Visuals: Alyssa Morley

Song: Spaghetti by Martin Schmidt, GEMA (www.freemusicplay.com)

There are several major themes I would like to convey in this music video. The first will be a sense of mystery which will be indicated with visuals simulating a periodic horse gallop. This will occur at the time with the increase tempo.

The second theme is the juxtaposition between suaveness and contained danger. Images of abstract steps and waves will appear interchangeably according to the rhythm of the music. The danger aspect will be indicated with geometric shapes of black and red. The suaveness will be indicated through an abstract version of the dance scene in the film Pulp Fiction. The figure will be composed on curvilinear lines that sway back and forth at the point of the hips.

Each different instrument will be simulated with different colors or shapes to add variety. Also there is a point in the song where there is a vibrato which is when the musician vibrates the strings by slightly altering the pitch higher and lower. I plan on displaying this part with dots in a circular formation.

John Travolta speaks about foot rubs at one point during the film. He says “Sensuous thing going on but you don’t talk about it.” I want to display this sensuous undertone in the song. I plan on using a curvy orange circular form.

My color choice will be juxtaposition on black and white as well as blown out colors. The black and white is to not only evoke a sense of calmness but also to reinforce the Pulp Fiction theme. The blown out colors will be used to add intensity. Also when the music is quiet, the visuals will appear to be far away form the viewer and when the music is loud it will appear close.

I will still be using circular forms in my visuals however my focus will not be on cycles in nature. I will be representing that subtlety yet the video will concentrate on portraying the before mentioned emotions.
