New Idea!!!

hey, well i have been at home for while now and after 24/7 of music channels i have thought of a new idea for the music video as the other idea wasnt really progressin into any detail. We still hav our original idea of a man walking however we wont hav a single shot. so basically he walks through different settings such as the town, to a village and then finally to a grave yard, and the final shot will be him lookin down at his grave. We have found another song that goes better with it as well. which is linkin parks new song "shadow of the day".

Lyrics:
"Shadow Of The Day"
I close both locks below the window
I close both blinds and turn away
Sometimes solutions aren't so simple
Sometimes good bye's the only away
And the sun will set for you
The sun will set for you
And the shadow of the day
Will embrace the world in grey
And the sun will set for you
In cards and flowers on your window
Your friends all plead for you to stay
Sometimes beginnings aren't so simple
Sometimes good bye's the only way
And the sun will set for you
The sun will set for you
And the shadow of the day
Will embrace the world in grey
And the sun will set for you
And the shadow of the day
Will embrace the world in grey
And the sun will set for you
And the shadow of the day
Will embrace the world in grey
And the sun will set for you
I believe the lyrics go well with the idea, and az likes the idea, just need to ok it with andy!!!

John, how are you feeling? Big sympathy from me!!! Make sure you're using the time in bed effectively - lots (and I mean LOTS) can be done for your CRS and music video from home. I have high expectations of your prolonged period of 'rest' at home...

Right, so you now have a song and an idea. Excellent. Now you guys really need to develop it in some detail.
Think about all the film elements.
Camera techniques to employ - angles, position, movement etc.
Editing - fades, graphic matches, dissolves? Why?
Mise-en-scene elements like props and costume. Especially for characterisation of your main guy. Back story - what motivates him? What has led him to be loking at his own grave?
Lighting and colour - lots of stuff about shadow and sun in the lyricsyou could allude to; plenty of metaphors too.
What about the style and pace of the track? How do you plan to reflect this in the video - or contradict it?
Full deconstruction of the lyrics?
Plenty to do - time is ticking...
You guys really need to hit your straps and get shooting soon.
No pressure then.
BTW, good work with the blog postings John. Are you the only one? Where's Az and Andy?
