AO - Responding to a track

1. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Xgerv2PicU
   


2. The genre of our track is Indie rock/ alternative, which is the same as the album that the band has released.


3. I think that our video could use lo-fi, as we are looking at having an abstract video, which is quite weird. So lo-fi could be quite useful for this style.



4. I’ve looked at videos that are of a similar genre; Blur- Coffee & Tea, Arctic Monkeys- Fluorescent Adolescent, The Kooks- She moves in her own way. I think that we can gain some ideas or different camera shots from these videos as a result.



5. I couldn’t find a budget for Blur’s Coffee & Tea, but I think that the video would have had quite a high budget, at the time as it used animation, which when it was filmed would have been expensive for to make.



6. At this moment we don’t have many ideas for our track, as we have only recently decided which track we are doing. But some ideas that we have are; one lead character/singer in different locations, as the lyrics are about ‘seeing the world’.


7. I think that we could mainly use city/urban areas to shoot the video, as they fit in with the genre and style of the track. But we could also mix it up with different types of locations as well.
   


8. The main character would need to be someone who has a indie/rock look to them, as this is the genre of our track. The character would also need to be good at lip-synching as I think the video will be mainly performance based.



9. An idea that we have is using a green-screen, to shoot different locations over the world, so our character can be in a lot of different countries in the video.



10. If we are looking to have shots of a band, then we would need to employ some friends that play suitable instruments. We could also need some people to help out with the filming of the video, or maybe starring as the lead character.
