Three Ideas for music videos

1. My first idea was for a recent song by a hip hop/rap artist called Travi$ Scott , the song is called 'Drugs you should try it ' . The song is quite mellow and calm for a hip hop track , it depicts good memories Travi$ Scott had with a girl and falls between reality and a dream where he and her share good memories . Its hard to distinguish whether the 'girl' in the song is actually a metaphor for drugs that Travi$ has encountered as an upcoming artist.
     Some of the lyrics are shown below :

I tried it, it feels right
This feels nice

I've been down and lost for days
Glad I found you on the way

When the day gets better, the night gets brighter
I always feel this way
Through the hills
I hear you callin', miles and miles away

We up all night, from dawn to dust it's always poppin'
I fell in love, fell outta love, we both had options

I played the drums, she rolled the joints
I rocked the club, we both throw up
We was the band you never heard before
You got that tat above your crack
And on your cat you be right back
Your momma never know
We was rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin' stones
When I'm all alone I wish you had a clone
I take that puff, you take that puff
You know we never can overdose





The idea was to have more of a story based video , following the themes in the lyrics , where travi$ follows and spends the day with the girl of his dreams for her to then disappear before nightfall . Inspiration for the idea came from another music video of his called upper echelon , I wanted to use similar themes from the upper echelon video like the setting of a dark / cold / foggy forest , and the encounters of weird and mysterious people / objects . The photos below are from the upper echelon video :












 


2.My second idea is for an older song called 'Big Tree' by stand high patrol.

  1. A satisfactory start to the term with Summer holiday work completed in a basic way– you have tried to identify three artists/ groups with three different images.style. I also like the research you have completed into the music industry which demonstrates good knowledge and understanding of the need for the reception of a musical artist as a product and advertised via a promotional campaign.
