Developed/Alternative Ideas

We have chosen this song as we feel that we can input alot of different abstract ideas into the music video. It is 2 minutes and 19 seconds of upbeat, cheerful, relaxing music. The video will be about a homeless person changing into a successfull, well paid buisnessman. We have also decided to include alot of costumes in the music video, to compare the homeless person and the man in the buisness suit. After listening to the song a few times it is easily seen that it isnt a 'normal' song so we ave decided to include ilusion images, and special effects in the editing for example. We have chose this as we wanted to make the music video abstract from others. Not as many different filming locations as we will be using alot of the green screen, as looking at the lyrics and listening to the song itself it is singing about mountains etc which would be remarkably difficult to film in cambridge so as using the green screen we will be able to use locations images taken off the internet.

We have decided after reviewing one of the verses, that as he is emphasising on the last words of each of the lines, we are going to be using Anamatic words either coming accross the screen, falling from the top of the frame or coming out of the singers mouth. To do this we are either going to be using i-stop motion or Photoshop editing it frame by frame. We got this idea from the Suede video 'The Drowners' where they use visual representation of the lyrics by writing them on the actors back.
