JC: Concept development ideas

As I mentioned to the group in class, I have had another idea to add to our current concept.

Whilst I have maintained the narrative base for our video, my proposal is that whilst the song is about the girl, instead of seeing her in various shots throughout the video we instead have her in just one shot. I would keep the idea of a funeral scene occuring at the lyrics "I think it's time that we were going now", and that after this the main character walks home, opening the door to see himself and the girl arguing/together in some way, and then walking away shaking his head at the end of the song.

Whilst this would fit in with our current idea, having visited Brighton with the shots we have collated, we are now also considering switching to a performance-based video in the city, as we were particularly pleased with the results of our shoot yesterday.
This idea is similar to that used in Radiohead's Fake Plastic Trees, with the lead singer (Thom Yorke) looking back to a baby, before he walks away.
