Other Initial Ideas
Idea number one:
Other initial ideas that came from this was the idea that we would juxtapose the bollywood genre and image with another contrasting genre, for example rock or dubstep.
Therefore creating a bollywood mix.
Idea number two:
Another idea we had, was to use the drum and bass genre and add in more or increase the
volume of guitars / drums used in the tracks, for example we thought we could use Watercolour by Pendulum and have our band perform in a white box whilst in slow motion paint balloons get thrown and dropped on them. We thought it would be visually exciting if we shot it in slow motion from different angles, for example we thought about tilting the camera directly up into the air and place cling film or a glass cover over the top and film a balloon hitting it in slow motion.
Idea number three:
Another idea we had was to use stop frame animation. For this we looked up videos on youtube for inspiration and to see how it was done.
We all really like the idea of using stop frame animation in the same way as 'The Pen story'.
We looked up similar videos to see how it was done in different ways so we could decide what would suit our pop promo the best. Here are some of the videos i've found so far including a video on how they did 'The GIANT pen story'.
This is another way of using stop frame animation that we liked. This one is still shot with cameras but then each photo isn't laid out after one and other and photographed again like 'The Pen Story'! Here the photos have just been played one after another without see the boarder and solid picture in the frame itself.
I have also included how they made this music video too.
We want to animate 'Now is Everyone' in this way creating a kind of story. We like the way 'the pen story' goes around a room which has inspired us to possibly do something similar.
However, the only floor with this idea is that it may not work and may take too long. We only have one day to film so it may be impossible to accomplish getting all of our footage in one day???!! This is why we are going to try doing a few trial runs!!

They are a very new band and haven't quite worked out their image which makes this project exciting for us because we are going to have to work from scratch and create and promote this band for REAL instead of pretend.
