The video must challenge some conventions if we want it to stand out, the most important element of the film is that we create a positive image for the band while keeping the physical product interesting. In order to do this we have been playing with a number of themes which will stand out and move away from the stereotypical rock genre.
>The Countryside
This is easily assessible as we live in a rural area and would provide us with large open expances which could make fantastic shots.
>Summer
This may be too reliant on English weather and could mean we were having to wait for specific conditions.
>Colour
Could we use the colour of the characters clothing to make a statement?
>Autumn
Again this is weather reliant but it is considerably more feasible as the weather is more constant. This also leaves us with a number of symbols with may be interesting to incorperate into our video, for example autumn leaves.
>The Home
This is a resonably easy location however this could make an atypical statement about the rock genre's generally glamourised style or alternatively look claustraphobic as it would be a small, cramped set. Alternatively we could try and find a very spaceous house to film in.
Overall I think the best ideas are Autumn and the Home, as both locations are easily assessible. The oppertunity to use autumn leaves and autumnic colour within both our video and auxillary tasks is unmissable.
