After doing some research into music videos, i had another meeting with the band in a hope of sorting out exactly what they want in their video and how they want it to look. As it is a commission, it's really their decision as to what goes in the video and what doesn't so we need to clear everything with them before.
They are still unsure about what they want, apart from them being in it. They definately have to be in it, so i'm thinking probably a performance video. We asked them about using a narrative in the video, and they seemed unsure. One of them said "I don't know about a story.. It's gotta be relevant, can you keep it relevant to the song?"
We wanted to create a narrative that fitted in with the theme of the song, but as the theme was about the war in Iraq and people dying, we decided to scrap that idea as we couldn't really kill anyone and get away with it, and faking it can look pretty stupid sometimes, especially with students who don't really take it seriously.
If we tried to re-create a war theme, we would basically be tryin
g to recreate the My Chemical Romance video for Ghost of You. This video was clearly a big budget thing, and looks effective because of that. If we tried to create something like this with a low budget it would look ridiculous, so we decided to go with a performance based video, unless we could think of something much better.
We decided it would be hard to create a narrative that worked with the song and stayed true to the message it was giving, so i think the idea of a performance based video, is how we're going to play this one.
