Idea for coursework

Me, Charlie, Luke and Dan have thought of a few ideas for A2 coursework. At first we thought of doing a short film with a big battle set in medieval times, to then cut at the end to children playing in a playground. We took this idea from mine and Charlie's preliminary task, which we made for our AS Media coursework (video below).

We are now thinking of doing a music video to Barbarian by The Darkness (again, video below). We are still thinking a medieval battle of some sorts, with the ending 30 seconds being shots of kids playing the scene with stationary instead of the battle, symbolizing the battle to all be fake and their imagination. Then ending shot will be of the headmaster turning away with a sword or something that was obviously in the battle behind his back.

All of this is not at all planned but will be in the future. We are also hoping that The Darkness themselves will be able to appear in the music video, maybe one of them taking the role of the headmaster at the end. We think this would add a really nice twist to the "story" of the video. We have contacted The Darkness to try and arrange this. We also are going to try and get in contact with the narrator at the start of the song, to also have him cameo in the video.

We still need to contact a few more people to really get moving with this idea. Hopefully this idea can let us be creative with our camera techniques, and use styles of film directors like Edgar Wright (whom we have been researching), and Spike Jonze.
 
This is the actual music video by The Darkness:
 

This is mine and Charlie's AS preliminary task - the video that sparked the idea:
