OS - Concept Development 3

Location
Both myself and Nathan plan to go on reccies by Wednesday and i believe Nathan will go to Camber Sands on Monday while i will go to Brighton on Tuesday. We will both take cameras and take pictures and possible shots we may use in the final video. We picture Oli Mauirce on top of the sand dunes with an amp either side of him for the guitar solo at around 2.18 mins into William Powers. I will go to Brighton and see if i can find any possible locations and take more shots while trying to think how we can include the band Midnight and the lead character.

Characters
We plan to use the band Midnight to aid us in our video. We also plan to use two lead characters; a boy and a girl. They will be around the age of 15 to 18, so hopefully when i complete our audience research, the audience will be happy with the two ages of the characters as they can relate to them.

Concept
What we plan to do is to have the two characters move away from each other in the beginning of the video. They were together living in Rye but the boys family had to move to Brighton so they are separated. The video will show how they cope without each other and what maybe there final reunion at the end of the song. Hopefully we will use trains to show how the boy will visit her in the end part of the song. This song is emotionally powerful so we thought we needed an equally powerful concept to match the lyrics of the song.

Lighting
For lighting you can see the post below but we will encounter some problems as we need to decide what time we want to shoot it. We may decide to try and incorporate a sunset to the final ending of the music video which may look good with the couple reunited. In Brighton the filming should be easier as there will be many lights in the city which we can take advantage of. Furthermore the pier maybe a good location to shoot with him looking out to the sea with the girl in Camber looking out to the sea as well.

Grain of Voice
For the grain of voice we feel we have someone capable of looking fine to sing the song of William Powers. This person is the lead singer of the band Midnight, Ryan Bunce. He would suit the song perfectly as he can sing indie songs naturally. This will be useful as we don't want someone who cant sound slightly similar to the lead singer of The Maccabees as it would look funny and wrong.
