Music Video Idea #2

Song: Wraith Pinned to the Mist
Band: of Montreal

How I see the video:

I see this video as being very weird and eccentric therefore there will be a lot of Green Screen use and some possible editing choices such as including comic book elements like "POW" or "BANG". They will be doing weird things including leap frogging across the studio, doing odd dance moves and being put in manny different uncommon costumes. It will have psychedelic elements as well as very obscure costumes and moments.

The band will look like a typical nerdy indie band. In the shots where they are playing their instruments they will be wearing shirts with short sleeves with a straight tie, or overalls, or a jacket, or a hat. Seeing as though there will be 4 members each with a different instrument they will all have similar costumes with a different element to show individuality.

There will not be a specific narrative in this music video as it is more of a fun and comical music video where weird things are happening. Most of these things will happen in the studio however, I thought that having a funny sequence of events happening in a supermarket would enhance the comical aspects along with people wanting to watch the video out of interest as to what will happen next.

I think this video will work very well with the song as it is just as quirky as it sounds. It will also have some literal elements in which the song says "Lets pretend we don't exist" I was thinking of having the instrumentalists disappear as the instruments keep playing. We will be able to achieve this through using strings to hold up the instruments, hopefully making it seem real, and mastering the editing techniques to increase its realness.
