Analysis of official music video.

The original video follows a driver as he goes to wash his dirty hearse. The video is shot in a way that makes it look slightly aged, we aren't sure whether this is because the video is set in the past or whether the video is showing the slightly aged feel sometimes associated with small American towns (like in indie comedy Napoleon Dynamite).

First Graphic Design

This is a first early design for the graphics that will appear in the shopping channel parts of the video.

Initial ideas

The music video will begin with a shot of a person watching TV, he picks up a remote and flicks on the shopping channel. The video will then zoom in on the TV and cut to a short spoof of a shopping channel which we will record. The music ties in with the video when it is introduced by the shopping channel, the person watching TV orders the music/band from the shopping channel which then arrives at his home almost instantly, they open the box and the band/music begins to play. The rest of the video then consists of shots of various shopping channel spoofs and out-takes, broken up by shots of the person changing channel and shots of the band playing. The video ends with a clip of a shopping channel and something going badly wrong.

Graphics involved in our music video

For our music video based on a shopping channel, we will need some shopping channel type graphics on the screen these being similar to the ones shown below.

Inside the boxes are the graphics we hope too create but with slight alterations, these being, rather than the arrows on the left we shall have one solid rectangle with details.
There will also be a comedy twist to the graphics For example comical phrases scrolling across the bottom.
