Idea's for our music video:

I have come up with multiple idea's that would link in well with our genre of drum and bass. Firstly I thought that the use of masks and costumes to create an abstract atmosphere which links into the fast cuts that are conventional in relation to the drum and bass genre. I thought that we could link it in with words originally from the song that could relate to the action the artist is performing. The use of masks/ costumes could represent the current generation of youths and the necessity to hide their identities from others. This would overall have strong visuals and will help the audience relate to and interpret the artist in their own way. 

Additionally, i thought that we could make a flip book in which the artist could be seen in the music video flipping through the pages progressively seeing the changes around him. This would link in well with the genre and would make it more interesting, however in terms of making the flip book to a high quality (which would be needed) would take a long time and finding spare time to do this around both me and max's subjects and work outside of school would have been very difficult.

We thought that we could incorporate some well thought through graphics to give the music video more edge and to make it more creative. This is conventional to the drum and bass genre as we see cool graphics in most drum and bass music video's. 

Filming in the dark with lights would probably create the best effect as it will allow the scenery to be portrayed as quite grotty and unorthodox. This is a good thing because drum and bass music originates in the urban area's, relating most to middle class to lower class youths who grew up on the streets. This helps the audience relate to the artist. Filming in the dark also gives a sense of rebellion and the theme of not caring about the dangers surrounding the darkness. Which helps to convey the themes of youth culture. Furthermore, the use of the black and whet filter throughout the song incorporating some colour into parts that need to stand out. This was an initial idea of ours, we thought that putting a black and white filter on the music video would have a positive outcome as it could suggest that people who cannot relate to the genre may see it in black and white.
