Ideas and Thoughts

As a group, we have not fully yet decided on the song we are going to create a video too, however, we have decided that we are going to go for a more unconventional style of video. By this we mean we are aiming to create a video that interests the audience, with strange elements and unnerving ideas. We did think about creating a professional-looking, conventional music video, as this could achieve a high mark if done well, but we felt there were more reasons to attempt a more unconventional style of video, for example:

- Aiming for an unconventional style of music video brings originality and fresh ideas to the video which will help us achieve a higher mark, a give us more freedom in our work.

- Working with strange scenes and shots appears to be more interesting and surreal as apposed to just working with a conventional music video.

- There is a lot of freedom by doing this type of video in the sense that we can mix narrative and performance more easily and include extremely different shots to other groups. The shots will still fit in to the video because of how unconventional our music video will hopefully be.

We feel that the possibilities are rather limited when aiming to a conventional music video, it has to fit certain requirements, such as a very definite balance of performance and narrative. In the style we have chosen, there are no limits as to what we can do, we have the freedom to create an original and strangely entertaining piece.
