New idea for music video

Over the October half term I was thinking about how to do my music video to the best of my abilities yet still have an interesting theme to it. after much deliberation I decide that instead of have a romantic relationship, to show friends who grew up together but slowly drifted apart taking two different courses in life.

bohemian rhapsody

Bohemian Rhapsody is a 2018 biographical film about the British rock band Queen, focusing on lead singer Freddie Mercury's life leading up to Queen's Live Aid performance at Wembley Stadium in 1985. The film gets its title from the 1975 Queen song of the same name. It is a British-American joint venture produced by 20th Century Fox, New Regency, GK Films, and Queen Films, with Fox serving as distributor.
Directed by Bryan Singer, it is written by Anthony McCarten, produced by Graham King and former Queen manager Jim Beach, and stars Rami Malek as Mercury, with Lucy BoyntonGwilym LeeBen HardyJoseph MazzelloAidan GillenTom HollanderAllen Leechand Mike Myers in supporting roles. Queen members Brian May and Roger Taylor served as creative and musical consultants on the film.

I loved bohemian rhapsody because I believe that it has a great depiction of mercury's legacy. As an 18 year old I didn't know much about how Queen became so popular and this film helped me learn how to understand this.

The term public service broadcasting is broadcasting purely for the benefit of the public, this doesn’t not include commercial advertising, but information to educate and inform the public on current matters around the world, and also to entertain them with current / older songs and with chat shows including there favorite celebrities.

With over 250 radio stations just within the UK under public service broadcasting (PSB), this means that each station has a competitive market, in which they need to fight of there listeners who will loyally tune in every day, for example, The BBC radio 1 breakfast show racks in about 80,000 listeners every morning, resulting in about 9.43 million listeners every week. With radio shows playing similar/ the same songs, this means that if a listener decides to switch radio stations to listen to better songs or prefers the host more on another station, they can do so without an issue.

Radio stations do not earn any profit for there day-to-day show, meaning the way they earn this income is from the advertisements where they promote businesses, for example go compare or compare the market. Com. this means that the business will pay the station a certain amount to play there ad a certain amount of times. The issue with this is that if the ads take up to much time, the listener will get bored and therefore move onto another station, even if they enjoyed the music and the host (content) they were listening to
