Something that occurred to me is that in our music video we are not doing the 'traditional' video - meaning we are not having any shots of either me or Ellie lip-syncing to the camera along with the lyrics of the song. This may be slightly unconventional, and the reason why is because we want our video to completely immerse the audience in the narrative, so much so that they don't even think of the video as a music video - more like a short film, if we were the artists who performed the song we could probably have a full film if you put our music videos together - many artists have done running narratives throughout an album, and their music videos show that.
Greenday - American Idiot -
This album had two songs interlinking with one another to make a longer narrative, Holiday, and Boulevard of Broken Dreams, where Holiday ends, BoBD's began.
My Chemical Romance -Danger Days, The True Lives Of The Fabulous Killjoys:
Again two interlinking songs - NaNaNa and Sing link together one after the other. And the particular part of these two videos is the artists do not lip-sync at all during the two videos. They are literally short films.
And that is what we aim to do.
