Interview 1 - Amina Diwa Saadat
1. What do you think a music video should be based on and why?
I believe a music video should be based on sending a message to the community, something about different beliefs and religions. No matter where you come from or what you believe you are still counted as someone. It will bring people together and maybe make people think twice about judging people or racism maybe, even discrimination. This is because there is so much conflict going on the world, especially within Britain and everyone listens to music so I believe that if music with a message like this will really make people think.
2. What kinds of music are you interested the most and often listen to and why?
I don’t really have a favourite but I do love listening to Outlandish and The Script, they create amazing music with real meanings and nothing like checking girls out in a club. Music like that has real meanings about live and taking the right step. It makes people really listen to the lyrics rather than the tune itself.
3. What do you normally look for when watching a music video based on a love story?
I normally look for a great looking couple who really love each other for who they are and not just for material things or looks. If the couple is good looking then most people would want to watch it. So it should be based on a true love story and makes the audience emotionally attached to the song or couple.
4. What do you think is a great theme for a general music video?
Like I mentioned earlier I think a video with a massage to help the world become a better place would be a great theme. Scene of wars and devastation going on around the world and people injured would really give a great message and will definitely attract audiences.
5. What kinds of setting/s do you think would be good to use for a music video based on a love story?
For a love story I think the beach would be the perfect setting for a music video. It is the kind of place where people meet each other and enjoy themselves. Also it has a great vibe and everyone is happy so it will be perfect to hold a love song. Also the city would be another great setting for a love song, especially somewhere like New York because it has a modern up to date atmosphere and everyone gets on with tier own lives. So it makes it seem less like a fairy tale and more like reality that people have their own lives apart from love and relationships but that is the main aspect in their life.
6. What time of the day do you think is perfect for filming a music video, especially a love story?
During the night because it is the time where everyone gets together. During the day everyone is busy with college, university or work but at night it’s the time to relax and just enjoy them. If it’s set in the city then the lights would look amazing in the dark sky, if it is set on a beach then it should be at a sun-set. Sun-sets are really romantic with its different shades of yellows and red filling the sky, it brings the couple closer.
