Idea Update - Performance Footage

So we have a new idea to try and incorporate performance footage into our own music video after seeing the benefit it had on past A2 coursework videos. The idea is to have the two members of Daft Punk set up in a room to film with two keyboards and a laptop. We plan to film in the afternoon at Tom's house to get all the performance footage we need. This is going to be added into our video in different sections in a hope it will make the video more interesting and so the encounters don't drag on. 

The idea is to have our two members dress up in a suit wearing a bike helmet in an idea to try and replicate the outfit worn by Daft Punk. First we have the challenge of locating the costume, we are going to use suits provided by Tom and Andy as well as borrowing two bike helmets. Then we will have to set up lighting and the set. Our idea was to have a large table with a black out cloth over it with the keyboards back to back. The idea is to set up the laptop on the end and have it play footage from our music video on a loop. We are going to set up wires around the keyboards and will experiment with wires coming out of the back of the helmets. The idea around the performance is to link it into the narrative with a contrast of lighter and darker scenes. As most of our video so far is a quite bright we decided to add a more serious dark tone with the performance footage.
