Goodwin's Points

1. Genre Conventions. The Genre of The Hush Sound is Indie/Alternative Rock. Our music video will folllow these conventions as the video follows the girl going about her daily life & favourite places from home, to the bus stop, on the bus, at the music shop & supermarket, this is conventional of the indie genre. It will also follow these conventions with a performance and a different/Alternative performance being in a supermarket. An example of an indie band whos video follows them through out their could be TheView - Same Jeans as it follows him from his bed to his bands Gig. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UQzW2aKjoRo
   
2. Lyrics & Visuals. We could link our lyrics into a couple of places through out the video, for example for the lyrics 'we will not let time erase us' we came up with the idea of a shot of a clock but the hands are moving fast indicating that time is going quickly. We also thought that for 'A dark congregation of familar faces' would be good for when shes waiting at the bus stop as she'd recognise whoever was waiting from waiting there with them everyday. When we cut the singing into the video it should be in sync when we finish it.
   
3. Music & Visuals. We will have the relevant instruments to the song in our video. We plan to have a band, hopefully performing in somewhere different like tesco as it is altrernative & to use a piano in a music shop. We make the band & piano playing in sync when we cut it into our video.
   
4. Demands of the Record Label. We can't really promote the real band as we do not have them & we can't link our video to any of the hush sound's as they don't have any.
   
5. Voyeurism. The idea of voyeurism could be relevant when she is in her own little bubble and everything seems great.. as this is what she's feeling and what you wouldn't usually know about her.
   
6. Intertextuality. We could link The Hush Sound's existing albums into our video through a poster or CD at the supermarket, But when we're at the Supermarket we want to be filming down the frozen food isle as the lyrics to the song are quite cold with lyrics like 'Soft snow', 'Our breath rose in the cold' & 'Our lips were cold as clay', So the only way we could sneak the CD in would be a shopper walking by with it in their basket.
