Style/costumes

I like the darker, murkier style Of this era of music. mixed with more common outfits and a run down location.

Colour Palette

The colour Palette I will go with will reflect the era that my music videos clips are from. This is why I am choosing to go with black and white.

The era of music is during multiple wars.

Main ideas/order

Use montages of war footage/old cultural moments

Create my old war footage (in trenches not fighting)

3. Use great grandfathers photos

4. Use miniatures (war shots)

Locations:

Since Singapore was very prevelant during The great wars, it has multiple public Barricks and overgrown areas which I can film war accurate shot in

Gillman Barracks – Former British military barracks, now an arts cluster. Still has the colonial architecture and parade ground feel.
Tanglin Barracks – Once HQ of the British Far East Command, later SAF use. Colonial-era buildings, now part of the Dempsey Hill area.
Selarang Barracks – Historic WWII site in Changi, still an SAF base (access limited, but notable history).
Kitchener Barracks – Near Gillman, colonial-era military buildings, some repurposed.
Pasir Panjang Barracks – Built in the 1930s, close to Labrador and Kent Ridge; some remnants of structures remain.

Other ideas for locations would be areas near docks for shots of soldiers leaving for war.

For miniature shots, I need placeholder photos and backdrops which I will film in more rural reservoirs in Singapore.

Inspirations:

My first inspiration, Listen to your love, is a great influence on my ideas for the music video. Fast montage cuts, bringing the song back to older times.

For the shots of the band performing, I am inspired by the latter shots in the strokes; someday. More raw locations - showing the band more laid back and jamming.

More montage inspiration comes from time for heroes by The Libertines - Shows the two band members having fun and exploring.

Since I’m doing montage shots of war, I am able to be quite diverse with my casting. This means I’ll get a few friends (doesnt matter what race/age/look). This also would help present the cultural unity that often is brought up during war.
