My music video is using an alternative an indie soundtrack. Because of this the music is the most important aspect but because of the video being a big part of the soundtrack a memorable and inspiring music video is needed. Most videos correspond or relate to the lyrics of the song, the song I have chosen has no lyrics, by adding no lyrics I have given myself a hard task but it is a challenge more than anything else. The positive side of this fact is I have full creative control on what to add to my music video. The song allows me almost 5 minutes of video and the best way I can think of using that time is part Narrative and part abstract editing. I have previously shown abstract and interesting ideas which are used in editing such as reverse editing, stop animation and slow motion. These can all be used in my music video and if I make a theme, for example an 'Alice in Wonderland' theme (That is the theme I am thinking of using that was not just a random idea) then these techniques can all be used.
Music videos such as Radiohead's ' Street Spirit' video are inspiring and a very good example that a music video does not have to make much sense whatsoever as long as it looks interesting and makes the viewer want to watch it.
Also, Bob Dylan's 'Duquesne Whistle' is a great example of the music video contradicting the tone of a song and breaking conventions of a music video.
