Enigma music video break down

While listening to the song, me and Alice thought of possible shots for the music video and other notes that me and Alice noted independantly to be included with in the video. Alice constructed a timeline for the music video.

Time	Focus Shots	Other Notes
0-20	Focus mainly on guitar. Solemn Expression of band	Start off with one main light. Dimly lit. Animation: Tapping of feet
21-30	Focus on lead singer, static shots
31-34	Full shot of band, environmental shot	As music builds up more light variation
34-36	Drummer, close up of playing. Back view circle formation	Different colours or flickering effect with a white light.
37-1:00	Change of angle on different of different band members
1:01 – 1:12	Guitar
1:13 – 1:23	Bassist and Singer
1:24 – 1:45	Singer Close-up
1:46 – 1:58	Guitarist, extreme close up, odd shots	Guitar riff @ 1:46 – 2:40, all lights should be on. Casting a big shadow.
1:59 – 2:03	Cut to singer with long note hold
2:04 – 2:32	Guitarist riff, brightly lit, full focus on finger work	Slow down the pace of the transitions between shots.
2:33 – 2:43	All shot	At riff end, go back to quick cuts.
2:44 – 2:51	Drummer, guitarist and bassist transitions	Animation: Head bang
2:51 – 3:05	All, Fast/quick shots. Cuts to each members then all
3:06 – 3:09	Confetti Cannon? Band static and motionless. Fade to black as lights turn off.

 

These are ideas about where to place certain things with in the music video.

 

First, the main singer (Ryan) would have a spot light on him while the back ground is in darkness. I was thinking of starting the music video in black and white and then gradually making it more colourful by the end. I was thinking that the shots would be quick, so that the audience's attension would remain on the band and the song throughout.

Me and Alice have not yet decided whether to actually host a 'concert' and have extras join in with the filming or whethe the scene should just be the band and the lights.

With in the music video, me and Alice agreed that the band should play through out most of the scenes. Also there should be many shots of each of the band members with head anf mid shots. Also there should be a wide range of angles included to make the video more interesting.

We have not decided whether we should film at another location or whether to stay and film at the warehouse. I believe filming elsewhere wold add variety to the video.

The band has access to a confetti cannon, I believe that this scene will be at the end of the song, (many music videos with confetti cannon use them at the end to create a dramatic ending) and this would be more affective. Through out the music video i was thinking of using powder paint an have the band throw it at each other, this would create a more colourful and exciting activity for the band to show, happiness or the competitive side of them.
