story board ideas.

ok, so yesterday whilst adam was doing something else media related, me and josh sat down with the intention of tackling the story board.
we did well considering its really concept based and we tend to work better when were spontaneous. we came to the conclusion that we were going to have a performance based video that cuts to anf fro from a narrative/concept bit.
sounds complicated.
allow me to explain.
so were starting off with a opening shot of hopefully the auditorium (something we need to look at) or if that fails, then probbly a room in my house. there will be 4+ amps in the room as this is conventional of any perfromanced based music video.
actors in the video will be:
me=miming lead singing
josh=drums
jamie D= guitar
Will B=bass.
in between shots of us 'rocking out' we planned to follow this guy running through streets and buildings whilst playing with time. its hard to explain, but as hes running various things will be happening (pots smashing as hes pushes them, water spraying, panes of glass smashing, you get the idea) this will supply the video with a certain degree of narrative as at the end of the video theu guy running will arrive at his destination. now weve debated what he should be running from, running to, and i think it would be a good idea if by the end we finish on a shot of the perfomance set, but thave the guy run in and meet up with the band or something, bring them together, could be cool.
now that the video has been pretty much laid out, i will go through various technical ideas we considereing.
from day one i had always just invisaged the video to be shot in black and white, im not sure why but if yu think about it, when yu cancel out the colour, it meens the audicence has there undivided attention on whats visually going on and cant be distracted by colour.
well see how that goes though, it may be that its just the performance bit thats black and white, but we will see.
this being said, we would like to use (your going to have to forgive my lack of media knowledge on this subject) that thing that picks out certain colours and changes them. with this done in black and white i think it would look super kool. we firgured that we would pick one item of clothing of each of us and change it to the colour of our emblem, which will be a deep red (just like enter shikari's).
urm, i think this it is for the now, but if i think of anything, you bet youll be the fisrt to know
