1. My Chosen Idea
A2 MEDIA STUDIES
COURSEWORK

2. • I have chosen to create a music video for the song ‘If I Had a Tail’ by
Queens of The Stone Age:
• http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RjYZToXuJaM
• My music video will be a ‘Comedy/Fantasy’ video
• The song lyrically is trying to represent a person who feels they are better
than others
• In my video I will try and represent this character and why people like this
shouldn’t think that they are greater than anyone else
• Overall I am trying to show that there should be an equilibrium in the way
people treat each other
• “Treat people as you yourself want to be treat”
MY IDEA

3. • I have gathered ideas for my video from music videos such as:
• ‘All I Want’ by Kodaline
• ‘The Bad Touch’ by Bloodhound Gang
• And ‘Sugar we’re goin down’ by Fall Out Boy
• All of these songs have music videos that in someway relate to mine
• I have shown in more detail of this on my blog:

MY INSPIRATIONS

4. • The most used channels shown by my
audience research are ‘KERRANG’
& ‘SCUZZ’
• This means I WILL have an audience
that will watch my video
• It also means my target audience will
have high expectations of a rock
music video
AUDIENCE RESEARCH

5. • What most people want to see in
music videos is a mix of:
• Performance
• Narrative
• And Concept
• This is has helped me decide what
to put in my music video
AUDIENCE RESEARCH

6. • The most popular types of humor
are:
• Insult Comedy
• And Alternative Comedy
• My research has helped me in
choosing what type of comedic
scenes to use
• This will help me make it more
amusing for them and overall
more enjoyable
AUDIENCE RESEARCH

7. • As I have nearly finished the pre-production of my video, I expect the
whole project to be finished by around January 2015
• The production of my video I expect to not take longer than a week or
two
• Then the post-production work, i.e. the cutting, editing and finishing of
my work a bit longer, maybe a month depending on how much time I get
to edit it in college
VIABILITY

8. • For my music video I will only need one particular outfit- Devil horns and
tail for my main character
• I will need around 10 characters for my video which I can source from
around college
• And for clips of a band I will use my own band for this footage
• To record the video I will need a video camera, microphone and fisheye
lense (for the band footage)
• I will need a good editing software on the computers, something like ‘Sony
Vegas Pro’ is a good example of this
• Overall I don’t feel like this will be a challenge for me to get
VIABILITY
