Pre-evaluation... Quick summary.

So after weeks of racking my brains, here are the final main themes and ideas that are being put into filming...

First of all I am sticking with the idea of no voyeurism and the idea of personal growth, to achieve this I am portraying the band and the protagonist through one person, but never revealing the face to produce an enigma, which I have borrowed from the conventions of movies. I have coupled this with an inspiration I have drawn from Shigeru Miyamoto and Eiji Aonuma, the main people behind the Legend of Zelda game series.

In The Legend of Zelda, the main character, Link is named because of his connection between the audience and the game. Link is voiceless because he is intended to be an avatar for the audience. Following from this, I intend my protagonist and artist to be a "link" between the audience and the music.

Furthermore, the band consists of three members, dressed in red, blue and green. In the zelda universe, there is a sacred relic called the Triforce. One of each of the triangles grant power, wisdom and courage respectively and are related to the Goddesses and their respective colours Din (Red) , Nayru (Blue) and Farore (Green). When all three are united it is considered the ultimate power within the series.

The protagonist is portrayed wearing each of these colours throughout the video. Through this I am trying to symbolise how the protagonist is achieving personal growth. This all ties into the idea of gaining greatness and "The Geeks Will Inherit the Earth". Also the "power" persona can be considered most significant of the band with the guitar while the "wisdom" and "courage" persona are less significant and the most significant character, the singer, is shown with no obvious colour.
