Initial Idea Of Video Design

Song Choice - "Positive Post Negative" by Cohesion

Video Format - The design of the video will feature a dramtic story which we have chosen, intergrated with live shots of the band playing in their practice room. The live performance will be set in a fixed location, which is where the narrative will end up in a dramtic turn at the end, as our concept features the live performance and the plot linking together at the end to surprise the audience. We are looking for a very dramtic, possibly even a tragic storyline to go alongside the live performance as the meaning of the song's lyrics are all about how someone can deal with a great loss and how they look to rebuild their lives and move on from it.

Cast - Members of the band, Cohesion:
  • Matthew Watchman (Lead vocals and Guitar)
  • Jonny Hall (Guitar)
  • David Wright (Bass)
  • Jordan Taggart (Drums)
We also need 2-3 female cast memebers, and also one more extra to play another character.

Storyline/Design - "The girl" (Actor Unknown) is hanging around with her friends in her house (Unknown Actors) until she recieves a text from one member of the band, prompting her to leave her friends early and head off to see the band practice. As she nears the practice studio she has been prompted to go to, she gets herself hit by car, but luckily gets up! The driver of the car gets out to check on "The Girl", but she begins speeding away, turning to say she is fine and runs off towards the practice room. As she gets their, she runs down the corridor and flings the door open to the practice room, this is where we see a shot from the band's point of view, where they look up at the door and there is no-one there! This is the tragic moment of realisation where the audience learn "The Girl" was actually killed when the car hit her, but just incase this isn't clear to the audience, we are still toying with one of two posssible options, the first will feature the girl looking down, seeing that she is covered and blood and she learns that she is dead. The second will feature a cut back to the car, with a frantic driver looking at the body of the girl, ringing for help whilst the camera zooms in on "The Girl", emphasising the fact she is dead.
