Alex Clare vs. Marcus Green


The comparison 


Alex Clare 


Marcus Green 

The song that my group has chosen is called “Too close” by Alex Clare. This song already like most songs has an original video that complemented the singing of Alex Clare, clearly because this song already had a video, we had to come up with something different, something better than the original music video itself. Alex Clare is a very sophisticated artist in the music industry due to the various styles of smart attire that he employs when performing on stage and on set for his music video. The name of our made up artist is called “Marcus Green” , we wanted to make a similarity in terms of taste and swagger, as a result we wanted Marcus green to only be seen in clothing that seems smart and sophisticated to some extent ( chinos and a cardigan) this new artist will capture the audience attention because of his unique hair style( Jerry curled Mohawk) because our target audience is quite young we tend to associate the young as having a variety of looks in terms of hair style and clothing.


 Alex Clare begins his music video sitting down on a chair in some derelict apartment with a range of close- ups zooming in onto different part of his face, our music video will start off with the artist walking on a dark street (so it’s at night time) with the camera showing his back then following his feet (close-up/ pan) whilst walking along the street before the first verse hits. Even the ending of our music video shows the artist opening a door and leaving his house with a suitcase. Alex Clare’s ending shows him as the artist singing “so ill be on my way” whilst the camera pans away from him eventually leading to an establishing shot. The main difference of both videos is that our main base track is set in a dark street whilst the original is set in a room filled with unwanted items and broken cupboards.
