My name is Tom Bowers, I am an ALevel student and Saffron Walden County High School, studying Media Studies at A2. For our coursework, the primary task was to create a music video for a song approximately three and half minutes long; we also have to produce two ancillary tasks as well (producing a DVD cover and magazine advertisement for our chosen Song). The song we have chosen for our music video is a song called 'Friday Nights' by a band called Pistola Kicks.
We agreed as a group that the songs indie/punk/rock style really had the potential to let us be creative with the video. Our song had themes of a mundane, repetitive lifestyle and gave a grey outlook to his everyday life: 'I've tried too hard and now I've had enough', and 'Monday's coming soon, well it's another working week for you'. I did research various bands and songs that were of a similar musical genre, like the Arctic Monkey's Music video 'When the sun goes down', it reflected the same dark/grey perspective on life to the songs lyrics, to see how our song compares. I also looked at a band called The Futureheads; although their song 'Decent days and nights' had a different theme, I liked the use of effects, in sync to the music. From the research, I believe that our song should reflect the lyrics grey and mundane theme.
