Initial Idea-Somewhere Between the Tide & I

The title of this song "Somewhere Between the Tide& I" inspired us the most with the setting as it will be set on a beach where we will film the tide coming in and coming out representing the narrative we have structured:


The narrative is based around a girl and boy at a beach and the girl falls asleep and goes into a dream where she is at the bands gig that her and the boy were at earlier. She will be in the middle of the crowd looking lost at the performance looking for the boy who has purposely left her on her own. it will flash quickly to her being in the room empty then filled with a crowd and the band performing a few times.
for the performance, we want it set on the beach as it links with our idea of water and the tide.
The lyrics "He calls your name, the one you dream of,
                  he calls your name, your falling deeper"
gave us this idea of her falling deeper in this dream she is in where the boy she is inlove with turns into a chaotic nightmare where the boy shows his true colours and when he becomes aggressive towards it will cut to photos of the tide being aggressive and obviously the band performing at different shots.
We noticed that at the beginning of the song the music reminds us of water and the beach meaning that water is going to be key in this video, for instance maybe the sight of water takes the girl back to sometime or reminds her of something, the key moment when the video changes into a hyper-real state?


To introduce the band at the end we really liked the idea of having the bands name written in the sand as it promotes the band. It also reminded us of a specific TV opening sequence from "90210". if you watch the short clip below, you will see in what we are going to try to attempt. this also links into the title of "somewhere between the tide and i" where the tide is going out and reveals the bands name. we thought this could be an effective ending to the music video.

We did originally have two main ideas for this song which you can read below :

1. There will be a girl in the studio lying on chairs which will be done by the green screen so the girl looks like she is floating which is a common dream.  
As the song begins to build there will be quick cuts to the band before a performance and as the drummer and more guitars come in the shoot will go quickly to the band performing.


2. A girl will be on the train home and fall asleep bringing her back to the gig, however the dream will become deeper (inception) putting a dream in a dream as she wakes up in the train however there is the boy she loves however from this she sees his true colours.


Both of these ideas will rewind all the way back to the start and the closing shot will once again be the band setting up to perform like the dream never happened.
