We thought we might want to main singer to be the main character in our narrative as well, with him waking up in a bed, confused and dishevelled but he then becomes claustrophobic, fighting the space around him and being agressive to the camera. He would be in a small room (similar to a prison cell) with minimal props and distractions, instead focusing on his inner termoil at being trapped in a small space.
However, after thinking this through, we decided the narrative wasn't strong enough and went back to the drawing board for ideas. Sam came up with the idea of a girl and a boy bumping into each other (after we see graphic matches of their stories) and they are both quite cocky and self assured. The guy is trying to get her attention, and then jumps on a car and the guy holds out his hand as the lyrics say 'come get me' and then as the song slows there is contemplation on the girls behalf as to whether or not she should join him. She then runs past him and ignores his flirting. He would then follow her and the girl starts singing some of the lyrics to him instead, such as 'I got no time to love' which would invert the gender steretype in indie videos. We then also thought about them becoming separated towards the end following the lyric 'heaven may call but I won't be there' and the guy could potentially be left on his own at the end. This narrative would be intercut with the band as they are still a strong aspect of the video.
For the look/style of the band we thought it would be best to try and get them away from the indie look and try to make them appear more fresh, sharp and fashion forward instead of the relaxed more casual which is more popular among indie bands. We want them wearing suits (not necessarily with the jacket) with skinny ties and for them to be quite tight fitting. For the girl and guy in the narrative, we want them to look more indie and less put together than the band.
