INITIAL IDEA 2

Everything in reverse...

My second idea for my indie music video is based on the subject of turning back time, in other words showing everything in reverse. This means the end of the narrative would be at the beginning of the video and the start of the narrative would be at the end as the story is reversed. I want to follow a story line of either domestic violence, arguments, crime or loneliness that would involve lots of different events and scenes. This however depends on the song I choose (possible songs related to this idea are listed below), for example if the song is about getting drunk the narrative would be about alcohol abuse.
The video would have moments of slow-motion to show the most effective clips being reversed such as smashed glass bottles which I would include as a close-up shot. I would record the whole video as normal then edit the all clips backwards via an editing software such as Windows Movie Maker.

POSSIBLE SONGS:

• Everything Everything - Regrets ---> regrets; arguments, mistakes, drug/alcohol abuse, wrong                                                               decisions made, looking to be forgiven
• Ed Sheeran - Drunk ---> alcohol abuse, drunken arguement, hangovers, partying
• Catfish and the Bottlemen - Fallout ---> domestic argument, relationship break-up

INSPIRED VIDEOS:

The four music videos linked below have all been recorded backwards, edited in reverse or acted out backwards. I am able to take inspiration from the different shots that appear effective when reversed such as jumping, smashing glass bottles, dropping objects, running water, getting dressed, floating feathers, walking, car accidents, violent arguments and dancing.
