We recently came up with the idea of having a very simple and short narrative in the car park whilst the band were playing. Our idea was that a couple would be arguing and fighting, then the singer would go up to them and break up the fight and take the girlfriend away from the boyfriend. This would then lead to a small 'hide and seek' sort of game in the car park, and we would have cool shots of the singer and girlfriend hiding from the boyfriend who is looking for them. We made some test shoots of what we thought could be included, and the girl used in the test shoot is a possible contender to be the main actress in the video if we go along with this idea, so this was a good bonus.
What did we learn?
The test shoot gave us a useful insight into what it would look like, and despite the humour and a few laughs in the shoot, it ended up giving us a good starting point on what we can now develop into a strong idea. For example, we tested out pushing and shoving between the characters which we liked as this links in with the jungle atmosphere and the causticness of the jungle, and the facial expressions we made would be an important detail as we could include close ups of the faces, and possibly use them in slow-motion to create a better effect.
