Our song is a remix of WOODKID's Iron. This remix is a fusion of electro/house and melancholic alternative. Therefore, our intention is to represent that fusion through our video. We have sourced information form a range of videos across each of the genres in order to immerse ourselves in the styles of each, allowing us to psychologically piece together a 'hybrid' of the three, and align or mindset to produce a striking and original video inspired form all three genres and styles. The electro/house style segments of the track will be represented through dark, lively rave scenes shot in slow motion to avoid it being too lively, as that would clash with the melancholic lyrics.
The narrative segments would be performed by me, heavily influenced by the style of WOODKID's Iron music video which features extremely well lit and directed shots from a wide range of angles and shot types. It is important that our narrative scenes are carefully thought out and planned. Due to the absence of stand out instruments, our performance and narrative scenes will be blended into the same thing. This may seem confusing at first as it is hard to describe on paper, and is better communicated using a more visual approach.
We like the idee of me narrating the story and Billy acting out the narrative shots. In a way, he will shoot the 'main' narrative shots and I will perform the 'secondary' narrative and main performance shots. In a way, we will both be telling our own story through actions and body language in the video.
We found that Deadmau5's video for 'I Remember' very strongly relates to the main body of our ideas and we feel it is the closest to our desired outcome that we have found. We will obviously be bringing in our own hybrid elements to make our video unique such as the use of slow motion, multi-cam and black and white processing. I will break down each video individually in later blog posts to give a more detailed breakdown on an individual basis to explain exactly what information and inspiration we get from each video.
