Introduction

Hello, my name is James Longley and for my music video I have decided on creating a video for the song ‘Supernova’ by Mr. Hudson and Kanye West.

I chose this song as it is a collaboration between two fairly different artists similar to the story in, which I created for my music magazine in my coursework for AS. In my article my fictional acoustic rock musician, James Longley had written and recorded a song with hip-hop artist Dan-I-Am, which is very similar to how this song, ‘Supernova’ was written and performed so now I can work on building on my article from AS with making a music video for the song.

The original song of supernova fits perfectly into my storyline for my musician. Mr hudsons breakthrough mainstream song was this collaboration with his friend and hip-hop star Kanye West. My musicians breakthrough mainstream song is a collaboration with fictional hip-hop star and friend Dan.I.Am. So this proved to me to be the perfect song to choose to make a video for. This also gave me the idea to keep my video very similar to the original. I chose to do this as the story of the production and release of this song is so similar to my own that I wanted to keep it even more similar by keeping the video nearly the same too.
