Animal I have become has a similar music style (though not as heavy). An example of a video that has elements that would be useful. The dark red background for the place where the band plays is dark and something like that would work well. The way that the story plays out (starting in morning going through a day) is a good idea for how to possible work our narrative. The way the camera moves and the cuts between shots is another thing we could use, the slower movement in the shots but short duration shots works well.

No looking back
The final choice for the song we want to do. A video with a similar genre and that is done in a way that we might like to do it is Animals by nickelback:
Although little other than this one setting are shown it uses good camera shots that move a lot and the way the artists look and dress is nice and simple so as not to call attention to it.
Another music video with good effect and style is Paramore's 'Misery business' The video shows a lot of shots of the band and they're all very quick and move around a lot. Quite often the camera suddenly changes and will show shots upside down or have black and white shots quickly. this give a unique and fast paced effect which is something that could also work well in our video.

message to artist of our song
Hello
We are at Long Road Sixth Form College and as part of a media studies project have chosen to use your song 'No Looking Back' for a music video.
At a long shot, if you are in cambridge at the moment or anytime soon, would you consider starring in our video?
If not could you provide us with some lyrics and maybe some ideas of how you would like the video to be.
Thankyou for your time.

CD
The songs we have chosen as our top three choices from the CD are as follows:
No looking back - Anti-social Burn-outs
Wicked game - Basboosa
Girls on T.V - Be your own PET
The three songs are all completely different and could potentially be done in interesting ways.
No Looking back
Would have to involve a lot of band footage, them playing, there could be a narrative but it'd more likely just be the band playing. maybe in different places.
The song reminded me of Animals by Nickelback so a similar effect could be achieved (though hoping for something more interesting, as that video is very plain and could have used more shots)
Although it is highly unlikely the band are from Cambridge and we can attempt to contact them to find out if they would be consider being in the video.
I imagine it'd use dark colours and the actors would wear goth or punk style clothes. perhaps heavy makeup (similar to the band themselves)
The shots would be fast and/or move around a lot and quite quickly.
Wicked game
The style of the song is very sweet and sad. The song had a style similar to hallelujah (rufus wrainright) and sounded angelic, so I imagined very soft lighting, quite light but in a dark/dull room. the main colours bieng white blue and dark grey. In contrast to the previous one, this would have longer slower shots, less movement but perhaps long panning.
The girl in the video could wear something quite elegant and very light.

Girls on T.V
The third option is reminiscent of Paramore, or that is how I imagine the main singer to look. very punky with a unique style, maybe even slightly 80s style. Like 'No looking back' it could have quick moving and short duration shots. there is more chance of involving a narrative in this video.
