1) The first idea was a rather literal video, following the narrative of the lyrics mixed with elements of the performance. The whole video will take place inside an elevator. At the very beginning of the video the band are setting up the instruments, mics, etc., inside an elevator. When the vocals come we see some close-up shots of the singer. When the chorus comes in the rest of the band join in the performance. At that moment the video should become much more shaky and use special lighting/visual effects as if the elevator is lifting off into space. The whole video is performance of the band but using clever shots and editing techniques you give the audience the impression that they are taking off into space in the elevator. Use a lot of unique and varying shots of the band to avoid the video from getting boring.
2) There are two parts of the video. Narrative and performance. The performance aspect is the same as the first idea (performance inside an elevator and techniques that give it the impression of it taking off). The narrative focuses on the singer. The general theme behind the idea is 'escapism' which is why he wants to escape into space. The narrative shows his general problems in life: bullying, parent issues, etc.
3) Another performance video. Record it using green screen. Use different space themed backgrounds throughout the video. Use lots of interesting camera shots/effects. Use lots of colours. Use lots of different lighting/visual effects. Make it look very unreal and abstract. Use different speeds. Use different video filters. This idea relies heavily on smart and spontaneous camera shots as well as a lot of post-production.
4) This idea has nothing to do with the song or the lyrics but shows what our band stands for. Our band appeals to the youth and is an indie band that is very communal. A mix of performance and narrative. The band will be performing in a small, local community hall to a group of young people. Random shots of narrative can be shown of the band helping out the community. For example, painting a building, helping out children, helping old ladies across the street. This helps get the ideals of the band across in the video. Will be very upbeat and use happy colours/lighting.
