Video Concept 3

Backwards Action 
All or portions of the video are done in reverse. Usually, although not always, makes use of how strange setting things on fire, getting really dirty, or smashing your guitar look when played backwards. Sometimes the singer will lip synch backwards, still others try to mime playing their instruments backwards as well, which looks totally wrong more often than not.

• Mute Math, "Typical"
• Jack Johnson, "Sitting, Waiting, Wishing"
• The Matches, "Chain Me Free"
• Remy Zero, "Save Me" (yes, the Smallville theme song)
• Coldplay, "The Scientist"
• The ending of "Weird Al" Yankovic's "Amish Paradise"
• Nine Inch Nails, "Deep"
• Enigma, "Return to Innocence"
• Linkin Park, "Bleed It Out"
• Embrace, "Ashes"
• Elio e le Storie Tese, "Mio cuggino". They even acknowledge this in the beginning of the video, by saying it was filmed in "IndietroScope" (indietro means "backwards" in Italian). It is also lip-synched backwards.
• God Lives Underwater, "From Your Mouth". The entire video consists of reversed footage of one man eating.
• The Pharcyde, "Drop". The group performs the entire song backwards, and shows what getting 100 gallons of water dumped on you looks like in reverse.
• David Cook, "Come Back To Me"
• Cibo Matto, "Sugar Water" runs backwards AND forwards on opposite sides of the screen and briefly joins up in the middle. One side is flipped so it take a while to work out what's happening.

More Video Concept

Junkyard/Construction Site 
Another one popular with the hard rock crowd, this setting seems dependent on the theme of disorganization or destruction (yes, even the construction sites). Often with random fires scattered about, usually at night.

• Tesla, "No Way Out"
• Britny Fox, "Long Way To Love"
• The British-only video for Def Leppard's "Pour Some Sugar On Me" featured a house being demolished — with the band inside.
• Green Day, "Brainstew"

Video Concept

We aim to have a band performance and a story-line narrative for the music video. The concept we have is more of the following:
Garage Rock
This video shows the band using a "classic" rehearsal space such as a garage, warehouse, maybe even a spare bedroom. Real big with young or just-starting-out hard rock bands, or with older bands looking to reconnect to such times.

• Metallica's "One", between clips from the movie Johnny Got His Gun, showed the band in a warehouse. An alternate version removed the film clips.
• Trixter, "Give It To Me Good"
• The Offspring, "Can't Repeat"
• Orange, "No Rest For The Weekend"
• Bowling For Soup's 1985 video is this with references to famous video tropes and bands.
• Billy Talent, "River Below"
• The Smithereens, "Blood & Roses"
• No Doubt's "Don't Speak" alters between this, the Performance Video and photo-session scenes.
• Weezer, "Say It Ain't So"

New Concept Shots

School Hall

Wilmington Grammar Shots

 

The staircase shot is in the IT department of our school,this concept puts the main character in a somewhat thinking position and the shot interprets the directors view of what kind of setting we want the individual person to be in,the model in the shot is our team member and assistant director Adam Johnson.






The screen here is the initial idea we had to expose the loneliness of the main character,this concept was to have him in the middle of a few extras as they look up at an edited image on the screen of probably a band performing.




The above image is just an arial shot of the front of our school to emphasize the location in general,tis is the main entrance an just in the background,is the hall which also intend to use for a few shot of the main character in  the video.

Piccadilly Circus Concept

Piccadilly Circus
We had a few other ideas,one of them was to shoot at  the iconic Piccadilly Circus centre in London, the idea was to replace the advert boards with a band performance,this is just an idea at the moment we may eventually discuss the possibility of actualizing the shot. Our director Micheal Burrin believed at this point that we should try all our more realistic ideas and then see if we can fit this scene into the entire story line of the video.
