New ideas to add to the music video

As we show the female breaking up with her ex, towards the end of the music video when we showed this to the class they thought it would be better to show a reason why they split up, so for this we decided to look at some romance music videos and see what happens in them, and how we can decide what extra to put into ours.

When we looked at one, Keri Hilson - Knock you down feat Kanye West and Neyo, and towards the end of this video they show the main female Keri Hilson stood in the middle with the two guys on either side of her, and we wanted to include something like this into our music video. Also it showed split screens showing her with both of the males, but one she was arguing with and the other guy she was having fun and laughing with, and this is one of the ideas that we wanted to show in our video because it shows the audience her with another guy and this could be the reason why they split up and this is again meeting the conventions of romance music videos

In this screenshot we see the male who later on in the video becomes her ex, we see a split screen with him on the right and then letters on the left hand side up in flames, which could suggest that they are letters from an ex or someone that they dont want to remember anymore and they do this to get over somebody. 

In this image this is showing the split screens, of the female with the two different guys. When we first watched this we both instantly liked the idea of showing the female with one guy having fun but arguing with the other, as this sets the base for why they broke up.

In this image, we see the female in the centre of the two males with them stood either side. Having the males stood staring at each other, squaring up to each other could imply that they are both dominant males and dont like being knocked down by the other. Neither of them are bothered by the female stood in the middle, and as they were fighting over her.





Some of the ideas that we thought would be good to include:

• Show the female having fun with another male, but with her ex stood watching her - she doesnt realise that her ex can see everything going on, and this is something that happens in a lot of relationships, but not many people realise.
• Have the female stood in between the two males squaring up to each other - it will show that she realises now what mess she has got herself into, and it is a situation that only she can get herself out of, but it will also show the damage that she has done to the males, as they are just the same as females they have emotions and feelings and these get hurt easily as well they just dont tend to show it.

When we asked some people from our target audience what sort of things they felt would help improve our video they said that showing a reason why they broke up, would make the story a lot clearer to them even though they understand what is going on anyway.
