Initial Brainstorming

To help us create some ideas the whole cl\ass listened to each others tracks and wrote down what we imagined or would be effective in our music video. Many people in our class and beyond suggested a couple within the video. I think this is due to the lyrics,sung by a woman they reflect how she will not forgive the man she is with for what he has done. Many people had images of the couple arguing. Overall it was clear our video needed a narrative within it. We toyed with some ideas as to what the situation could entail. Cheating? Abuse? Maybe he is a soldier going off to war? Due to the sound of the drumming at the beginning many people had suggested the heme of war within our video. We eventually settled on the idea of domestic abuse yet we have chosen to portray it subtly as opposed to brutally so our video would be able to be shown on TV which seems to be a main platform where much of our audience would access music videos. Many people sad they imagined the band in an open location like over looking a city and some suggested they play at a concert. But all seemed to think that a performance element was important within the rock genre which certainly fits in with Goodwin's theory. Some creative ideas were discarded due to their almost impossible nature or it was not a path the majority seemed keen on pursuing.
