The Actual Music Video

This is the artist Drake's real music video to the song Hold on we're going home and it is about his loved one being kidnapped and him trying to rescue her. It has that typical 'Damsel in distress' like in any children's story its sort of a fairy tale that every female hope for which is why it has become stereotypical. The video is a very conventional video and Drake himself has said that its the kind of song that he would hope people would play at there wedding or it could be thought of as a war song.

We took this point and have decided to construct a new music video with a war narrative but instead of the typical convention of the the male taking the role of the war hero we would place the female in his shoes. We then thought of a family so that both the wife and husband could swap roles completing and involving a small child would bring some warmth to the video. Towards the end we will have a twist and return the music video to an original conventional stereotypical music video and swap roles.
