Final Video Concept

Song Choice: Black Thumbnail - Kings of Leon

The majority of the song will be filmed in black and white, with bursts of colour in places to highlight certain aspects of our concept. The song with open with close ups of the protagonists feet , hands, head etc to create a more stylistic introduction. The protagonist will then begin to walk, which will be slowed down when editing, whilst being back tracked by the camera. In the second verse of the song the sin, pride, will enter the shot and will stylistically portray a conflict between the two characters of which the protagonist will not remember and will therefore continue walking. This will be repeated another two times within this verse with different sins all of which the protagonist will not remember. As the chorus of the song kicks in,in heightened colour, the location will change highlighting the videos surrealism and the protagonist will be hit with paint filled balloons by the three sins he had met in the previous verse. The protagonist will then move into the camera making the shot black, he will then move back completely clean from paint in an entirely new location and subsequently resume walking. This idea will be repeated in the next verse and chorus of the song with different sins. The only change in the next verse will be that the sins from the first verse will be walking behind him at a distance though still in shot and commence to follow him for the rest of the song. Within the song there is a fast paced instrumental that follows the second chorus which will result in a chase scene. Our protagonist will acknowledge that he is being followed by six of the deadly sins and begin a slow jog and ultimately jump on a bike and begin to ride as fast as possible. However the sins manage to keep up with him; he cannot escape them. At this point the song will draw to a close and the protagonist will dismount his bike and assault the sin sloth resulting in a black out and our protagonist thus becoming the final sin: WRATH!!!! Our video will close with a montage of the seven deadly sins each posed in a mug shot stance. The final shot will be of our protagonist holding a placard with Wrath written across it, he will then throw it at the camera which will then zoom towards it on the floor before fading to black.
