Change of Plan

It's not just you, I am also sick of hearing that we've changed our idea but we began filming for our previous idea and we all hated the outcome of even the one idea we liked the most. We thought our idea was very basic and lacked substance because of it's abstract concept. We wanted to achieve something better. So, we went back to the drawing board and this is going to be our song choice last and for all.

We heard the song White Noise by PVIS and all fell in love we thought the beat was much better and because of it's indie/pop rock genre the conventions are better suited to the style of video we wanted to create.

Also, as this song doesn't have it's own video we won't fall in the trap of stealing ideas from it and then end up creating a re make instead of a some what original video. 

The song is quite strong and therefore needed a strong narrative to go along with it in our opinions. 

I asked friends and family what they envisioned for a music video when they heard this song which set a foundation for our ideas to flow from. 

*insert video you will make* 

From this we really liked what one person said about someone going crazy in somewhere like a mental institution and we thought this could be something we could achieve and make look quite professional. 

From the start we were all a fan of the grey scale videos as we thought it just gave a nice effect and a professional feel. We have also seen overlapping techniques in videos before and the kaleidoscope affect which are some elements we wanted to create during post production.

"White Noise"

It's hard to be what you need through a static screen. 
Been trying to speak for weeks and weeks. 
Open my mouth, 
All that comes out is white noise and incomprehensible sounds, 
And all you ever do is turn me down. 

I'm watching.
I'm waiting.
I'm aching. 
Suffocating. 
I'm breathing. 
I'm speaking. 
Can you hear me?
I'm screaming for you. 

Day by day, 
I'm slowly replaced in your picture frames. 
A brand new face on your pillowcase. 
Come the night you dim the lights and close the blinds, 
But I still see them running down your spine, 
Cause I illuminate the room, 
Just enough to watch you. 

I'm watching.
I'm waiting.
I'm aching. 
Suffocating. 
I'm breathing. 
I'm speaking. 
Can you hear me?
I'm screaming for you. 

Sick of the lack of signal. 
Sick of the lack of touch. 
Sick of the static voice. 
It's not enough, it's not enough. 
Baby it's hard to be just what you need when all I speak is static screams.
Can you hear me? 

I'm watching.
I'm waiting.
I'm aching. 
Suffocating. 
I'm breathing. 
I'm speaking. 
Can you hear me?
I'm screaming for you.

The lyrics connote anger and sadness so we think the grey scale affect in post production would go with this nicely as the dull tone will correlate with the way the protagonist feels.
