Brainstorming Ideas

Idea 1:

Starting from the bottom and finishing at the top (bedroom to stage):

The band starting of at the bottom eg. a bedroom practicing and rehearsing. 

Throughout the video gradually getting to higher or closer to on stage (the top)

Eg. Next stage in the studio, recording and rehearsing.

Finally making their way to the stage which is considered the top.

Showing how the band started from a bedroom to now performing on stages.

closure to the song could be the band on stage performing the song.

The chosen song (Let Us Drown) will be played over the footage and the band will be singing and performing the song at each stage as they progress to being on stage. 

shots including: long shots of the band playing at each stage, close-ups on the band members and them performing and their instruments being played. Pictures taken of the band to then be sped up to produce stuttered 180 degree view of the band. Merge back into video footage. Low angles and high angles of the band and each member. Try to include slow motion? 

Idea 2: 

Process of walking onto stage:

Process and footage of each stage and moment of the band getting ready to go onto stage to perform. 

Including: packing and unpacking equipment, the journey to the show/stage eg. in the van and scenery, laughs and funny moments, Sped-up pictures, walking to the backstage dressing room, walking to the stage, setting up and sound check and finally performing to the crowd on stage. 

The chosen song (let us drown) will be played over the footage and will be played by the band on stage at the final stage/ closure of the song (on stage). Could try to include slow-motion? 

Idea 3:

Performing in studio or empty room:

The band performing their song (Let Us Drown) in a empty room or in the studio with just them inside with their equipment and instruments etc. Various shots including close-ups and long shots of the band playing and each member performing and their instruments. 

Different shots of the band and individual band members infront of a background. eg. The bands logo banner. Sped-up pictures of the band to produce stuttered video footage. Low angles and high angles of the band and each member. I could also try to include slow-motion to add different dimensions and dramatic footage to the music video.

Idea 4:
Montage of backstage, laughs, and funny moments
Backstage action including setting up, the dressing room, getting ready and laughs and funny moments from the band together and from each member. Funny moments in the studio, on stage, the journey to the stage etc. The bands song playing over the visuals. Aim to match the footage with the song. Various shots including POV's, close ups, long shots, handheld footage etc.
