Development of idea and song

This video shows the track that we have chosen to use for our music video. It is a live version of the song and this helped us create our idea. The song itself was the main influence but i found the lights and band name to be quite influential on the image i have for lighting and the way we film it. Obviously this is all to come but it is benefitial for us to think about it early on so we can really develop the idea. The next stage after getting our intial idea was to really develop the video. In the few meetings that followed choosing our song we came up with ideas for setting and situations. We aim to focus upon one main character (male) who is at a party, set in either a urban house/flat or somewhere more bar/club like. the reasons for this are too set up the meeting of a person. It is ambiguous however who this other person is. The situation is set up in this party like situation to help us hide the identity of the person who our character desires, there is suggestion to them sleeping together, made through walking upstairs and dropping of clothes. This act leads the protaganist to doubt his actions and regret what happened, this is the basis for our video, however the narrative will not be straightforward and will be mixed and rearranged to emphasise the erratic mind of the character. We will use the electronic style of the song to influence the style of camera work and the "aa ee oh oh aa ee" sections of the song will be amplified through such stylistic features such as our editing. Also we will be using the bridge to our advantage, the convenient pause then section following (2:56) could possibly be used as an effective way of presenting a montage of the images, then culminating in our final scene of unveiling the mystery "lover". I think this will work really well and give it the finished feel, closing the narrative.
