Literal Music Videos

A literal music video, also called a literal video version, is a parody of an official music video clip in which the lyrics have been replaced with lyrics that describe the visuals in the video. Although they are amateur and made as a joke, it makes modern music video makers aware of how obvious some of the shots they are using are. Nowadays a music video isn’t just an extension of advertising for the artist and song; they can be pieces of artwork made famous for the messages sent in the video and not the music. Here is a few examples of literal videos made by people on YouTube:

Bonnie Tyler's Total Eclipse of the Heart:


James Blunt's Your Beautiful:


As the song we have chosen has only three verses and therefore not many words in the song for the length it is were going to be careful in the types of shots and things we use so there not so obvious it distracts from the performance. Instead weve planned certain shots at certain places in the song where they fit, for example the beginning of the song there is long electric intro, and to fit this were going to include a sped up handheld entrance into a church and into a cellar.
