The history of the genre.

-
The genre of that our music video has to fit into is protest. This means that it has to be a song that has a message to do with protesting against something or someone. The history of the genre protest –  Protest music has been around for centuries when it became so popular due to people being able to express there feelings with a catchy song or in a way that would get people of higher authority attention. Protest songs are usually written as part of a movement for political or cultural reasons but this can vary. The broadness of the genre gives song writers political freedom which is a way to get there message or point into peoples heads. Songs can change from being quiet and haunting to someone screaming down a microphone about death but these are all accepted as protest songs.  The first American protest songs were created due to war and slavery to create awareness for the huge issues that many people were not aware about at the time.

Song choice

  I have chosen the song Hung Up by Madonna because it is such an iconic song that has been adopted by the gay community. In this song Madonna is waiting for a guy to call her as the phrase ‘time goes by so slowly’ shows that she has been waiting for a long time or could mean that it actually hasn’t been that long. The music is based off of the song ‘Gimme! Gimme! Gimmie!’ by Abba. Hung Up has been one of Maddona most successful songs with a 8.7 million copies being sold world wide.

Statement of intent.

 STATEMENT OF INTENT -  I have chosen the song Hung Up by Madonna it has been adopted by the gay rights community and therefore can be used as a protest song. Madonna is also with the record company Warner Bros.   My ideas haven’t really developed into how I can create my music video to show protest. One of my ideas is to follow a teenage girl around the age of 17-18 in her daily routine but she has a problem with metal health and drug addictions. As she goes through her day she starts seeing things and everything slows down. - ‘Time goes by so slowly’  The words ‘ I don’t know what to do’ is a symbol that she needs help, the song is quite hectic and so this would represent how she feels everyday like things are going so slowly. This will fit into the genre because it is a protest making people aware of mental health in teens. By the end of the video the girl will come to the realisation that she needs help but it will finish with a close up of her mouth saying ...
