During the process of researching and progressing in the development and planning for our music video, I came across the music video for "Bound 2" by Kanyes West. Similar to my previous research into Miley Cyrus' video "Wrecking Ball" this video had attracted a lot of controversial attention in the media. Celebrities " Seth Rogan" and "James Franco" re-created the video in a mocking yet humourous nature due to the attention the Rapper and his Fiancee Kim Kardashian had attracted. The video below is evidence of this hitting American tabloids.
Something that caught my attention was an article by the Gurdian claiming the motorbike from the original video was put on sale on ebay and then taken down.The concept of the prob being sold for £4,500 shows how the success of a music video to promote an artist can also be used to make money in many more ways that what meets the eye. I am now motivated to make sure the potential success for mine and Jakes video leaves us with the ability to create attention in all sectors rather than just the Music industry. Although the idea of creating an all round success has been shown, I must be aware and acknowledge the negative impact the video has had in the media. The reason behind the Bike sale being taken down from ebay was due to the huge controvesy surrounding the video. Linking to my Music progression post and my previous study of wrecking Ball, this has further supported my decision in not including any sexual behaviour or indecent exposure in our video.
