Initial Ideas

Music video

In order for us to decide the best idea for our music video, we each came up with ideas and discussed each of them as a group.
Our first initial idea, based on the tempo and rhythm of the track, was a slow paced video. This meant that it matched the vibe of the song, and did not differ from this. If the music video was hectic and fast paced, it would not fit the initial feeling of the song.
Secondly, we all believed that the video should revolve around some sort of horror story. This was because of the lyrics of the piece, including the frequent reference to 'ghosts' and 'ghouls'. We felt that this would suit the tempo of our song, and additionally the slow paced video we were initially aiming for.
We as a group believed that the narrative of this piece should revolve around some sort of dream, or contrarily, a nightmare. This was because of the line 'Pull up your sheets', paired with the idea of ghosts and ghouls being repeated several times. This lead us on to our character. We wanted our character to be in a dream state, so this meant that he should be wearing pyjamas, due to the character being asleep. This would lead onto the character waking up (in his nightmare) and walking around the location.
Our initial ideas in terms of location were all vastly similar. We instantly decided the  best suited location to our narrative theme was a dark forest. This was because of the stereotypical conventions of horror being dark and scary locations, such as a forest.
