Performers/Characters:
A band consisting of: Me (Bass), Bobby (Guitar), Daniel (Vocals) and Matt (Drums)
I have chosen these people to do these roles of "The Band" as we can all actually play the instruments given to each person and Daniel is willing to sing as i found no singer that was actually up for the job or was available for this video.
Settings:
Band performace will be in a black room, and the solo performances will be outside in a woody area.
The reasons i have picked to use these locations are that both seperate locations represent different things withing the meaning of the song. Id you read below in the last post, i have written about the song meaning and the song is representing the band and their thoughts they they want to give across to the audience and the meaning of this song is about being yourself and being you you want to be and not what other people or socioty want you to be. So things that i am going to put in within the setting to represent this is the outside area for the solos parts which will represent the singular people doing what they want to do by playing their instruments outside and also with a more literal meaning to the name of the song i will add in shots of a bird watching the outside performances from the different people getting ready to fly away and they finally flying at the end as the song has inspired the bird to do so.
The setting i have chosen for inside is to help represent part of the band name in a way. The name "Shinedown" implies that sometimes you shine out and stand out and sometimes you are down and depressed and sut away from everything. I will represent the "down" part of the name with the indoor setting by using a dark room which will indicate the depression of being alone and down.
Costumes:
While in the black room we will perform in dark coloured bottoms with light coloured tops to act as sort of uniform that socioty wants us to wear as it is plain black and white to make other people happy and not yourself which is what this clothing, lighting and setting will represent in the song/video. when i am recording outside I am going to get averyone to wear whatever they want to wear to represent being yourself which is also what the setting and lighting will represent in the video.

Camera work:
These are some of the camera shots/angles that i am going to include within my video. With these I will also include features such as: push/pull focus, tilts and pans. I will use lots and lots of different shot types and angles as the pace of the song is quite fast in parts so when i get to the editing stage of the video i will be able to choose from lots of different shots to go with the fast pace by putting in fast editing to match the pace of the song.
Props:
The only props that i will need for my video are the band instruments like the guitar, bass, mic and drum kit. I will only need these props for my video as it is all performace with representations and there will be no narrative just a pure performance.
Lighting:
When recording in the dark room i will have pure darkness everywhere (or as close to that as i can get) to represent the depression i spoke about earlier in the post with only lights shining on the band while they are performing just so you are able to see the performance and when recording outside i am going to use natural sunlight as it will give a more nature/real feel to the shots rather than artificial light that will be used in the dark room to represent naturally being yourself like the natural outdoor light.
