Well happy new year to begin the post, just a quick note to update the goings-on within the group...

Ok, so with Willoughby, Lewis and myself all in unanimous agreement that the the project isn't progressing as quick as we anticipated. To combat this we've decided to get in contact with the artist of the song (Agnostic Clown), and are exploring our options of the possibility of if we can involve him in the project in any capacity.

With the video itself, we've duly decided to stick with the idea of juxtaposition, we're to create this through the use of employing dark, dreary lighting and creating a depressing atmosphere, but use connotations of the seaside, and activities you'd associate with happy people. Our protagonist will undergo activities such as miniature golf and amusement arcade. We felt that through employing this tactic, we emphasise the loneliness of the protagonist.

This will follow the introduction we've decided on. This will include the protagonist with 2 sets of fish and chips at the sea front (connotations of the seaside), whilst checking his watch on a few occasions, this immediately displays to the viewer that he's waiting for someone. It will also enhance the narrative flow of the video.

Hopefully in my next update we will have made further progress, and the project will be heading in the right lines.
