chosen song analysis

The song I have chosen is White stripes- its true that we love one another. 

This song is about the love shared between Jack white hall and Holly. The song contains certain levels of humour but also declaring there love for each other. 

 It's True That We Love One Another"

Well it's true that we love one another
I love Jack White like a little BROTHER
Well Holly I love you too but there's
Just so much that I don't know about you

Jack give me some money to pay my bills
All the dough I give you Holly
You been using on pain pills
Jack will you call me if you're able?
I got your phone number written
In the back of my bible
Jack I think your pulling my leg
And I think maybe I better ask Meg
Meg do you think Jack really loves me?
You know, I don't care because
Jack really bugs me
Why don't you ask him now?
Well I would Meg
I really just don't know how
Just say 'Jack , do you adore me?'
Well I would Holly but love really bores me
Well maybe we should just be friends
I'm just kidding Holly
You know that I'll love you 'til the end

Well it's true that we love one another
I love Jack White like a little brother
Well Holly I love you too but there's
Just so much that I don't know about you

Holly give me some of your English lovin'
If I did that Jack I'd have one in the oven
Why don't you go off and just love yourself
If I did that Holly there won't be anything
Left for anybody else
Jack it's too bad about the way you look
You know I gave that horse a carrot
So he'd break your foot
Will the two of you cut it out
And tell 'em what it's really all about

Well it's true that we love one another
I love Jack White like a little brother
Well Holly I love you too but there's
Just so much that I don't know about you

The reason I think I could make a great eye catching music video with this song is mainly down to the story line. It shows the arguing and teasing that any couple that truly love each other have. My idea for the video is to recreate this story line, to have one a boy acting as Jack, a girl as Holly and another girl as Meg who is the best friend/Councillor of the story. However for it to stick with in the audiences mind I must incorporate other effects. Usually in the genre of acoustic there is little lighting and hi-fi technology used as is it seen not to fit the mood of the genre. However I think by combining the the two together will create something that audiences will remember.

Inspirations for chosen song. 

My inspiration for the idea of this video came from a music video from Gotye with his number one single somebody that I used to know. In this video it shows the love story between the two and how they fell out and now do not look at them in the same way. you can also how they have used the painting the background. Ways in which this video and mine will be similar is that mine will follow a story line of love but in a happier and more jolly mood to this.

Another inspiration to create this style of video is from the musical Grease. The first song in the musical is summer lovin. This is where both Sandy and Danny are singing about there love story over the summer not realizing that they are both at the same school. During the song it flicks from Danny to Sandy, so the audience know how they feel for one another but the actors don't, this adds tension to the story as the audience wan them to meet and fall in love.

lighting and effects

Because of the happy nature of the song I want to use bright colours. In the song there are moments where the mood changes, so I want to have the background representing the moods. For example to have the bright colors shown on the left when they are singing about there love for one another, but one they start to tease and argue it will go back to an ordinary background.

The picture shown one the right is the sort of effect I want to employ into my music video. As you can see by standing in front of the projector makes her become part of the background which I think is very effective.
