Run the World - Dayglow
'Run the World' was written by Dayglow during the lockdown of 2020. The message within the lyrics that Dayglow wanted to get across was, "Quarantine sucks; I want tor run the whole freaking world." This could potentially attract the audience into wanting to listen to the song or watch the video as many people would be able to relate to the meaning behind the lyrics as 2020 lockdown was arguably a tough time for all. With the up-beat and catchy chorus, it is hard to not feel uplifted. The song 'inspires elation' for those who listen which is why I believe it could be considered as an anthem.
Brazil - Declan McKenna
Declan McKenna rose to fame after the official popular release of 'Brazil' in 2017, despite being self-released in 2014 through Mckenna's own YouTube channel. Brazil is believed to be a protest song that criticized FIFA after they opted to decide that the 2014 World Cup should be hosted in Brazil while not fully taking into account the economic and social situation of the country. With constant references throughout the song to the situation within Brazil. It highlights the corruption within the football community as well as the corruption around the choices of Sepp Blatter (previous FIFA secretary). I believe that it could be considered an anthem as it encapsulates the need for change and help within Brazil and could be classed as a 'celebratory symbol for a group' as it aims to make a change for those in Brazil.
Acquiesce - Oasis
Previously played in gigs throughout the 90s, but officially released in 1998 ' ' was one of Oasis' most popular songs amongst fans. The verses within the song are sung by Liam Gallagher whereas the chorus' are sung by brother and writer, Noel Gallagher. According to music writer and critic, Paul Du Noyer, "The song is about a friendship in the widest sense and not, as often speculated, about the Gallagher brothers themselves." The song could be considered an anthem as it brings people together and encourages community between friend, families and more.
Alright -Supergrass
Supergrass released 'Alright' in 1995 and featured on the 'Clueless' soundtrack which helped the band and song rise to fame. It reached second place in the charts and is one of the bands most successful singles. Despite the band having other ideas in how the song should be interpreted or the genuine meaning behind it, many consider it the 'bona fide teen anthem' due to the 'upbeat lyrics and cheerful piano tune' which was inline with the zeitgeist during the 90s when Britpop was growing in popularity. The video was directed by Dom and Nic and was filmed in Portmeirion, North Wales. The video uses intertextual references to 'The Prisoner' by using the same location.
Within my music video, I would intend to keep with the 90s theme and 'vibe'. I aim to create a fun, up-beat and generally happy video that encourages community and fun amongst friends. I aim to follow the narrative of a young man throughout summer, while having other shots other different people 'hanging out' and having fun with friends. I will use a wide variety of mise-en-scene much like the original video but this time include international destinations as well as national ones to really follow the narrative.
