RB: Initial Ideas

Tethered - Elliot Minor (2009)

The band performing the song either in a dark  room – dark but low lighting coming through window – cuts between the singer on his own and the whole band

Or perfoming at night/evening outside in field/rural area







Uses close ups of band members and instruments



The narrative shows a man (or the singer in the band) following his ex-girlfriend and her boyfriend. Shots of him looking at pictures and handi-cam style shots of their past together (being together, breaking up). Locations could include a park or town/café area.




I Can't Stay - The Killers (2008)


 
The performance cuts between a small stage or performance area and an outdoors car park or large empty area where the whole band would be performing the song.



Mid – long shots would be used showing the whole band as well and the individual members and close ups on their instruments.

Narrative shows couple arguing in rural location at sunset – long shots showing their silhouettes.





Also shows past argument between the couple with one of them leaving the other/moving out and then them getting back together/giving each other another chance.








Exploitation - The Silent Comedy

Performance based video - mainly made up of shots of the band performing the song in an empty room or rehearsal studio.


Singer performing song throughout narrative with shots of him throughout the day. For example:

Mirror shots whilst getting ready at home



Walking through a town area

In cafe with friends
