If you could direct a music video off ARTPOP...

[Bio 23,538]

Going from the "criminals of thought" line in Sexxx Dreams I'd have a 1984 inspired music video. With her and a man living a forbidden romance. The spoken word lines in the song would be her as Big Brother. They get discovered and tortured just like in the book.

A monologue would also be really cool at the beginning, talking about fame, her relationship with her fans, etc. 

I love this idea! Expanding upon Dope's background

Spoiler

She wanted to talk honestly about that period of her life adding she used to smoke 15-20 joints a day to recover from the pain after the operation which made her paranoid and even feel worse comparing to the moment she first started consuming it. She felt like people did not want to talk to her because of that and it made her feel less articulate, not really 'there'. She concluded saying that Dope is a "I'm sorry" to all the people in her life she really cares about, her fans, boyfriend and family.

And something like this:

I was just numbing, numbing, numbing myself then sleeping it off, then getting on stage, killing it in pain, then getting off and smoking, smoking, smoking, not knowing what pain was. ****, if I know what hurts the most, you know? I would break the habit and it would sneak back in and I would break it and sneak back in.

Maybe in front of some grey scaled and muted BTWB videos, flashes of hip x-rays, and her smoking in her wheelchair. So many ideas

Exactly what I was thinking! God, I really wish we got a video for Dope, such an important song for her, and the video, without a doubt, would be emotional and heartfelt.

Do What U Want. I would make it a part 3 of the Paparazzi/Telephone. While releases from jail, Gaga gets soon stalked by paparazzi again. We will see her walking through a city, followed by a lot of people, but she doesn't care. This is the beginning of the video. We return there for R. Kelly's part and for the very end of the music video.

I'd add a shot with a lot of flashing lights, set in a dark background with a few, small blue spot lights. Gaga is nude and you she the contours of her body.

I'd also use the idea of the original, never released music video. Gaga rolling in news paper issues. I don't think I would let to her that shot naked. Maybe a nice dress, like at the AMA show (her live performance with R. Kelly).

Also a shot with her in white bad (Bad Romance music video reference), filled with black ink. With standard, recognizable white tiles on the wall in the background.

R.Kelly: he is displayed on televisions (normally for news broadcastings, I think) and on Billboards on Time Square, New York City. While Gaga is walking there. The people (fans + paparazzi (biggest part of the group) + gp) who are following here, who try to get a picture/selfie with her, who try to get a sign of her, are getting more and more angry, because she's ignoring them. We also get to see more and more negative headlines about her (like "Gaga is over", "She is fat!", "She looks like a Swine!" (which is indeed a little 'Swine Easter Egg', yeaaah)).

At the end of the video Gaga is blocked on the road by a red signal of a traffic light. People are getting mad and throw sh*t to her, like tomatoes, toilet paper, etc. When the light becomes green, she walks away: she simply doesn't care.

Aura as a sequal to Paparazzi / Telephone. It would start with a short recap. After that we see the boyfriend from Paparazzi talking to the FBI. And this scene leads to the conclusion that he never died but they set up his death so he could live a secret life away from his crazy girlfriend. Then we see him turn on the news which shows that Gaga's former helper (Beyonce) was found dead in a trunk (on highway 10) and Gaga is missing. 

After this the video cuts to Gaga wanting to hide the knife, with which she killed Beyonce, in her former boyfriend's coffin. We see her opening the coffin and Gaga comes to the shocking conclusion that it's empty. After she discovers his death was a set up we see her shaving off all her hair and taking on a new identity, afraid of the possibility of her former boyfriend wanting to take revenge. 

Then the song starts playing and she walks around very carefully and sleek in a busy New York ish street all covered up and unrecognisable with a burqa while her former boyfriend tries to find her after he saw her on the news and knows that she's not in jail anymore. He's able to track her down and it cuts to a dramatic chasing scene. 

Gaga is seen hijacking a car and speeds off bumping into several cars. When the former boyfriend gets close he gets into an accident and crashes into a tree. Gaga looks in her window and sees it all happening. Then she steps out of the car, looks at him, takes her burqa off and smiles in a fierce way and it cuts to a dancing scene with random people on the street jumping in. Then there's a black screen and it cuts to flashes of a trunk with Beyonce and her former boyfriend sticking out. 

Then it ends with: ''to be continued''

Didn't she promise that some of the little managers would get to direct her video?

I wish that would become true. I really want to become a film maker. But hé, dreams always stay dreams.

Give me Swine!!

 

I'd make a psychedelic, epileptic, kinda childish (bright colors and animated designs) video. There'd be little pigs like the one we can see in the iTunes festival Performance and also men hanging around (just like the dancers from the same performance with their white costumes) and spreading their "paint" (aka s€m€n) everywhere and especially on Gaga. Just like the song (which is a masterpiece btw #BuyARTPOPoniTunes), the video would go more and more extreme with paint and "epileptic visuals" as the act of rape itself is IRL (harassment, touching, forcing, raping, and leaving).

In the end, there'd be nothing left but Gaga maybe drowning in the paints of all colors.

It would definitely be wild and savage, with a big tension to watch for those who know that it depicts rape.

I've always had vivid ideas about a MJH video, where she's walking around in Amsterdam (look is like this):

gets dragged in by devil like drug dealers, then gets hooked on weed, and she performs the chorus in a pub with the iconic chair choreography (in this look):

The rest of the video is her going through Amsterdam, acting supper high, of corse. 

And at the end, she's on a canal tour, sees something shiny in the water (which is just a hallucination from the weed), tries to grab it, falls into the water, and eventually drown as her green hair dye slowly spreads out into the water. 

And then the scene cuts to a new one, of her funeral, where she performs Dope.

Sorry for it being so long. I had to make it super detailed .

Aura (I went too far in )

Spoiler

(Think about the road Gaga is walking down during the Yoü and I video. It's a bright sunny day. Also imagine the video being directed by Robert Rodriguez.) 

0:00 - 0:35

The video would start off on the side of the road with police, ambulances, and fire trucks who are on the scene of a murder caused by Gaga. The detective who is looking for evidence would be following the clues left be Gaga via voice memo app on iPhone (aka put the knife under the hood...). After he finds the knife, he starts to put it in a manila envelope that at first says 'Hollywood' but as the camera pans slightly left with zoom, it actually says something like "Hollywood Crime Office Hollywood, CA"

0:36 - 1:11 (The main outfit: She has on a black niqab, the outfit she wore for the iTunes Festival with these killer black high heel shoes, and some kind of long black sheer cover)

These scenes would be showing Gaga murdering, dragging, and putting the driver in the trunk of the car. After she changes out of the bloody clothes and put on an amazing outfit, she burns the bloody clothes and starts making her way away from the scene. The other scene would be her attached to a spinning circular board in a dark room wearing the white outfit the album launch party singing the "Aura-a-a-a" parts. Right before the first verse starts on the drop, she stops and pulls the black sheer cover to the right side in a fierce type movement.

1:12 - 1:41

These scenes would just mainly be her singing and dancing while wearing Judas inspired type outfits and hair.

1:42 - 2:17

These scenes would still be her singing the chorus and dancing with a back and forth scene of her on the spinning board in the white outfit singing. Right before the second verse, the camera is looking at the sky as she takes off the black sheer cover.

2:18 - 2:48 (I have an idea about editing, but I'm not going into detail about that )

By this point she's walking and dancing on the road singing the song with scene insertions of her in a different outfit but still dancing like during the first verse.

2:49 - 2:54

She's singing in the white outfit like mentioned before but without the hat and mask. The scene that would be mixed in would be her and her dancers dancing the first part of the bridge.

2:55 - 3:02

She is sitting in the tech chair singing while wearing what she exactly wore in the promo pic with the chair. She is also surrounded by her dancer who are dancing.

3:03 - 3:39

She see's the cops coming after her from both directions. She stops and has a disgusted look on her face. She starts to take off her wig to reveal her brunette hair followed by her throwing grenades in both directions.

3:40 - 3:52

As the explosions happen, she takes off running through corn patches to escape.

3:53 - 3:56

It is a zoomed in shot of her head as she says "ARTPOP"

 

 

Mary Jane Holland (I didn't go too far in. I just gave a summary)

Spoiler

The video would have a religious aspect. It would be like the Salem Witch Trials.

Scene setup:

It would be set in a 1700's type town at night. The town's people are planning to capture her.

Video summary:

Gaga is walking on the roof dressed very punk rock with green hair singing the song. Right as the breakdown happens (right before the chorus) she falls off the roof, but only to fly up in the air with wings and lands back on the roof. Right as the chorus ends, she jumps to the ground and she continues to sing. During the second chorus, she is captured by the people and taken to the center of town for execution. As they let her say her final words, she sings the bridge. Since she's a witch, she sets herself free, changes her hair from green to brunette, is dressed like a normal girl of the town. The people are in shock and just let her walk away. Shortly after that happens, she goes back to the punk rock outfit but leaves the brunette hair. As the video ends, the children of the town who are supposed to be in bed are hanging out the window saying/singing "Mary...Jane...Holland" as she walks past them. The very last scene of her is her turning to black smoke and more of the hanging lanterns light-up.

I got a music video idea for ARTPOP the other day! Though it's an idea that doesn't involve Gaga.

Basically the entire video is about a halfling child of an elf and a human. The human is female, and the elf is male. And we keep switching between the forbidden love story (meetings in the night, secret in the day, all that stuff) and the kid as he deals with being a half-elf, half-human. And eventually at the climax we see how the kid stops the human army and elven army from going at each other. e end the video with going inbetween the peace treaty and the main character as a baby.

It would be VENUS and it would be GREAT
