Adding Depth

Whilst beginning to edit our video, although we like our shots and everything, we thought that the video lacked depth and was a bit boring with solely having a string of performance and abstract shots. We also thought that many videos we have watched from our genre generally have a slight narrative element without being a narrative video and this made us  think that we also needed to do this in our video.

For inspiration on what to add to our video we looked at Tumblr for inspiration. We searched words that we thought related to the song to see what would come up. We thought 'suffocating' related best however quite scarring images and videos came up which we thought were a bit far fetched however after searching other words that came up frequently in the song we saw a recurring theme of water which we all really liked.

We thought of a few shots that we could intersperse with the footage we already have very subtly to create ambiguity which will  be interesting to watch and will let the audience think and interpret the video in different ways which will encourage them to watch it more than once which is the purpose of a good music video. 

The shot types we thought of were the tap of running water as if to run a bath. 

Feet outside the bath as if waiting to get in. 

Under water shots of a rippling bath. 

The water from the shower head coming down onto the underwater camera. 

The end shot will be a close up of the protagonist's (me) head going under the water. 

However, we didnt want this to be too obvious therefore the shots will be very short and overlapped with the performance and abstract shots to create a more dynamic video.
