G7: Concept Development - 21/11/12

• After coming up with the chess board idea for our digi-pack and adverts, we decided to reference this idea in our music video. We have decided that our music video will include shots showing a chess board, such as shots of the male character smashing the board in frustration to emphasise the growing tension between the couple as their arugement escalates.
• This could be similar to a scene in the music video of Mr. Brightside by The Killers (Muller, 2003) where the two male rivals (one of which is the lead singer) are shown playing chess before the lead singer throws the board of the table in anger after loosing. As the song is about a woman being unfaithful in a relationship, this scene reinforces the rivalry between the two characters in the same way ours will emphasise the tensions growing between the couple.
• This is the video for Mr. Brightside. The scene is shown from 2:57 - 3:12.

• In the lessons, we have finished getting rid of all unusable footage from our performance. This picture shows how we have faded out any footage we don't want to use in our music video due to too much camera movement or badly framed shots.

• We will begin to edit the performance and narrative and continue to shoot the remainder of our narrative footage. This picture shows some of the shots taken in the performance and on one of our narrative shoots in Premiere. We are going to look at our storyboard and animatic when editing as we felt that this gave us a good idea of how much performance and narrative our video should include.
