Above is my first ideas grid for when our group were looking for a song and an idea to accompany it. The song I chose was 'From the Stars' by the band 'White Lies' (see video). My idea was to follow the very clear narrative that the song has. It follows a man who is returning to his old town to go to a friends funeral, and he is struggling to come to terms with his loss. The lyrics are very literal in places such as "took a car back to his hotel" and "put the Do Not Disturb on his door." We would have the visuals matching the lyrics during these lines (and others) to convey the narrative. We would also have had performance sections in the video, as that is important in selling the image of an indie/rock band, and would also split up the narrative. Unfortunately, despite all group memebers liking my idea, we felt that the song was too long (nearly 5 minutes) and the locations and number of actors we would require would pose us with logistical problems, and the who idea may be rather too ambitious. However, we intend to keep searching within the indie/rock genre for a suitable narrative song.
