Music Video - Kooks


Kooks – seaside (journey to the seaside)
I decided to also look at music that doesn’t already have a music video, because I think it’s easier to be more imaginative and collect more ideas.
The Kooks – seaside, is an example of a song that doesn’t yet have a music video. I had a huge burst of different ideas that I could use to create a video to match the song.

Some of my vague ideas:

  •      A map at the start pinpointing the main seaside towns that people go to visit during the ‘do you want to go to the seaside’ opening lyrics.
  •      Have an image of a stereotypical couple in a car heading to the seaside, having a laugh and singing to the radio, making it obvious that the guy is completely in love with the girl.
  •      I then thought about using a technique where you can fastforward a journey using GoPro. Which allowed me to quickly show the journey to the seaside, without boring the audience, but making the video have more realism.

  •       After that, they would arrive at the beach and an image of the couple messing around in the sea, walking along the beach, having a campfire etc. showing that they are having a great time. I think these activities are stereotypically the types of happenings that occur when a couple goes to the seaside. The reason I am generalising this is based from the amount of trips others and I have had to the beach and noticed this type of behaviour.
