"My group (name them) were randomly given a fairy tale or nursery rhyme, and a question. We can use these as stimulus to create a music video. The fairy tale/nursery rhyme we were given was This Little Piggy and the question we were given was 'how long is a piece of string' " -Our initial idea is to create a montage of short aesthetically pleasing shots.

Patrick Watson - Lighthouse Other music videos: Is there a common theme to his videos? The first music video I embedded of the song 'Broken' shows lights a car passes driving at night. Occasionally, faces of other people including the artist appear as an overlay over the shots of the lights.

Our final storyline idea for our music video involves three children exploring their surroundings in order to escape the reality of their everyday life. Abused by their father, they find happiness in the nature and places around them. At the end of our music video it will become clear that the little boy who is one of the three children is the artist performing the song telling the story of his upbringing through his song.
