Video Idea

Our video idea will consist of the song 'What You Know' by Two Door Cinema Club and music video ideas from both the video to this song and also the video to 'Carry Me' by Bombay Bicycle Club. We feel that the song allows us to meet in the middle like we discussed in our previous post 'Music Genre' as we enjoy different genres of music. We liked the style of both of the bands as it fit the stereotypical look of indie audiences. We feel that many people of our age enjoy to dress and look this way therefore found this the least difficult to portray as an overall style within our video. Long hair, glasses, shirts etc. All appealed to us. We also found the simple drumming element quirky and effective. It stood out to us and it's something we want to include within our video. The simplistic background fit our pitch idea also. Although the dancing in the video did not appeal to Molly, we both enjoyed the idea of having dancing within our video. It adds something unique and extra to our video and we believe we can make it look effective.  

The video will have both a performance and narrative element and will include all members playing one individual drum. The idea was to have all band members playing the drums scenes with elements of the narrative. The idea behind the narrative is based on a hidden/forbidden love as we feel our target audience will be able to relate to this in some sense. The dancing will portray two people that are in love but cannot be together. We will be filming against a plain white background and will dress the band in simplistic clothing such as shirts, T-shirts and plain trousers. 

The drumming scenes will be similar to those shown within the two videos.

Previously we decided on the song 'Feel' by Bombay Bicycle Club (BBC) however our teachers felt that the song would be difficult to achieve with the idea we have. Our teacher told us about Suren De Saram, the drummer of BBC and that we should research his work. We discovered the percussionist is very talented and his work is very difficult to create a replica of therefore decided it would be easier to change the song. We chose 'What You Know' by Two Door Cinema Club as it had the drumming beat we were looking for.
