Music Video Influence - Nickelback's Rockstar

As stated in a previous post, our song's meaning revolves around being forced to fit into society and being controlled somewhat like a 'doll' or just 'inhuman'. Because of this, we decided that we should incorporate a range of different people in society (different races, ethnicities, genders, classes and sexualities) and film them singing the song 'Hold Me Down' so that we can incorporate the footage into our video. 

Our influence comes from the music video of Rockstar by Nickelback. The music video is below:

 

 This video incorporates all different types of people to give the message that everyone wants to be a rockstar, which is said constantly throughout the song in the lyrics.

By doing this we will be widening the song's meaning from just being about an individual to about everyone in the world wanting to be able to do their own thing and look their own way without judgement. This then changes our artist from being a typical teenager who is expected to want to have a 'Star Profile' to one that wants to use their music for a wider purpose and to positively effect people globally.
