LB: Initial Ideas

(1) Bloc Party: Truth

Music Video Idea:
I think the songs about a break up when a or some truths revealed, hence, the video would start off with a slow motion shot of a glass of water being thrown across a room, then smashing across the floor, the mise-en-scene would include a white wall background with a sombre picture  frame. Throughout the film, a blue filter would be used for all present day shots. After the first few frames, we then seeing a couple arguing, with flash backs to times for example in the first 3 months of their relationship using a sepia filter for added effect. Non-verbal language could be used to link the past to the present such as when one of the couple throws an arm out to the side, suggesting they are directing the others attention to a moment in their past, which is then seen by the audience. Additionally,every so often, images of the glass still shattering would be used to emphasise the continuous argument. Also,shots of the band would be included in a set deign room, the same background scene in the couples argument but it is clear that this is a set. Eventually the glass/water stops moving when they decide to got there separate ways at which point the song finishes.

(2) Friendly Fires: Blue Cassette 

Music Video Idea:
For this track, the way in which I envisage the video to portray the song is by visualising a group of friends, going on a road trip or journey cross country. As well as this, there would be shots of them all on the 'classic' sofa, as well as things like them gathering in a garden or park  for a barbeque or something similar. the whole videos would be centered around the group just having fun.  Additionally, the video would be styled and set to look like it was filmed in the 90's.




(3) The Wombats: Girls/Fast Cars

Music Video Idea:
When listening to this track, the first idea that comes to mind, is that this video would include a lot of band performance on a set. As well as this, the video would optimise a track by  having the lead singer walking down a road or path, at the same pace as the camera moves along in front of him. Whilst also focusing on both 'Girls' and 'Cars'
