Paramore: Misery Business

As our genre is Pop Rock, we viewed two different artists to find any conventions which fit our music video genre. Paramore, is more of a rock band. We were inspired by the background of the band shots as it read 'Riot' which is relevant to the atmosphere of the song. We decided that our song fitted the same idea however it was necessary to tone it down as our song didn't have the same power as the one below.

We also looked at the use of both narrative and band shots in this video. The balance seemed to work well and there was a distinction between the lead singer and the main character in the narrative which we thought was similar to how we pictured our music video.

We took the lead singer's image and decided that she defeated all the conventions of female stereotypes whereas the lead in the narrative was more conventional was here made up face, revealing dress and attitude. We liked the idea of the two sides of female portrayal.
