I have decided that I want my music video to seem as though it as been drawn. I will scan a copy of a piece of lined paper and draw boxes on it. Each box will contain a different part of the video and as the song plays; the video will sort of zoom out from the paper, and pan across to the next box before it zooms in again to show the next clip. Each box will contain a portion of the music, such as: 1st verse, chorus, 2nd verse, and chorus. I will also experiment with different filter effects for the video to create a hand drawn look. This will hopefully go well with the paper style background. However, altering the effects may make it hard to watch the video and so this idea could be scrapped in favour of unedited clips. Overall, I want the video to seem like a photo album. I believe that the song is talking about the singers past where he has recently had something bad happen. I am assuming that he has split up with his girlfriend and is trying to get away from the bad memories and feelings, hence the line “I’ll keep you in mind when I run”.
The actual video recording will show a band playing and singing during the chorus and a flashback sequence during the two versus. This will help enhance the idea that the video is a virtual photo album as it will show what has happened in the past. The flash backs will have a filter on them to make them slightly brighter and vibrant, making it clear that it is a flashback. The chorus where the band will be filmed will mostly just be the singer as it is meant to be a story about him. Therefore, the other band members, (drummer, guitar and bass) will only appear in brief clips, such as the drum heavy quiet parts in the intro instrumental.
