Deciding Between The Two Ideas..

Idea 1.

After listening to the song several times and imagining the kind of video I would like to watch to it. I saw parents fighting at the beginning of the song (before the lyrics) and then the dad leaves and you see the young child run after him and then he drives off. For the remainder of the song, you see the young child wearing his dads shirts and shoes and doing jobs his father would have done. In the end, the dad comes through and it'll be in slow motion to match with the lyrics of the song 'Come Back Home'. However, there will be images in the video that suggest that the father won't come back but the boy just wants him too.

Idea 2.

In the start leading up to the introduction of lyrics, there would be a couple arguing and she would throw out clothes of her bf and then drive off. Leaving him looking silly with lots of clothes. He then tries to ring her and the camera splits into two following them on their way. Use of photo albums and props will relate to parts of the song or link the two camera shots together. In the end they come back together.

Decision.

Currently, there are a lot of music videos that have the idea of using a couple to demonstrate the aim of the song. This is probably because that relationships and love is the theme of most songs nowadays. As Two Door Cinema Club are a individual music band with their own style of music and original take on a 'band', their music video should be different from the norm too. So, in this instance, I believe that doing Idea2 would be the easier option that is similar to other popular music videos around. Whereas, Idea1 would be more emotional and would relate to a lot of people that have lost someone and wanted them to come back. Also, I don't think there is a video out there like it, so it would be easily identifyable with the band.
