Script:
Today I will be
pitching our idea for our new music video. Last week we decided to change the
track, due to finding that our track “Follow You”, was to slow to edit too.
Back when we chose the song, we thought that we had a secure idea and that it
would be fast to edit, however we kept having trouble editing to the beat,
which also resulted in us not having a full cut before Christmas.
Because we have
already done so much work on website, merchandise and setting up social media
accounts for Bring Me The Horizon, we quickly concluded that we should only
change the track and not the artist. Hence, we have chosen a track called
“Throne”, which is also from BMTH “That’s The Spirit” album.
During our last
performance shoot, we experienced some issues, because we had the camera in
some shots and then we also didn’t have enough shot variety. Despite the fact
that we thought it was enough, it quickly changed once trying to edit it
together. Therefore, we will focus on getting as much footage as we possibly
can this time. Furthermore, one of the band members lived really far away and
this was one of the reasons that he said that he did not wish to be part of the
new performance shoot for the new music video. He will most likely be replaced
by one of our other classmates, however if this isn’t possible, we will only
have 4 band members.
So, for the
performance shoot in the new music video, we intend to film in other places. We
didn’t like the place that we had in the skate park, since we thought that the
colours were to bright. Also, another classmate used this location for her
music video and we found that the location was much more fitting for her music
video and track than for ours.
One of the
locations will be set in the woods. This has been inspired by the band twenty-one
pilots and their music video for their song “Ride”. We thought this would be
more fitting for the location since it is more ominous than the colourful skate
park, and also matches up better with the lyrics for our new track.
We will be using
most of the same band members as we did last time, Oli on keyboard, Kristian on
bass or lead guitar, Wayne as the singer, Euan or Alex from the auditions as
the drummer and then we haven’t decided for the lead guitar yet. However, after
last time we got feedback on their costumes and it was concluded that we need
to change the drummer’s look. We will try and find him a leather jacket and
give him more tattoos if we use Euan. However, we have been thinking about
using Alex, because he has a beard and dark hair and also look older and more
suitable for the rock genre. For the
keyboarder, we thought that his style was too simple and so we might also give
him more tattoos, style his hair differently and give him another T-Shirt to
wear.
The narrative
for our new music video has also changed. This time we will have the couple
fight in the music video and split up after having shown a sequence of the
couple being happy. This is because in our last audience feedback we were told
that it was a little bit complicated to understand the story if you had not
been told it before watching the music video. Therefore, we intend to make the linear
narrative more clear. In terms of cast we will use our lead singer Wayne as the
male protagonist and Emilie from our school that we also used in our last music
video as our female protagonist.
For our first
music video we had the idea of a bathtub scene, based on the music video from
the band Panic at the Disco for their song “This is Gospel”. We thought it was
a nice effect to film under water and this time our track has lyrics that would
link with shooting under water.
When the lead
singer sings: “I was an ocean, lost in the open”, we intend to film in a pool, where he
falls into the pool backwards or we film underwater as he falls in. Also, we
will have a running sequence of our male protagonist, which is inspired by the
music video for the song Hunger of the Pine by Alt-J. With this running sequence
we want to connote the singer being confused about his relationship and running
to think about it and run away from his problems.
