Inital Ideas

Grind - Unnamed

The idea for this music video is half performance, half narration (for locations see 'location record' blog post). The performance part of the video is going to be different shots of the band, both separately and as a whole band. Our surrounding is to have a dirty, abandoned feel to it, this is why we went round the docks of Grimsby to see what we could find.
The idea for the narration part relates to the lyrics and meaning of the song. The song being called "Unnamed" is about one night stands, illicit sex with strangers and 'booty calls'. We thought to go with this feel, each member of the band will be contacted by said girl and will then go to her house to sleep with her (this will be done in a subtle manner e.g: The camera follows them upstairs and a flannel shirt is hung on the outside of the bedroom door.) Another shot would be after the girl has slept with the members of the band, she tallies it on her bed post, relating to the lyrics "All I am to you is another mark, on your bedpost." After the sex, each member of the band will be 'pie-faced' by this girl, to symbolize that it meant nothing to her. 


Shot Ideas

Split-Screen - the use of this will allow all band members to be on screen at the same time with different shots. It can also mean we can show different scenes at the same time, should a specific lyric be significant.

Texting - this shot will be made clear to the audience what is happening, as the message from the girl is important. This informs the audience what is happening, as well as it links to the lyrics of the song.
 

Establishing Shot - the establishing shot will be used to set the scene which will be used towards the beginning and end of the music video.

Close ups - close ups will be used mainly on the band member's faces separately for specific lyrics to enhance importance. They will also be used on props which are also important, such as phones for example.
