Idea one:
Split screen one side shows a guy at home, the other side shows the guy going out. Two alternatives of one night. The first alternative shows the guy staying at home having a boring night in (eating pizza, watching films all alone). Whereas the second shows the man changing into an alter ego, (maybe putting on a mask) going out to make trouble and havoc in the town. There will be transitions with the band performing in a secluded building/area.
Idea two:
Band playing in an abandoned area: warehouse, house. Shot all in one with cut backs to a story. Abandoned area connoting rebellion relating vaguely to idea one. Close ups of band members and long and extreme long shots of the band performing.

Idea three:
Long takes following band members to each other's location and passing on the vocalist role or performing with each other as they introduce each band member. Follows members towards secluded place. Instruments won't be present until the performance. The band members use different means of transport, such as just running, biking etc.
Location Ideas
Warehouse for performance of Band - Exterior
Place to pretend to graffiti (for example of creating trouble) - Exterior
Messy living room for indoor people - Interior
Messy living room for indoor people - Interior
Interesting Ideas for Cinematography, Editing and Mise en scene
Mise-en-scene - Props for outdoor band members - e.g. Masks for "alter ego"
Props for indoor people - e.g. Pizza boxes, TV etc
Secluded settings for mysteriously enigmatic feeling (warehouse, alleyways)
Contrast in clothing; Lazy trackies to dark casual but formal clothing
Different modes of transport (bicycles, skateboard etc)
Mixes of Interior and Exterior
Instruments for outside band members (guitar, microphone etc)
Instruments for inside people (inflatable guitar, toy microphone, CD player etc)
Cinematography - Jump shots (during performance)
Long takes/Master shots (as the band members walk to each other's location)
Tracking/Dolly shots - possibly (used on band members during long takes)
Hand-held shots (used for performance)
Close-ups (during performance/possibly during long takes)
Mid-shots (during performance/during long takes)
Editing - Split-screen - at different points (to show two alternative sides of the same character(s))
Quick cuts (to use with the jump shots)
Slow motion transition - possibly (used on band members during long takes/used for performance)
Parallel editing (shots cutting from people going out to people inside)
Continuity editing (during long takes)
Montage editing (during performance)
Match-on-action (for continuity)

Similar ideas to our use of editing
Uses idea of going out and creating trouble, ours will use a similar idea but less light hearted.
