Band of Horses - The Funeral, our chosen song!

I think we have all decided that Band of Horses - The Funeral is our chosen song for the video, it fits in well with our chosen genre of indie/rock, and all of the group enjoy the song. I think with the song we can do wonders with the visuals, in how they link with the lyrics in a narrative format. The group has a lot of ideas, and we are all giving our own perspective towards the video and how to film it, its exciting times for our group and we are enjoying the challenge of putting it together! Of course we will continue to develop ideas as we will need a lot to fill up the video.

Ideas so far:

Funeral

Burning cigarette

Men in smart tuxedos (adds to the funeral theme)

Church

Graveyard

Death

Emotionless faces of the people attending the funeral, make it eary and scary

Coffins

People looking into a coffin

Black and white theme running through out

Extreme close ups of the faces at the funeral, filmed very brightly though, shocks the audience!

Band of Horses - The Funeral lyrics:

I'm coming up only to hold you under
I'm coming up only to show you wrong
And to know you is hard and we wonder
To know you all wrong, we were

Really too late to call, so we wait for
Morning to wake you; it's all we got
To know me as hardly golden
Is to know me all wrong, they were

At every occasion I'll be ready for a funeral
At every occasion once more is called a funeral
Every occasion I'm ready for the funeral
At every occasion one brilliant day funeral

I'm coming up only to show you down for
I'm coming up only to show you wrong
To the outside, the dead leaves, they all blow (alive is very poetic)
For (before) they died had trees to hang their hope

At every occasion I'll be ready for the funeral
At every occasion once more is called the funeral
At every occasion I'm ready for the funeral
At every occasion one brilliant day funeral
