New Song (Murderers)


This new song by John Frusciante does not have any lyrics in it. This is a feature of the song that I really admire and is why I have chosen to make this my music video, I like the fact it breaks conventions of songs, and will therefore allow me to be more creative with my video- where I could break conventions of music videos.

A little bit about John Frusciante:
He was part of the Red Hot Chili Peppers as their former guitarist from 1988 until 1992 and again from 1998 until 2009.He joined Red Hot Chili Peppers at the age of eighteen, first appearing on the band's 1989 album, Mothers Milk. The group's follow-up album, Blood Sugar Sex Magik (1991), was a breakthrough success. Frusciante became overwhelmed by the band's new popularity and quit in 1992.
'Murderers' is from the album 'To Record Only Water for 10 Days' which was released in 2001.

Applying Theory to my music video...  In Todorov's theory in suggests that a media text (specifically music videos) can either be abstract, narrative or performance. Using this theory I have decided to make my music video 'abstract'. I think this is a suitable way to approach my music video given my chosen song as it does not have any lyrics, I see this as a positive aspect because it allows for my own interpretation of the song and how I can make it in to a successful music video that my target audience will enjoy watching.
