Video Ideas

Today in the lesson we discussed possible ideas for our music video. We decided that we didn't want a generic video of the band simply standing in front of the camera playing their song to the audience. We mutually agreed that something along the lines of a race or a pursuit would be 1) Much more entertaining for the audience, and 2) Much more exciting to film, allowing us to be able to use many different techniques and show our ability off as much as we can.

One of the ideas we had, was for maybe the four members of the band to meet in a busy town square area, and for them to run off in different directions, all trying to get to one item before each other member. The video can then cut between all of the members in each of their journeys to the desired item. The members can use all sorts of transport devices such as trains, cars, bikes, quad bikes, skateboards, etc... Once one of the band members gets to the item, they can see that it's not there anymore, and in the distance, a random character has walked off with it. Shortly following this, the rest of the band gradually turn up, and all show their annoyance, for the video then to end.

We feel that the audience will enjoy the idea of this video, it would be much more entertaining to watch, almost comedic in a sense, as it contrast slightly with the genre of the music, similarly to how our band name contrasts with the genre.
