Some Narrative Ideas for our Music Video

With the lyrics implying a relationship being affected by money our main idea was that a couple (consisting of our actors for Drake and Alicia Keys) would be arguing over Drake having large amounts of money for seemingly no reason.

• This will be revealed when Drake pays for a bouquet of flowers with a large amount of £20 notes.
• During the video the audience will find that this is a flashback in a series of flashbacks which will be used to show the extent of the couple's argument.
• Ideas for flashbacks include an argument over dinner, the couple going into a car dealership (such as Lamborghini or something with the same price range) but Alicia Keys becomes distressed when she again sees the money Drake is carrying around.
• When cutting back to the present day Drake will be rapping whilst walking through some calming but slightly depressive places, thus creating the image that he is reminiscing.

Songs considered for our Music Video

From the start of this project as a group we decided that we were going to use music that formed a Rap/Sung collaboration, so first of all we considered these songs:

• Magic - B.o.B feat Rivers Cuomo
• Dead and Gone - T.I feat Justin Timberlake
• Cross My Heart - Skepta feat Preeya Kalidas
• Fireworks - Drake feat Alicia Keys
• Love the Way You Lie - Eminem feat Rihanna
• Airplanes - B.o.B feat Hayley Williams

After this selection had been made, we decided that a few of these songs were either too popular (meaning our video may not have been respected as much if we chose to do it), or did not fit our final idea - we wanted a male rapper and a female singer. This left us with:

• Fireworks - Drake feat Alicia Keys

This song also gave us some good ideas with a prominent theme throughout - fireworks representing a difficult relationship.
