Red version demonstrates how it might look on coloured backgrounds, also has curves on the L and J. Wasn't sure which looked better.]]> 2021-03-10 15:34:50 UTC https://padlet.com/stevenbennison00/MV/wish/1293485170 Song "Can't Be Said (The Paradox of Choice)" - my suggestions 1906385 https://padlet.com/stevenbennison00/MV/wish/1293686267 I personally think that Can't Be Said (The Paradox of Choice) is the strongest song of theirs. It is probably the least monotonic and I can personally imagine a more energetic video for it than for any other songs of the album. 
Other songs for me just sound like Radiohead wannabe and not very memorable.

My attempt to write down the lyrics for this song lol :

It was there
It was always on your mind
Couldn't share
build
Now you know (?)
Don't get stuck somewhere between
memory stirs the last blur (?)
And I realise you are new/mood (?)

Lets consider now our paths and what could be (?)
…. good from great well that makes things easy
When I look at you now all  I see is me
But your words keep spinning around my head they cant come out …?

Whats the fix
the cycle you cannot hide
stick a twist
do u reveal whats not inside
….. father to the man(?)
counter fit (?)
so much easier to pretend

Lets consider now our paths and what could be (?)
…. good from great well that makes things easy
When I look at you now all  I see is me
But your words keep spinning around my head they cant come out …?

x4
im so sorry
I couldn't share
don't look inside
cuz im not there
this isn't me that persons left
oh let it be and just forget

Analysis:

From my understanding the song is about inner struggle, not being the person you'd like to be maybe. 

The name includes phrase "The paradox of choice" which is an often term in business, meaning that when there's too much choice it limits your ability to choose. Too much choice overwhelms. 

Idea:

A video about a person who feels like he has to chose his personality, which leads to too much choice, since he is uncertain on his own personality, struggles to find himself. The main character could impersonate people he knows, famous (real and fictional) people, change according to his emotions or something entirely different. He doesn't fit in.(?)

This idea would go with the name "paradox of choice" and lyrics "When I look at you
now all I see is me" 
and
"don't look inside
cuz I'm not there
this isn't me that persons left"

Inspirations:
Concorde - Sons
Chelou - Halfway to Nowhere
Type O Negative - I Don't Wanna Be Me (this one's not an animation, but has similar idea)

Overall aim:

Since we have to stand out from 8 different teams, I suggest primarily focusing on the emotional impact it leaves on the person. 
I suggest this since from my prior research emotional marketing is the most successful (and by marketing I mean not just adverts but music videos are also tools for marketing the music of the band)

To simplify what I've read
video that gives happy feeling or is funny -> more shares
video that is more emotional or sad -> more views

students who are not as confident in illustrating / animating etc.

Key themes: Aubrey Beardsley, Black and White, Art Nouveau]]> 2021-03-14 14:21:10 UTC https://padlet.com/stevenbennison00/MV/wish/1307313009 belong - sketch andriananazou23 https://padlet.com/stevenbennison00/MV/wish/1307549386 2021-03-14 16:15:51 UTC https://padlet.com/stevenbennison00/MV/wish/1307549386 Since I cant connect to Teams and I can't hear anything... 1906385 https://padlet.com/stevenbennison00/MV/wish/1307550966 ...I'll write down my idea here to share, if that's ok.

I haven't finished my storyboard but i can still show it. Just maybe to tell the vibe id like to give idk.

Story:
Person in an empty space full of mirrors, reflections at first seem normal, and they do whatever the person does, but he loses control of them and they start showing different sides of him as a person. It overwhelms him and he breaks them, but then glues the different pieces on himself.

He was too overwhelmed by different reflections of himself, so instead he decided to reflect everyone else.

He's upset about his own reflection and he'd rather hide his identity than face it??

2: Brain/Mind. Slide downward to a face. Tape covering mouth. Text on tape? Transition back into eye? Out from eye?
3: Falling person, fall off screen? transition upward?
4: Image of face, slightly blurred, image ripples and distorts into second character. (Character one feminine, character two masculine? Other way around? Both the same?)
5 + 6: [Uncertain] Image of a card (Jack/King/Queen), two people one up one down. transition into the card -> next shot. Coin? Road? Text on road?
5+6: [New idea] Two characters back to back. One up one down, rotate into card idea, transition into next shot?
7: Mirrors, reflections. Hall of mirrors. Dividing the shot up into sections, separate images running across. character two reflected as character 1?
8: Falling, Cycle, Spiral, Hurricane. Several images of one character falling, rotating in a spiral or hurricane?
9: [Uncertain] Tape? Stitches? Mouth? Something coming out?

Lines 5 to 9 are chorus. Can have first chorus having two characters with distinct identities. Second chorus can one character sharing similar traits of both characters (The two becoming one? One becoming another? Losing sense of identity)

10: Addiction? Loop, cycle. Day/night cycle? Window? Days passing by? Dark circles around the eyes.
11:[Uncertain] Transition characters into each other? Making a decision?
12:"Child, Father" line. One character overlooking another? Inheriting the traits of the other? "like father like son" but applying to the characters
13: Floating masks? Faces of the characters
14: Looking inside a box, seeing nothing there. Alternatively, box could be a coffin or something? 

Last two lines continue for about 1m 30s. Some long image based sequence?

If I missed anything or want to add something then comment it below and I'll add it. Going to make a quick storyboard with these ideas for tomorrow then we can specify what we want. If you have any specific ideas in your head then draw them out to show for tomorrow.]]> 2021-03-14 17:39:44 UTC https://padlet.com/stevenbennison00/MV/wish/1307718646 Storyboard stevenbennison00 https://padlet.com/stevenbennison00/MV/wish/1315296086 I'll go over this in our meeting]]> 2021-03-16 12:42:05 UTC https://padlet.com/stevenbennison00/MV/wish/1315296086 andriananazou23 https://padlet.com/stevenbennison00/MV/wish/1315337517 "Let’s consider now our paths and what could be

Feel free to interpret/change the images in whatever way you feel is best.

1: face 1
2: brain 
3: face with tape
4: person falling, waves
5: (nothing)
6: (nothing)
7: face 2
8: character 1 and two (back to back) (probably make as two separate images)
9: card design (see ideas posts)
10: Road/path splitting, signposts
11: character 1 + character 2 (how you interpret this is up to you, can have the character move forward through a hall or going sideways or falling, however you think is best) (This one doesn't actually need a lot of illustration, mostly animation based).
12: characters falling
13: Stitched mouth (make mouth and stitches as separate images).
14: face two, tired eyes, dark circles, etc.
15: characters one and two, 1 larger than two (looming over/looking down on/wrapped around/hugging? interpret how you want, can refer to the text based storyboard or the lyrics)
16: faces 1 and 2 but as masks (porcelain/masquerade/other masks?)
17: a coffin or door or gate? (refer to lyrics)
18: person 2 from behind? (depends on how you interpret previous frame)


19: last 1m 30s sequence we'll make after this first part as the lyrics are less clear and this part may be more visual or me way interpret it in a different way.
