Music Video Brainstorming
Preface:
In my upcoming film, I will be shooting a music video with my friends. For this, I wanted to make something more than just a collection of the band members playing the song. I want to make a story or at least illustrate themes of friendship and close-bonds, and so I brainstormed how I could incorporate a basic story/setup into a music video. Instead of just having essentially B-Roll, I decided to have a progression of events. My goal here is to show the bonds that a group of friends develop through their high school days, trying to capture that nostalgia of hanging out with close friends and having careless fun. This bond will be played off of with the existence of the band itself, symbolizing their friendship in general. Below, I have general ideas of what can be includes with the band "The Visitors" as well as what should happen when.
Ideas:
- About them setting up a show
- Individual segments for each member, each doing their own thing
- More dynamic and wacky movements
- Footage of them playing from their garage concert and from THON Factor
- Scroll down of their Instagram page as it zooms out and rotates
General Order of Events
- Garage
- First dimly lit and then garage door opens to start the song
- Them playing the song in the garage
- Them separated being relatively uninterested (school, job, home, etc.)
- Them meeting up at the first house
- Them playing video games
- Them in the house hanging around
- They look at the clock and start getting out
- When they get out, it's like they're moving a little fast
- One who was behind runs out
- Taking down equipment (possibly)
- Funny things happen
- The boys getting into a car (cuts of the them putting equipment into it)
- They shove it in as if it barely fits and call it good
- Them driving and having fun (POV from in the car probably from phone)
- On the way they get food
- Them arriving and setting up equipment
- Go back to them playing
- Once it's starts going off again the show is just about ready
- At the climax the show starts
- Lights turn on at this point
- Crowd enjoying show
- Juxtapose to them singing it earlier in the first location
