Tattooo

just found a better pic of what they are like,

Costume

Quick post, as we are thinking of a twisted messed up ortagonist, i;ve just realised of got some tattoo sleeves, so if we want liam can wear them and his arms will be covered in markings. Like Michael from Prison Break.


So kinda like the arms , not torso though. i think it could enhance the charcter, and make it more visually interesting perhaps.

Structure

As we are doing a song in response to Katy Perry's 'I Kissed a Girl' i think we should use a similar shot structure and performance based video, but with different content, effects and editing to portray our entirely different interpretation of the song.
We should show our aggressive character straight away rather than objectifying him, perhaps with a TV smash. instead of soft safe editing, we sould illustrate the more edgy, and aggressive artist + song with abrasive cuts to challenge our audience.

As we feel the song is sinister and somewhat narcissitic i think we should utilise colou effects to illustrate this, high contrast with black and white would do so.

Big Inspiration

The mise en scene and in particular the dress code, of the singer in this video are what i believe the group should aim for in our video with the Cobra Starship song. The video also uses interesting black and white effects. The lyrics are all direct address, and the editing is on the beat but also somewhat sporadic. I believe it is portraying a similar tone and character that we should for our video, and when editing and editing effects i think we should be influenced by this style and adapt it to our own form and song.

inspiration and rough idea for boyband track

I'm thinking we could take a cheesy boyband track like the group have been thinking of like 5ive , or damage.....

For 5ive - Lets Dance

It could be based around some sort of meeting. Group would be dresed in sharp black suits, and split up. Seemingly travelling somewhere. It would be a cameo to REsevoir Dogs. Black shades etc. we could have someone driving , 2 people walking - with the classic slowed down walking shot... when they suddenly meet. Face up and being shot like a gangster shoot out would look as if something was about to kick off. THen one of the band would get out an iPod and speakers from a car boot and the track would kick in. Could then have a dance routine, with lots of camera movement to the music, and lip syncing to the track. The narrative and costume changes etc in the rest of the video could relate to different scenes in the film, so a sdnce around somone tied up in a chair etc.



Ideas for sort of location
