Group: Concept Development

Considering our feedback from the blog, we have decided to try and break the video up to deter attention away from Dan at some points. To do this, we are going to put in a number of different filler shots on each snare drum of the chorus - however some will be upside down and possibly portrait etc. The idea of using upside down shots may also be used in the scream sections of the pre-chorus; but that will be a 'see how it looks' idea.

Furthermore, it was recommended that we make the continuing zooms more 'edgy'; to do this we may use jump cuts or layer someone else screaming over the top - firstly it is unknown who would do this other scream and again we are not sure if we would use it. In reference to jump cuts, we want to apply them to the slowed down part of the song where we have the over-exposed / soft focus idea. This would be cut the beat of the song and therefore make all the movements 'jerky' and make the general sequence fairly disjunctive and possibly uncomfortable to watch.

Also, the part of the song with the initial scream will now be made up of two shots. The latter part where is says "you make me wanna scream" will be the actual scream; but the first part will be an overlap of two MCUs, one of the head static and another of the head moving - sped up and with a blur effect. Other ideas are to possibly use a 360' pan or intercut a scream with dead pan shots and movements etc.

The filler shots we are considering are:

• Hitting an actual snare drum. (Dan has a drum kit.)
• Hitting a bin with a bit of wood.
• 2 x landscape shots.
• One of the bench completely empty.
• Bird flying.
