3rd Music Video Concept - Double Bubble Trouble


My final idea for my A2 music video involves the song Double Bubble Trouble by M.I.A. 

Music Video Concept: A 'king' figure who runs a young adolescent gang in London has a stand off with another leader of the rival gang. One gang wears red, the other wears blue. They then pull out weapons, but they aren't real but in fact Nerf guns. There is then a mass fight between the two gangs, after the leaders order their men to shoot at each other. 

This is a sort of look that I want the people to have:


How does the idea fit the lyrics and the song?

The song is all about being 'in trouble' as they're involved in a gangster lifestyle, and about having a reputation. However, I decided to put a more comical twist to it, as the official music video displays a great image of a true gangster lifestyle, so I wanted to oppose it. The gangster clothing is to convince the audience that it is real, then the inclusion of NERF guns is a twist which the audience will not expect to see. 

Who is M.I.A?

 M.I.A is a Sri Lankan female rapper, but is also a songwriter, artist and director. She is notorious for her rebellious attitude but also her unique soundtracks which have proven to be a success. Her image is one of rebelliousness and youth culture, and she focuses her lyrics on younger people doing what they want. Her style is very much focused Sri Lankan art styles, and she enjoys to reflect these in her music videos.
