live for. Black and white effect/ or just faded. 
  • Clips of just his everyday life, extremely mundane. 
  • Lots of grim and grimy settings, dirty armchair, lit by the television, his journey to the shop to buy cigarettes. 

Song lyrics: 

And I will close my eagle eyes
Hang up my skin to dry

We were wasted son
We were wasted all
On the ride, from the nightclub to our drive
On the way we sank

And from the flat above the square
We watch our comrades bare
Their teeth, their souls, their flesh

We were wasted son
We were wasted all
On the ride, from the nightclub to our drive
Oh the way we sank







3rd Music Video Idea
The Maestro by Caro Emerald 


  • Vintage setting again, vintage murderess.
  • Dressed in pencil skirt (black), green blouse and brown furs. She is beautiful, dark haired. Like Caro herself.

  • We see her journey through the victims she has murdered, but its all extremely secretive and dark e.g. back alley ways and the murders are never really shown. 

Song Lyrics:




Presence, elegance, an unmistakable dominance
Behind those steely eyes
Anything you know is coincidence
No one seems to know anything about his age, just his name
He’s always dressed for fame
Uh, the keyser is the maestro


Let it go, dream a bit

To wear a garment so delish

I’d be out of my mind

The slightest designs, the ultimate chemist
Even you ingénue
A gift he can’t buy from you
But if I had to pay I’d sure find a way to break the bank
I’d break the bank that day



Ladies, his designs make the words fall out of a pantomime

Colors, how they flow, go from avant-garde to beyond sublime

History and mystery, he stops the hands of time

The magic skin is mind
‘Cause the keyser is the maestro
