Previous Work: UPDATE #1 Brainstorming

Date: Saturday 31st August

Last Friday myself and Becky met up to discuss ideas of the Enigma music video. Together we wrote an email to Enigma to meet with them, so they know who they are working with and what their ideas are. They wish to star in the video and gave us a couple of things that they would like in the video. 

This is a quote from the email sent by James to Becky:

"...something along the lines of either filming the band play with all the equipment either outside somewhere or filming just us on the beach..."
Jame Vivia - bass guitarist/backing vocals

Engima has already said previously in another email they would like it to be filmed at the beach. We came up with a an idea for a video where there will just be shots of them having fun, timed and transitioned well with the music. One issue we had was that the idea was too One Direction so we have put in a plot line relevant to the song. This in turn will give the video a darker rocky edge then previously thought. 

On Saturday the 17th I went to the Waterfront, Norwich. I was then able to see what audience they were aimed at, what their music style was and their on stage presence. I used this as extra research of the band.

Here are some early ideas for the first 30 seconds. The beginning of the video is silent with just ambiance  but the music is triggered with the characters movements. The idea of the missed call builds up the story line within the first couple of shots. The phone then becomes a primary concept of the girl who plagues the characters mind. 

The montage is then showing all of the characters getting ready and are generally more upbeat. The entrance of one of the band members at the beginning is very useful to go into the montage, otherwise you can't identify the first character with the rest, therefore being confusing.
