Music Video Influences

One of the main influences for ideas and designs was that of the "All american rejects" hit single "move along" which featured fast cutaway editing of the lead vocalist Tyson Ritter singing stationary while each few frames begins alternating clothes. This was the main idea that sparked to our music video due to its connection to the lyrics "living my life in second hand clothes, which implies he only ever wears second hand clothes. To incorporate build on this pattern the band used we inserted the idea of alternating clothes in existing ideas for scenes except reacting the scene 2-4 times in different costumes then cutting them together such as the jump scene. Next we thought how clothes can define the image of a character so for lyrics involving specific character traits i.e. "too rich" "too poor" we dressed in both shoddy scruffy clothing with other poor associated props or dressed smart and pristine. And finally lead to the concept of money and its struggles which became one of the narratives angles to develop around.
