Group: Track choice: "Keep on your dress" - Pigeon Detectives
Yesterday (6/9/11) we as a group decided to use this track for our music video. We will be researching the bands meta-narrative, star-brand and also its target audience.
Our initial concept for "Keep on your dress":
Narrative based,
Interspersing with performance shots,
Flashes of white light when the symbol is hit and slowly come into focus of a scene involving a young couple,
Location shots during the riff,
Colour desaturation,
House argument between couple throwing objects smashing glass,
Empty bottles on the streets,
"I think you may have made a mistake" "Eyes appear to be closed but I know that you're still awake" - Funeral scene
"Crying" - crying at funeral,
Walking back to house,
"It's ok" - smashing glass (juxtaposition of lyrics and visuals)
Performance based chorus,
Walking through streets - signs of alcohol abuse present,
Guitar solo, cutting between narrative and performance,
"Leaving me behind" "Time we're going now" - shaking hands back to solo
Going back to apartment sees wreck of earlier argument, fades out.

Also in addition to the interspersing shots with the performance it should be set in the same location possibly, to the actual narrative that is unfolding as in other music videos that have this it seems to make it easier to follow the narrative.
ReplyDeleteAt this point in time, we've only taken the lyrics at face value, and the ideas that Cameron has posted are reflective of this. Whilst these are only initial concept ideas, we have all agreed on the song. We also feel that the fact that we are shooting in winter will not be too much of a hinderance for us, as the weather at the time is likely to be in keeping with the mood/tone of the track.
