As I described in the previous post, our idea is extremely gory. Though an interesting concept I feel we will find the video difficult to execute effectively, seeing as we are limited to a cast of 16-19 year olds at our collage. There are some older looking students but none of them have the acting capability that is needed to make the video visceral and believable. They would have to act having their arm ripped off - which would be difficult. Also it would be extremely difficult for us to make the blood look real, and look good when painted on the walls, we would need to have a blank white set which in my opinion is quite boring. We were having doubts about our idea as a group so we went and talked to Luke and Matt to try and gan another perspective on the idea, to try and talk through the good and bad elements of the video so that we could build a stronger idea.
We decided that we liked the following points:
- The song itself, it is different and empowering.
- The stylistic decision to give the footage a grainy quality and a greeny colour hue.
- The aggressive dancing
After discussing these elements of the music video we talked about the narrative, which I explained in the previous post. Through group discussion we realised that there was no reason for the gas masks in the video, no relevance. So we started thinking about scenarios where a gas mask could be relevant so that we could use it as a stylistic costume choice. We thought of one narrative which revolves around a gas mask - a scenario where there are a group of people in a room and only one gas mask, they could all be fighting over a gas mask, that's where the blood and gore could come in.
- Change of idea
- Talk with luke
- how we could make the narrative more interesting
- one gas mask, people fighting over it
- making the performance element more dynamic
- thinking about making the drums more interesting, drum setups everywhere
