Stone Roses - I wanna be adored \
The video begins with an establishing shot of a sandy area and this then passes through pyramids. I noticed that with the song being called "i wanna be adored" and the fact that a pyramid is the pinnacle of the opening clip. Pyramids are obviously synonymous with kings and being adored. There is then several uses of pull focus before it then cuts to a long shot of the whole band playing the song on the beach that was previously used.
I feel that through

Brief
I am going to be making a music video for The kooks song "naive". This song falls into the music genre of indie music. In later posts i will be covering and going into further depth about indie music so as to give a better idea of whether our music video meets the conventions of indie music or even possibly challenges them.
The general conventions of indie music are:
1. It is aimed at students or people around the age of late teens, target audience are male and secondary audience female.
2. They always use instruments, most notably acoustic guitar is a quintessential element of indie music. It is also recognised as having a fast tempo and a "feel good aura"
3. Indie music is independent from a label so the listeners of indie music feel that they are music "realists" and that the bands are doing their music for the love of music. However Indie often becomes popular with certain sterotypes of people (as previously mentioned students" and then becomes commercialised "indie pop" and enters the mainstream. This is ironic as this is what indie music is trying to get away from.
4. Use of extreme close ups are prominent within music videos of indie music.

The Kooks - Naive Lyrics/Interpretation
I'm not saying it was your fault
Although you could have done more
Oh you're so naive yet so
How could this be done
Your such a smiling sweetheart
Oh and your sweet and pretty face
In such an ugly way
Something so beautiful
That everytime I look inside
I know that she knows that I'm not fond of asking
True or false it may be
She's still out to get me
I know that she knows that I'm not fond of asking
True or false it may be
She's still out to get me
I may say it was your fault
Cause I know you could have done more
Oh you're so naive yet so
How could this be done
By such a smiling sweetheart
Oh and your sweet and pretty face
In such an ugly way something so beautiful
Everytime I look inside
I know that she knows that I'm not fond of asking
True or false it may be
She's still out to get me
I know that she knows that I'm not fond of asking
True or false it may be
She's still out to get me
How could this be done
By such a smiling sweetheart
Oh you're so naive yet so
Such an ugly thing
Someone so beautiful
And everytime you're on his side
I know she knows that I'm not fond of asking
True or false it maybe be she's still out to get me
And I know she knows that I'm not fond of asking
True or false it maybe be she's still out to get me
Just don't let me down
Just don't let me down
Hold on to your kite
Just don't let me down
Just don't let me down
Hold on to your kite
Just don't let me down
Just don't let me down
Hold on to this kite
Just don't let me down
Interpretation
To me it sounds like she's cheating and he knows it, and she knows he knows, but he doesn't want to bring it up.
lines that support this :
"And everytime you're on his side"
suggest cheating
"I know she knows that I'm not fond of asking"
suggests what i said about him not wanting to bring it up
"Oh you're so naive yet so"
naive in that she thought he wouldnt find out
How this will effect my narrative plan
This will affect my narrative plan for the music video as it will mean that i will have to base the narrative around the lyrics of the song. We already have several ideas for this and these include :
1. A close up shot of a boy with girls talking around him and him showing no emotion or even noticing their existence. This will link well with the idea of naivity throughout the text.
2. Several shots with the boy having a look of distinct worry and nervousness around females. This fits into context with the line "I know she knows that I'm not fond of asking"
3. A mishot of a boy walking noticing the girl he likes walking with another boy and a surge of anger becoming distinctly apparent, this fits into the whole context of the song but in particularly with the repeated line "And everytime you're on his side"

Just don't let me down
Just don't let me down
Hold on to your kite
Just don't let me down
Just don't let me down
Hold on to your kite
Just don't let me down
Just don't let me down
Hold on to this kite
Just don't let me down
