How you got ideas and developed them into the video: Watching music videos relating to psychedelic rock and taking specific elements and incorporated them into our work, and gave it a unique twist.
Themes, Costumes, Props, and locations: The main theme of our work, is the Psychedelic elements of the song and it's artist, we made this apparent through editing and choice of costumes.
Inspirational videos, artists etc: The videos that inspired us were the Jimi Hendrix video to his song Crosstown Traffic, Stevie Ray Vaughan's Cold Shot and The Rolling Stones Jumpin' Jack Flash videos. The main artist that inspired was the singer of our song choice Jimi Hendrix because of his image at the time, but also in the Jumpin' Jack Flash video, the style the group has and the performance elements, and Stevie Ray Vaughan's where it is mostly him with his guitar and an actor rather than with his whole band (they do appear sporadically).
How the group made its decisions (and who contributed): After individual work on the blog we came together and discussed ideas on the video together, eventually we came up with the idea of a dual narrative and performance video, with David as the artist of the song performing the song in a mainly natural environment, because the whole hippie psychedelic movement was into that kind of thing, with the narrative acted out by the rest of us in Manchester. The narrative part fell through but the performance part was retained.
Explain how you changed ideas: We realised that the lyrics of the song were too indecipherable for us to act them out, because they were heavily metaphoric and the narrative was confusing us because it was not in chronological order. Also psychedelic videos don't tend to follow a narrative and are more more art and performance.
