Hello there!
Today, I’m going to share the 2 music videos that I’ve been watching for the past couple of days. The artist featuring these videos is actually my favorite. He used to be in a boy group in South Korea before and now, he’s a solo artist in China and has successfully launched his career as an actor, singer, dancer, and endorser and has graced a lot of magazine covers and TV appearances.
The other reason I posted this is because it is one of my dreams to direct a music video. I grew up watching MTV, Channel V and MYX and I am fascinated on how a story is condensed into a three or four minute song (and the idea that you can work with your favorite music artists. hehe).
So for today, I’ll be sharing about my ideas influenced by LUHAN’s Your Song and Promises music video!
1. YOUR SONG
MY REACTION: This video has a charming and very romantic concept. The sketches that floats around the video, other special effects, flowers and pastel colored setting and the flash mob scene somehow fits the romantic yet light vibe of the song. I like how there’s a funny element to it especially at the end. If you are a fan girl, then you will definitely go mushy over the video because of the lyrics, the flow of the story, and the serenade-like scene near the end (with the intense eye contact).
THE IDEA I GOT FROM THIS VIDEO: If I’m going to make a rom-com story, I will definitely take pointers from this video especially if my main character is the sweet, feminine type. I will make the male protagonist the gentleman type who surprises his girlfriend at a park through a flash mob. This sounds cliché so the twist is, the guy is a celebrity and fell in love with one of his fans which is the girl (and this is what you call…my fantasy. Hahaha).
2. PROMISES
MY REACTION: Although I think this is an Ad for a mobile phone brand (not sure), I must say that the story is solid throughout the video. The product placement is not too distracting and the concept is actually very interesting. The story is about a guy (played by Luhan) who constantly and fortuitously met a girl in different places. He took pictures and looks attracted or in love with her. But one day, the girl got involved in an accident. With this, the guy made a time machine (or watch) and turn back to the time when the girl was still alive and got the chance to know and spend time with her. The story concludes with the guy dropping the time machine or watch in the shoreline.
THE IDEA I GOT FROM THIS VIDEO: I would like to connect this with my idea from the first video. For this one, the girl (who is a fan of the guy) persistently shows up at his concerts, events and guest appearances. They've been to a lot of fan-artist interaction but only became personal when the girl was luckily chosen to be serenaded by her idol on-stage…and was followed by secret café dates and etc.
I think I'm too absorbed by my fan girl feelings for this one. Obviously, the ideas I have are the fancies of a fan girl (SO ME). But I guess this type of story is amusing to tell or do because some can relate to it. I know so many fan girls who are great fan fiction writers and a lot of people and fan girls alike read their works because it is not only dreamy and sweet but there’s this sort of connection that we feel like we know each other and we got the same feeling or adoration for our favorites.
Also, I think it would be interesting to do a fan-artist story or a story about the perspective of being a fan girl. I don’t know if it’s just me but the idea sounds exciting, cool and new. Hehe.
So, what do you guys think?
Please put a comment, opinion or suggestion if you want to.
You can also fan-girl with me if you want. Haha.
