My Moodboard; by Ben

I decided to concentrate a lot more on the colours and possible effects rather than the location. This is because i felt that the style of the video would only need very basic locations that wouldn't need major construction and planning. As a result, i strongly believe that a basic black and white background for the narrative with bursts of colour and bright animations to stand out would be the best option and a very strong idea to take back to the group. This is because I believe that it would really highlight our extraordinary capabilities with special effects and bring the audience's attention to it.
I have looked at the prospect of having a perfomance video or at the least having filter shots from a retro-animated narrative with a pop-art feel to it. The perfomance aspect of the moodboard involves having close ups of the instruments because i think that this style of shooting would look really good with the track and fit into the music genre we are looking at.
Also, whilst listening to the track i got a visual idea in my mind during the lyrics "A bigger man could probably get past it all... Oh the problem here is that I just won't grow up." I had this idea of a post-modern, contemporary style of special effects/animation that sees a man (whether in real life or animated..) suddenly grow really big into a "bigger man" the shrink down into being small and defenceless, "I just won't grow up." Its a very contemporary idea but i really think that it could work with the track and also this comical aspect would construct the meta-narrative of the band as being almost jokers and having fun with the lyrics.
