Group Meeting 1

Agenda: To finalise the idea for our music video, alter any parts that are impractical and decide on the final cast, costumes, locations and props ready for us to pitch our idea.

Final Idea
The final idea for our music video is very similar to our initial idea. However, some of the features have been slightly edited to make them more practical. The performance aspect of the video has mostly stayed the same, with the idea of the band playing in a dark room with spotlights to show the isolation and to reinforce the idea of her confessing and being locked up. Our idea for the ending has now been changed, as instead of showing the singer alone in the darkness, we will now show the singer blowing out the candles in the dark room, causing a blackout. We felt this ending was much more ambiguous and would therefore work better.
The narrative has also mostly stayed the same, although now in consideration of time and practicalities the flashback during the middle bridge will be done in a 'Sin City' style, with the shots being in black and white but with some colours showing through. Instead of a fairground we are thinking of maybe just using a park as it would be easier to access and film in.
We are still hoping to do the 'drawn animation' idea, which will mean we won't need an actual location as we can draw that into the background whilst editing.
