The Plan

After discussing thoroughly with our media teachers on advice for our music video, we have decided on the narrative for our music video Remain with the initial idea and emphasise the intensity with more shots, faster cuts and changes to editing. We will re-film shots which are necessary to have less white space and tighter framing. The video will involve a mysterious killer, who out of vengeance, hunts down the man that killed his brother when he was a young boy. The Hunter tracks him down and stalks him like prey through the woods. We would reveal “The Hunter” as a younger child in the middle of the video as a flashback scene. This will be apparent though a pause in the middle of the video, where the soundtrack changes to a disturbing beep taken from Time to Dance by The Shoes. The flashback will reveal The Hunter's motive and how it turned a troubled teen into an angry killer.

 

We have then been instructed to film different possible endings and see which one fits best:

1. We would have a loop connecting the start and the end together (the start is the end with a slight change). The Hunter will come into the studio at the end, take off his mask and then as he is walking up to the mic, the video would cut and a black screen would be shown. Matching similar shots shown at the beginning of the video.
    
2. Another ending idea would be at the end after “The Hunter” has just killed the victim, a face reveal would be shown showing the mysterious person taking off his mask, to actually reveal that it is the victim. Which would indicate that he is killing himself.
    
    
3. Another idea is that towards the end of the video, The Hunter (lead singer) appears at the studio door where the band are waiting to record; the band (Drummer and Guitarist) look up and are shown to be shocked/surprised, and the scene cuts to black.
    
4. Another variation is that all members (lead singer, guitarist and drummer) are there about to start recording, but then The Hunter walks through the door, and all band members look up, and it is shown that the “The Hunter" takes off his mask and he is actually the same person as the lead singer. The scene would then cut to black.
