James Bay - Let it go
James bay is an English born singer and he soul produces indie pop/indie rock music.
As I couldn’t find any story of why he wrote this song I had to use my imagination along with the lyrics. The music video will be based on the loss of his girlfriend which links with the name of the song ‘let it go’. The title of the song interested me as it says ‘it’ in the title (let it go), which makes it seem that he lost his girlfriend through an argument or something small that she can’t let go. Therefore making it seem like he wants to forget about the past and he wants to focus on the future that he may or may not have with his girlfriend.
The Music Video would be located in an big abandoned mansion/house to illustrate his ‘loneliness’ and ‘lost’. The ‘loneliness’ is key as the music video would illustrate him imagining his girlfriend in a ghostly figure (not in dead sense! but rather in an imagination) i.e. the protagonist in bed with his girlfriend then she fades away in his hands helping to convey the loss of his girlfriend and control.
The protagonist would be in a hangover during the opening of the music video as he get out of bed and as he gets up he notices a picture of him and his girlfriend, then he tares it in half (see the anger/sadness on his face). Then it is reversed all the way back to bed (start), to convey he is going back to the past (may use a fade to black transition as the reverse shot goes into the blanket).
I believe this video fits in with the style of the singer because it is very low key which is common for the genre indie. As the music video would be very specific towards the target audience through the singers believes. It also had a deep and meaningful story within the music video rather than it having just random story as its suits the genre.
TASK 2
Homepage:
- > when you first opens the page it ask you to subscribe making the website seem like its only for the ‘real’ fans giving them the latest updates…
- > It would be just him with his simple/sketchy looks (illustrating its all about the music not the fame and money like ed Sheeran)
Video:
Digi Front cover:
Very simplistic cover which reminds me a lot of ed Sheeran’s cover ‘X’.
It would consist of a real clear picture of him. Only of one its edited to make him seem like the drawing of all his albums
I think for James Bay we would carry on the style of the drawing but of him with one arm out (like letting go)
