Final idea for music video

As a group, we felt like we were more strongly attatched to the song "Somewhere Between the Tide & I" as we had more ideas for it and we enjoy the song to. The final idea is one of our initial ideas for this music video except much more developed.


Setting of the music video: we decided that we would set the music video on a beach or the pier linking with the title "Somewhere Between the Tide & I" and the footage of the tide will link with the music when it slows down so will the tide and when the music gets more aggressive we will include footage of the tide being aggressive.


The song is a rock song therefore it will be more performance based however after having a close listen to the lyrics, we felt like we could make a narrative story out of it so we planned this out thoroughly with the help of the lyrics.


Narrative story we have in mind for this video:


Introduction:  girl and boy sitting at a beach and the girl drifts off into a dream where she suddenly appears at the bands gig that her and the boys she was with were at earlier. she will be in the middle of the crowd looking for the boy and then it will quickly flash to her being alone in the crowd then alone at the beach where they were just at.


Middle: as she walking along the beach panicking searching for the boy she will get signs in the sand saying which way to go, etc. (inspiraton alice in wonderland signs in the woods- image below):

also recieved inspiration from the lyrics in the song "you sell yourself short, everytime, these signs will guide you home." the signs will guide her back to reality and out of this dream slowly turning into a nightmare. the whole time the boy is watching the girl lost without him like it is funny joke. "He calls your name the one you dream of, he calls your name your falling deeper." at this point the boy will be behind her whispering the lyrics into her ears which would be an extreme close up of his lips lipsynching the lyrics by her ear. as she turns around he disappears. he is playing tricks with her.


End: She gives up as she begins to learn he is playing games with her and lays on the sand and closes her eyes tightly hoping it will wake her up. it does and when she opens them the boy who was playing tricks on her is holding her, they look into eachothers eyes and she realizes that it was a dream and he wasnt evil at all, it was her being selfconcious.

to show when the boy is evil he will be wearing darker clothing and makeup and when he isnt evil he will be wearing more lighter clothing- checkered top, jeans, converses, etc.

 Performance idea throughout:


we would preferably like most of the performance on the beach, guitarists standing in the sea (shin height) for the different angles and shots, drummer on the sand for different angles and shots then the whole band together on the beach for wide shots, etc.


we were also going to have live footage of them performing at a gig to.
Another way we thought we could promote the band which would also link with the the setting and theme of the music video is write the bands name in the sand as the music is fading and let the waves wash away the bands name however we want to edit it so the waves wash out and it presents the bands name. This inspiration came from the television programme "90210" (can be seen from the video below):
