Music video IDEA 1

My first idea for a possible music video would be the song 'I say a little prayer for you' by Aretha Franklin. This idea would consist of a boy revealing himself as a transvestite.

The video would be of a regular teenage boy dressing up as a drag queen in the mirror in his bedroom filled with posters of footballers he then walks down the street being abused by other boys because he is dressed differently he then enters a bar where he having fun with lots of people, where he clearly feels comfortable.However this is all in reverse so it actually starts with him in the bar and finishes with him just a regular teenage boy about to put his make up on. This holds the suspense for the audience so they can try and work out what is happening for themselves to reveal a big bold statement at the end. It is also filmed all in one shot to keep the music video in full moving motion at all times which helps the audience understand the process in a more logical way.

The artist is a female, she is bold and different she wears interesting clothes and is not afraid to make statements. She is recognisable and edgy. She is similar to Lady Gaga who wants to shock her audience showing she is capable of anything.  For example a picture of her wearing a dress made of meat.
The performance involves a lot of costume and props for example drag dresses, high heels, make up, hand bags, a wig. The extravagant costume outlines the fact our artists video is bold and different.
The stylistic elements are that to keep the video fluid it is filmed in one shot and because of all the colour and extravagance it is to be filmed in the style of famous movie director Wes Anderson to outline this.

The video fits in with the track very well because the song is about a woman who is concerned about her beauty and this is ironic because the boy feels his best when in drag and that shows the audience there is a deeper meaning to what is on the surface which ties perfectly in to why the video fits in with the brand image of the artist because our artist is bold and different transvestitism isn't a topic that is discussed openly a lot so it is a brave subject for a music video which supports the entire themes and feelings of the artist entirely.
