Video ideas

Along with thinking about the true meaning of the lyrics, we looked at other music videos to find effects, themes and features that we liked and thought could look good in the music video to our song.

When putting all ideas together, and talking about it as a group, we decided to go for the following effect:
We liked the idea of the video showing not only the male band singing the song, but also concentrating on one girl who is living in to very different worlds. We like the idea of shooting part of the video in a 'white room' scene, showing the breakdown stage, which in our situation would also be a kind of rehab stage. The other part of the video would be in very much a party scene, with the band playing, lots of people partying, bright colours etc. We thought this would show the pre-breakdown stage, as told in the lyrics.

We like this idea as we think the contrast within this video would work really well, and show the desired effect. We also think it would show the narrative well and highlight a deeper meaning within the lyrics. Along with this, we are hoping that our effect will make out music video appealing and entertaining for our audeince, as although we have got our music video ideas from other music videos, we have not yet seen one with this effect and contrast. We also looked into using effects within the filming and editing of the video, such as a 'speed up' effect, to show the characters state of mind and body, but also again highlighting the deeper meaning of the lyrics.
