Name of band: Imagine Dragons
Title of track: Monster
Outline of ideas: I have warmed towards the idea of making an intertextual reference to Dracula in this music video, with the lyrics being easily relatable to the concept of vampirism of such. The idea is that the protagonist is in his bedroom finding difficulty in sleeping.. As he battles with himself and the song progresses he grows more and more uncomfortable and finds it harder to contain himself. There will also be scenes at night where he is walking on his own looking out of place as a crowd of people get on with their lives, indicating the contrast between himself and the rest. The protagonist will have a love interest who will fall as his first and only victim in the video, with the video potentially ending with an indication of her transforming into a vampire as well.
Resources I will need:
Actors- Male protagonist, female protagonist, extras (pedestrians to make the video look more legit and have a realistic feel).
Props- Dracula costume, make-up, fake blood, fangs.
Settings- Bedroom, bathroom, cemetery, public road or park.
Justification of ideas in relation to genre and artists: My ideas for the music video more or less extract the stereotypical conventions of the respected genre, being indie and rock, with the motif of darkness and extremely strong meaning behind the words. The Gothic nature of the narrative I have decided upon suits well with the genre and it is a video that the band who this song belongs to would use.
