Genre-alternative rock are known for their mainstream rock play style, electronic music used to add some extra effects to their music instead of just instrumental features.
The style is quite dark and gloomy which would suggest that my use of lighting should be dark and gloomy to suggest to the audience the mood in a visual way, mainly soothing but on the 'bare my skin..." it gradually becomes aggressive. I could suggest the pace and the aggressive aspects within the use of cutting beat being reasonably fast so it's quick but the audience can still keep up with the visuals.
Length of the song is 3:43 seconds
Pace slow then gradually increases to a fast pace which would suggest that the aspect of the clips within that section would gradually increase the use of cutting to the beat for a fluent music video with the song.
Meaning of the song is about sacrificing for someone else, this could suggest the use of ho someone took a bullet for someone they loved as a sacrifice like a friend or lover to save them/protect them.
Imagery/Symbolism- The use of repetition of the quote 'bleeding out' suggest the importance to the audience to remember the quote to keep it such in their head so that they'll get the addicted to the song. The quote 'count my sins' suggest that the dark essence within the songs and that the person has done a lot of bad things but this isn't one of them which emphasis the concept of sacrificing for someone else's future which i'll use within the music video. The symbolism by the word 'scarecrow' would suggest the feeling that the person is having that he's just an object to block anyone from destroy the other person's future, who they're sacrificing themselves.
Lyrics
I'm bleeding out
So if the last thing that I do
Is bring you down
I'll bleed out for you
So I bare my skin
And I count my sins
And I close my eyes
And I take it in
I'm bleeding out
I'm bleeding out for you, for you.
When the day has come
That I've lost my way around
And the seasons stop and hide beneath the ground
When the sky turns gray
And everything is screaming
I will reach inside
Just to find my heart is beating
Oh, you tell me to hold on
Oh, you tell me to hold on
But innocence is gone
And what was right is wrong
'Cause I'm bleeding out
So if the last thing that I do
Is to bring you down
I'll bleed out for you
So I bare my skin
And I count my sins
And I close my eyes
And I take it in
And I'm bleeding out
I'm bleeding out for you (for you)
When the hour is nigh
And hopelessness is sinking in
And the wolves all cry
To fill the night with hollering
When your eyes are red
And emptiness is all you know
With the darkness fed
I will be your scarecrow
You tell me to hold on
Oh you tell me to hold on
But innocence is gone
And what was right is wrong
'Cause I'm bleeding out
So if the last thing that I do
Is to bring you down
I'll bleed out for you
So I bare my skin
And I count my sins
And I close my eyes
And I take it in
And I'm bleeding out
I'm bleeding out for you, for you.
I'm bleeding out for you (for you)
I'm bleeding out for you (for you)
I'm bleeding out for you (for you)
I'm bleeding out for you
'Cause I'm bleeding out
So if the last thing that I do
Is to bring you down
I'll bleed out for you
So I bare my skin
And I count my sins
And I close my eyes
And I take it in
And I'm bleeding out
I'm bleeding out for you, for you.
So if the last thing that I do
Is bring you down
I'll bleed out for you
So I bare my skin
And I count my sins
And I close my eyes
And I take it in
I'm bleeding out
I'm bleeding out for you, for you.
When the day has come
That I've lost my way around
And the seasons stop and hide beneath the ground
When the sky turns gray
And everything is screaming
I will reach inside
Just to find my heart is beating
Oh, you tell me to hold on
Oh, you tell me to hold on
But innocence is gone
And what was right is wrong
'Cause I'm bleeding out
So if the last thing that I do
Is to bring you down
I'll bleed out for you
So I bare my skin
And I count my sins
And I close my eyes
And I take it in
And I'm bleeding out
I'm bleeding out for you (for you)
When the hour is nigh
And hopelessness is sinking in
And the wolves all cry
To fill the night with hollering
When your eyes are red
And emptiness is all you know
With the darkness fed
I will be your scarecrow
You tell me to hold on
Oh you tell me to hold on
But innocence is gone
And what was right is wrong
'Cause I'm bleeding out
So if the last thing that I do
Is to bring you down
I'll bleed out for you
So I bare my skin
And I count my sins
And I close my eyes
And I take it in
And I'm bleeding out
I'm bleeding out for you, for you.
I'm bleeding out for you (for you)
I'm bleeding out for you (for you)
I'm bleeding out for you (for you)
I'm bleeding out for you
'Cause I'm bleeding out
So if the last thing that I do
Is to bring you down
I'll bleed out for you
So I bare my skin
And I count my sins
And I close my eyes
And I take it in
And I'm bleeding out
I'm bleeding out for you, for you.
Proposal of music video
Since the concept of the song is sacrificing for other and the style which is used within the music video would be narrative since it tells the story of a big brother fighting to get money to give his younger sibling a better future by sacrificing his future, quite dark compared to their other songs I could suggest the I would use as a suggestion to the dark aspects would be the use of dark lighting or have a black and white filter to it. Within the start I would show a clip of someone who's been shot on the floor close up to their face zooming out from his face then gradually in a slow pace since the pace within the song at the start is quite slow, then shows another scenes which could be before that scene at the start to become like a fictional style to the video so show a setting and a guy who needs to fight to feed his family and then changes to the beat to another scene with him who is at their house trying to protect and feed his brother since their mum and dad have left them, the lighting would have to be grey and cloudy out side. Then, when it start heading to the 'I'm bleeding out' and speeds the pace up when it goes to a louder beat shows the fighter punching someone in a competition. This would create a fiction, aggressive style to it to maintain the thought of sacrificing in this case a story of sacrificing their own life for fighting to feed your family member for them to have a happier life.
The techniques I will be using in this music video would be cutting to the beat to link the pace of the music into the video to give it a smooth way to transition through the video without making it look rough to the audience. I would also use for lighting would mostly use of grey gloomy sky's to make it still have a sense of the dark feel within the song to the visual aspects of the video. I would also be using mostly pan and zoom technique to also contribute to a smooth transition with cutting to the beat so it could could seen as a story that has more to come due to the transition. The camera types I would use are close ups and extreme close up and cut away/insert shot on the guy who's sacrificing his future for another to sense a symbolic entity within the video to show how he's suffering but only has one thing on his mind to keep going to save the other person from making his mistakes, mid shots and full body long shots within the clips of the fighting and where he's walking to the place he's going to fight and pauses in front of the school looks to it then walks away putting his hoodie up to suggest he's lost hope for himself but not on the other person. A establishing shot at the end of the video of the school to link to the thought of him loosing his hope.
Financially, I would feel that the production would cost depending on the props and costumes which would be around £100+, the camera would be £100-£300 depending on the quality of the camera. editing hardware and softwares would probably cost £0-£100, actors would be £5 per hour. However, since my equipment and actor have already been given to me the production costs of my video would be £0.
