Elements of our music Video

Yesterday we started storyboarding our music video. We have a few elements going on at the same time which we've put on the mood board also, and i put this up as soon as i can. On the board we've written the lyrics, a brief profile of the band members and pictures of styles we wish to add into our video. The title of our song is moths Wings, so the moth will be our motif of the video. They will be animated to fly across the screen and bring colour to the video.

These are the lyrics:

Passion Pit- Moths Wings

Dear friend as you know

Your flowers are withering

Your mother's gone missing

Your leaves have drifted away

But the clouds are clearing up

And I've come reveling

Burning incandescently

Like a bastard on the burning sea

Chorus

You're drifting like a fire

Buried deep beneath the water

Your resting on your laurels

Is stepping on my toes

Whose side are you on?

What side is this anyway?

Put down your sword and crown

Come lay with me on the ground

You come beating like moth's wings

Spastic and violently

Whipping me into a storm

Shaking me down to the core

But you run away from me

And you left me shimmering

Like diamond wedding rings

Spinning dizzily down on the floor

Chorus

Our intertexual reference is to the video by Justice- DANCE.

We would like to start our video by projecting an film onto a t-shirt and go into the video from there.

Instead of having someone lip synch directly to camera we're thinking of filming a silhouette so its less cheesy. This video is going to be The Crimson Cuecumber's 3rd song release so its ok to not show their faces because the public will already know the bands identity.

We'd like to have a pop- up style city at the start to go along with the long intro in the song. it also sets the mood and can show people and places about the town.

The umbrella will be the transition between our pop up city and real life. As the umbrella spins, moths will fly off and reveal the start of the video.
