Poet

For my mini music video (which I think is actually going to be a full-length music video), I have decided to use Bastille's song "Poet", and have came up with a somewhat creepy idea for a music video.

Poet is quite possibly my favourite Bastille song. I love the upbeat tempo and fast bass notes, as well as the exquisite harmonising by lead singer Dan. This song, for some strange reason, is not on the band's debut album and is in fact a B-Side to their single "Pompeii".

When listening to this song, no matter how uplifting the melody might be, I get the feeling of something quite sinister, especially with the repetition of the word "obsession". I can imagine the lead singer being so in love with someone that it becomes borderline obsession, and hope to convey that in my video.

So, my initial idea is to incorporate a stalker character into the video, as well as focusing on the obvious tones of love from the lyrics. I'm unsure how I'm going to do this, and am going to experiment with a few different ideas before constructing a storyboard.
