Having discussed various interpretations of the lyrics and their potential transitions to the video we have come up with some ideas for shots in our video:-
- For the chorus (It's Friday night tonight, the weekend passes by. Monday's coming soon, well it's another working week for you) we had the key character sit in his chair in real-time while his family members or friends walking past in a 'fast forward' state. The idea is that the we infer his dreading of the impending week to come and his isolation; this also contrasts to another of the lyrics (Whatever happened to that smile of mine...), referring to how he used to be happy, but now is trapped in a mundane, unfulfilled lifestyle.
- When examining other lyrics (I've been living with my eyes wide shut)we thought that we could shoot a sequence in which the character is walking towards the camera saying the lyrics, but we shoot the key character doing this walking down multiple corridors, so when come to edit it, it will still look like he is walking towards the camera, but edited in a way in which we can see the different corridors as he walks. The concept we are trying to portray is that no matter what walk of life or avenue of study our character chooses he never fully engages in it and lets it pass by.
