Synopsis: After we came up with our ideas individually, my group and I got together to put all of our idea on the table. My group really liked my idea of a couple growing old together so we decided to go with that, of course the location was not possible to go ahead with, so as a group we thought perhaps we could use some sort of tree as a meeting point for the couple - perhaps with a calved in heart to represent their lengthy love, with the tree being a symbolism for something that is alive and growing. The visuals would relate to the lyrics that often refer to nature 'Kiss me, down by the broken tree house' 'Beside the green green grass'.We also agreed to shoot the band performing in the college studio with interesting spot lights and stage lights focusing on key areas and band members to make it more professional and so they would stand out from the black back ground. Filming in the studio would be a lot more practical for us and the band, we could also use the bigger, more professional cameras on the dolly's so we could track and pan easier and smoother.
We agreed costume would be dressed up but casual for the band and we also came up with the idea that one of the actors from the narrative would wear a certain piece of clothing (we thought perhaps the male was to wear a red top throughout the three stages of the narrative) which would help represent he is one person, because of course it would be hard to find three characters which could pass as the same person.

Treatment: 
One member of my group also came up with a brilliant editing idea for the narrative - we thought using a split screen (the right side concentrating on the female and the left on the male) we could also use the different sides of the screen to show the same scenario, but at different angles and different depths. For example, the right hand side has a close up of holding hands, whereas the left hand side perhaps a long shot of the couple holding hands..seeing the whole of their body. We would also follow my original idea regarding cinematography - making sure there are many close ups of intimate expressions or actions, making sure we apply the concept of voyeurism (looking) and making kissing a key element . Of course this means there would be a wide variety of shots and would keep the video interesting and unique..the inspiration for this idea came from 'Stromae's' video 'Alors on danse' - Snap shots of this video can be seen on the right hand side. To achieve our desired effect for the music video we would need to use final cut pro software on the Mac computers. Here we could easily log on what we filmed to edit and manipulate the shots until we're happy with what we created. We would also use a variety of cameras to film different angles of the performance and narrative, by using three cameras instead of one would speed up the process incredibly.
