R+P Post 19: My Influences and vision for the project

After extensive individual research, we have pooled our ideas together and have collectively came up with the concept and visual styling of our music video. We have now created a 'steal-o-matic' in order to visually represent our ideas whilst also highlighting our key influences.

As can be seen from this video, there are 3 different key set-ups that we want to create.

Performance

Firstly, there is the performance scene. This part of our video will contain all four band members and will adhere to the key conventions of a performance rock music video. We used clips from 'King For A Day' by Pierce The Veil, as well as multiple other bands with similarly inspirational performances.

Paper Scene

The second third of our video will be taken up by the "paper scene" that we are developing. We really want the video to have a strong conceptual aspect that is slightly unconventional. I have had many inspirations for this part of the video, the most significant being 'Whats happened in Soho?' by The Correspondents. This video was extremely influential as it has really aided my visualization of our own concept and it has helped us learn how to build up the textures and layers of meaning without overcrowding a scene.

UV Face Paint

Finally, the last aspect of our video will be the UV black and white face paint. These images have been our main references, however the initial idea was from just a circuit . We feel that this section will help anchor the technology theme and expose the universality of its effect. These shots will add depth and give the concept more complex subtleties.
