Chosen Song and Video Idea

The song we have chosen to produce our media package for is Brick by Boring Brick by Paramore, a five-piece alternative rock band from Franklin, Tennessee.

The lyrics (which can be read here ) of the song present the idea of the contrasting and conflicting worlds of fantasy and reality, an idea we have chosen to focus on in a literal sense when we produce our music video. We wish to present a largely literal representation of the lyrics and the tale they tell of a girl, placed in a scenario similar to that of a fairytale, refusing to live in real life until it's too late. The style of music video that we wish to create will allow us to showcase a range of techniques, including artwork and animation. As the song does not already have an official music video, we feel this allows us to have sufficient creative vision for the video that won't affected by a preconceived idea of what it 'should' be like, as may have happened with another song which already has one.
