Ideas

The song 'Follow me down' is part of their new upcoming album 'Going to hell'. An interview with the lead singer reveals that the bands music and persona has changed into a more darker and heavier vibe. When creating my music video I aim to capture this vibe and create a video that will be appealing to the hard rock fans, I want to create a video that captures the more dark, twisted and mysterious side of rock music.

Rock videos usually consist of two collections of film together (narrative and performance). For my video I am going to put together a rock band and film them performing the song, these clips with fit all the stereotypical conventions of a rock band/rock music. The other half of the video will be created to fit the lyrics of the song.

I have also taken insperation from Paramores 'Decode' and want to film parts of the video in the woods. After listening to the song over and over and reading through the lyrics I have considered shooting the opening clip in the woods with the band all performing, as the song goes on I will then use cut aways at the chorus to go back to the shots of the band in the woods.

Follow Me Down..

This is the song I have chosen to create my music video for

Request for permission

To avoid copyright issues I have sent an email to the distributor of The Pretty Reckless:

To:	contact@umusic.com (contact@umusic.com)

Dear Sir or Madame,

I would like to ask permission to use the song "Follow me down" by The Pretty Reckless of Sony's record label Razor and Tie. I am a media student at Shenfield High School in the UK and for our A-level course we have been given the task to create a music video for a song of our choice. The video, once made, will appear on blogger.com and youtube. The use of the song is purely for my A-level course and not for any financial or promotional purposes.
I hope to hear from you soon so that I can avoid any copyright infringements.

Thank you for taking time to read this email,
Yours faithfully,

Lyrics to chosen song

"Whore"

I'm the girl you've been thinking about
The one thing you can't live without
I'm the girl you've been waiting for
I'll have you down on your knees
I'll have you begging for more
You probably thought I wouldn't get this far
You thought I'd end up in the back of a car
You probably thought that I'd never escape
I'd be a rat in a cage, I'd be a slave to this place
You don't know how hard I fought to survive,
Waking up alone when I was left to die
You don't know about this life I've lived,
All these roads I've walked
All these tears I've bled
So how can this be?
You're praying to me
There's a look in your eyes,
I know just what that means
I can be, I can be your everything

I can be your whore!
I am the dirt you created
I am your sinner
I am your whore
But let me tell you something baby
You love me for everything you hate me for

I'm the one that you need and fear
Now that you're hooked, it's all becoming clear
That all your judgments that you placed on me
Was a reflection of discovery
So maybe next time when you cast your stones
From the shadows of the dark unknown
You will crawl up from your hiding place
Take a look in the mirror
See the truth in your face

So how can this be?
You're praying to me
There's a look in your eyes,
I know just what that means
I can be, I can be your everything

I can be your whore!
I am the dirt you created
I am your sinner
I am your whore
But let me tell you something baby
You love me for everything you hate me for

Oh whoa ho, oh whoa ho, oh whoa ho [x2]

I am the dirt you created
I am your sinner
I am your whore
But let me tell you something baby
You love me, you want me, you need me!

I can be your whore!
I am the dirt you created
I am your sinner
I am your whore
But let me tell you something baby
You love me for everything you hate me for

I can be your whore!
I can be your whore!
I can be your whore!
But let me tell you something baby
You love me for everything you hate me for

You love me for everything you hate me for
