The song i would like to base my music video on is 'Dark Paradise- Lana Del Rey' released on her born to die album in 2013. There is currently no music video to this song.
Who is Lana Del Rey?
'Del Rey's music has been noted for its cinematic sound and its references to various aspects of pop culture, particularly that of the 1950s and 1960sAmericana. The singer has described herself as a "self-styled gangsta Nancy Sinatra." Before signing to a major record label, Del Rey provided sole production of her music videos. Musically, she draws influence from what she deems to be the masters of each genre, including Elvis Presley, Amy Winehouse, Janis Joplin, Nirvana, Eminem, Bruce Springsteen, and Britney Spears, as well as from poetry and film noir.'http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lana_Del_Rey
I wanted to do a Lana Del Rey song because a lot of her songs tell a story about love and breakups. They are also quite slow videos so it wouldn't require a lot of fast pace editing. Before i chose to do the one above I did some research on the ones i possibly would want to do. Here they are:
Born to die
Young and beautiful
Burning Desire

'She has been described as a "self-styled gangsta Nancy Sinatra" and "Lolita lost in thehood" and her music has been noted for its cinematic sound and its references to various aspects of pop culture, particularly that of 1950s and '60sAmericana. Rolling Stone noted that Del Rey enjoys playing the role of lounge singer. Del Rey has also been called a torch singer of the internet era and the anti-Gaga. Born Lizzy Grant, Del Rey has attributed her work to various stage names including Lana Rey Del Mar,Sparkle Jump Rope Queen, and May Jailer. Settling on Lana Del Rey, the singer claims she selected the name because it was beautiful. First mention of the name Lana Del Rey came from her Spanish-speaking Cuban friends. Following in the shadow of artists like Prince and David Bowie, Del Rey chose her musical identity because it: "reminded [her] of the glamour of the seaside. It sounded gorgeous coming off the tip of the tongue."
Del Rey has stylized her musical sound as "Hollywood sadcore." Time said the solid core of her sound was "movie music", with a fairy-dusting ofharp and an ominous timpani, laid out over-top a hip hop vocal cadence. Her vocal style has been likened to rap. Of Born to Die, indie music journal Drowned in Sound wrote, "She likes that whole hip hop thing though, has this whole swagger thing going that not many girls like her got," adding that it sounded like apoppier Bond soundtrack. In "National Anthem", "Off to the Races," and "Diet Mountain Dew", Del Rey employs this alternative rapping technique. Under the stage name Lizzy Grant, she called her music "Hawaiian glam metal", while the work of her May Jailer project was acoustic. Attributed to many genres, Del Rey's sound has been primarily linked to indie pop and baroque pop, sub-genres of alternative rock. Despite this, she has experimented with hip hop and trip hop genres.
Regarding wardrobe, Del Rey has appeared numerous times in PR photoshoots and music videos adorned in gauzy dresses and floral headdresses; she has been recognized as being less flashy than other mainstream female pop singers. Lyrically, "Born to Die" was recognized as sad. On the subject, Del Rey said: "I'm not sad, I’m happy. I feel like I’m happy because I’m at peace with the way that things are... I did have a darker filter on sometimes, but that slowly lifted through doing a lot of different things. And finding true love is something that really did inspire me, lyrically. Because I felt so much the same for so much of my life and then when you find someone exciting, you don’t know that you could actually feel differently than you did before. I was inspired. Del Rey writes her own lyrics, drawing on various experiences she had while living in New York City, and she has said that her lyrics, "sound like stories"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lana_Del_Rey
