2. Final Idea
2.1. We came together as a group to see each others ideas and which one we favoured the most.
2.2. The final idea was based around Michelle's idea of a break up in a relationship. The ideas was about a 2 people who were in love but separated and the video is focussed mainly around the male character that is hurt in the homosexual relationship. The video would follow the highlights of their breakup building up. The character then goes into a breakdown and starts to destroy all the physical memories e.g. photos that he has.
2.3. We decided to use a homosexual relationship rather than a heterosexual one as this will produce a greater impact on the audience as it is unique compared to most other music videos however it does also mean that is is conventional of the indie genre and therefore appeals to the market in greater detail
2.4. Setting: The room in which the video will be set will be decorated in photos and images of the relationship
2.5. There will be 2 male characters who are in a homosexual relationship
2.6. Props: There will be photos, train tickets & books situated all around the room to suggest times of the relationship between the two characters.
2.7. Evaluation: We believe this idea will be successful, as it features a multi strand narrative that will be appealing to the audience. Also the audience from the indie genre are more likely to find the video engaging as we have used a homosexual couple, as well as stages of the relationship that could be viewed as relatable for the audience. The breakdown of the character and how his life has changed will also be appealing to the audience as it con-finds with the uses and gratifications theory on relatibility.
