Initial Concept

My initial concept includes a young protagonist sitting in an ordinary living room on the sofa. Once sat, they do not move for the entirety of the video however focus shall mainly be on them. The video commences as the background will experience numerous time fluctuation, revealing activity in the room around the protagonist when movement is sped or slowed.

The audience will experience the events as the protagonist does but are firmly placed as a participant or onlooker, giving the familiar sense of voyeurism experienced in music videos.

  

Some influences for this video includes another video by the band themselves called ‘Ripped Jeans’ which also shares similarities with the protagonist’s lack of movement compared with the hyper movement of the background. I also drew influence from aesthetic, the use of distortion of time and the interchange of speed of a shot through video such as; ‘Gods Whisper’ by Raury and ‘Lampshades on Fire’ by Modest Mouse. Also drawing influence through the simplicity and delicate movement of ‘Hallow Talk’ by The Choir of Young Believers.
