The whole group decided on a rather arty, alternative and different pop video. We watched a lot of youtube videos and listened to different indie songs and in the end we decided that the best for the ideas that we had was, to take the slow song from the band Grizzly Bear, „Foreground“.
After our first brainstorm those were the first ideas, that came out:
- slow motion
- contrast
- different bright colours
- lego falling down
- a man falling from an object
- empty wide spaces, so that we could concentrate on props
- animals
- balloons with colour, splashing on to his face
- soap bubbles
- dices
- jumps
- extraordinary costumes
etc
We then went through the lyrics, in order to connect the visual to it. It is rather hard to understand but I think that the basic theme is losing track of life and finding directions in the middle of too much work and too many stuff going on.
We all liked the idea of a plain and white studio where the audience could only focus on one guy and his surroundings. The group decided that it should only be a one man band. In other lessons we then came up with the idea to make the music video about identity and him being confused, an outsider, fragile, feminine. „Melancholy of life“. We still wanted the video to be creative and original so we thought of him drawing a moustache or glasses on to his face with bright colours.
We watched several videos were we got some ideas from:
Patrick Wolf
Noah and the Whale
