Years and years- Take Shelter, Banks-BRAIN

We really like these two videos and are considering incorporating parts of these videos into our music video. From 'Take Shelter', we really liked the fact that parts of it was set in a forest as this is the same setting we want to use for our video. We also liked the scene where she was painting a symbol on the tree. We would also like to incorporate this idea into our video, however we may not be able to paint on the tree due to legal reasons, so to overcome this we could use chalk instead, which can easily be washed off. We are currently researching different symbols relating to 'the coming of age', which is the theme of our video, and hope that these symbols will be reoccurring in the video so that the theme is clear.

We also liked the abstract feel to the 'Brain' video. We found the first shot of BANKS in a circle was quite effective so we were thinking of incorporating this into our music video but using other shapes e.g. circles, triangles, squares etc.During the faster paced music parts, the shots are also cut faster along with the music, however these scenes are abstract and are mainly of different triangular shapes We also want to create this abstract feel to our music video but with the fast cut images of our different symbols so that we don't stray from the theme.

This week we are going to try and play our chosen song along with these visuals to give us a better understanding on what parts of the video we could use as inspiration for our music video.
