Who are Paramore?

Paramore -"That's What You Get"

Album Riot

As I chose the song and came up with the idea I specifically wanted a narrative storyline and performance based music video, and the song "That's What You Get" perfectly fits my theme for the my music video, as the meaning is very clear and fitting.

I chose Paramore over Muse's "SuperMassive Black Hole" as the beat is much more faster and in general a more expressive song.

The band paramore consists of Hayley Williams (lead vocalist/keyboard), Josh Farro (lead guitar/backing vocals), Jeremy Davis (bass guitar), Zac Farro (drums) and Taylor York (rhythm guitar)

The genre of Paramore is more of alternative rock then anything else, and Riot was their second album to be released, it was described as exploring "a diverse range of styles, however not straying far from their signature sound."

Paramore "That's What You Get" Lyrics

That’s what you get
No sir, well I don't wanna be the blame, not anymore.
It's your turn, so take a seat we're settling the final score.
And why do we like to hurt so much?

I can't decide
You have made it harder just to go on
And why, all the possibilities, well I was wrong

That's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa.
That's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa.
I drowned out all my sense with the sound of its beating.
And that's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa.

I wonder, how am I supposed to feel when you're not here.
'Cause I burned every bridge I ever built when you were here.
I still try, holding onto silly things, I never learn
Oh why, all the possibilities I'm sure you've heard.

That's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa.
That's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa.
I drowned out all my sense with the sound of its beating (beating)
And that's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa.

Pain make your way to me, to me.
And I'll always be just so inviting.
If I ever start to think straight,
This heart will start a riot in me,
Let's start, start, hey!

Why do we like to hurt so much?
Oh why do we like to hurt so much?

That's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa!
That's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa.
That's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa.
Now I can't trust myself with anything but this,
And that's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa.

Final Proposal

Artist/Band: Paramore

Track: That's What You Get

Album: Riot

Genre: Rock

Channels: MTV, MTV One and Two, TMF, Kerrang,

Characteristics: Performance and storyline

Channel for Broadcast: MTV, KERRANG, SCUZZ, TMF (As the song is rock based)

Target Audience: I Believe that the age can range to teenagers to young adults, who are both male and female of any ethnicity.

Style of Music Video: Our video is going to be fast-paced to go with the beat of the song, with angles such as over the shoulder, tilts, pans, etc the whole video is going to be in different colour reflecting the characters mood, this can be done through editing.

My music video is essentially has the same concepts to go with my song "That's What You Get" I wanted obviously to have the same themes so that the concepts would be the same, so that I could create a good music video. My music video is about a girl and a boy and their relationship falling apart. The video is completely all about the girl, where as the boy doesn't actually feature in the music video, but the sense of him and video footage are ultimately about him to.

The first scene will be a medium long shot of the girl arguing on the phone, this then moves onto a medium close up of the the girl crying from the argument, from the close up we can see her emotions and that she is distressed. She then looks down to see a photo in her hands, an over the shoulder shot will be used to show this scene. The camera cuts away to the next scene of her miming to the song.

A low/high angle will be used when the character is walking down the stairs to show the audience are submissive towards her, after her argument she has arranged to met the person and is now on her way out to see them. This is shown through a close up of her mobile phone ringing once again that this person wants to meet. The shot moves onto the next scene of her walking out the door, which she slams, the music track then stops to show the abruptness and slam of the door. The music track begins when she puts in her head phone and walks aways from the house. Then again the music video cuts away to her miming the song and back again to the shot.

There are several different shots of her walking down the street, one consists of her walking towards the camera, and walking away from the camera, forward/reverse tracking. The next shot is a pans of her walking across the street and a close up of her shoes walking across the street.

Point of View's will be used to show that she is looking for the person as they are late, I will then distort the image with the use of editing to show her state of mind and emotions, the point of view is to add a different element to the music video and get a insight to our character.

Different Ideas

Artist/Band: Muse

Track: Supermassive Black Hole

Album: Black Holes and revelations

Genre: Rock

Channels: MTV, TMF, HITS

Characteristics: Mainly Abstract with Performences

Idea

As the song is a metaphor for black holes we worked this into out music video with our two characters where the girl was seen the be the "Black Hole" metaphorically, out character was portryaed as someone who was emotionaless and empty, where our other character a male who was confused and wanted to be free of the girl. We portrayed our charcaters in this way to fit with the lyrics and messages of the song.

The opening of the video is a layed effects of the male character putting up different images of blackholes on his wall, it would be quick paced with tilts, pans and dissolves. The shot then would go into a medium close up of the boy imagining to see the girl appear infront of him, the camera then would then follow his gaze to see the medium long close up of the girl. The shot then goes into a close up of the girl as her eyes are closed, when she opens her eyes they are deep black with the connotations of the supermassive black hole. The camera slowly zooms out and she smiles.

The next scene consists of an over the shoulder shot of the girl watching the guy melting an ice cream with a lighter, this goes with the lyrics of "(you set my soul alight) Glaciers melting in the dead of night". This then goes into a extreme close up of the ice cream melting, so that the audience can see the effects of the lighter and see the melting "drops" of ice cream. The ice cream then floors to the floor, with the camera tilting down to show three other ice creams melting. With the use of editing the out line of the puddle of ice cream would turn black, again with the connotations of the supermassive black hole, the darkness seeping into the puddle, (the blackhole).

As our video was going to be very fast paced with quick fluid shots between eachother, as the next shot was going to go back to the images of the black holes on the wall, again with pans, tilts and dissolves.

For the next scene I was going to have the characters both walking towards the camera in a split screen and then they would merge to be one of the characters, this would lead on to being the male character who then shakes his head in confused this is shown through a 36o shot of the camera showing his state of mind.

The music video would end with the girl dissapering and the wall that the black hole images turning completely deep balck.
