We have many initial ideas to go into the production phase of our video. Our main idea is to shoot the entire video with a black and white effect, to reflect the dark mood and tone of the song. We have chosen to incorporate the idea of the flashback to show the history of our individual and why he is so troubled, showing things like splitting up with his girlfriend over drug abuse, leaving home and getting into trouble with the police. These flashbacks will be shown in a darker tone of black and white, as they will be showing dark moments from his past. We plan to shoot the video in the middle of the night before sunrise, showing our character leaving a police station after spending most of the night in custody. He then proceeds to put his headphones in, as the song starts and the video begins.
Our character will need to be wearing old tattered clothing, look tired and unclean and appear to be in distress. As the song progresses we plan to show the flashbacks showing the dark past of the character before cultimating in the realisation of his drug addiction with a twist at the end. We plan to use a handheld camera to reflect our characters disorinetation and confusion. At this stage of the planning process, we feel have collected a number of ideas which will hopefully be put towards making our idea for the video become a reality.
Good, clear explanation.
