Narrative Vs Band Shots

We were wondering if there was a way for us to present a clear distinguish between shots that were story lines and our band shots so that we could contrast them as much as possible.

After looking at various music videos, we decided we most liked how it was done in the Bryan Adam's music video Summer of 69 as he split his music video into the past and present by using black and white for the past and colour for the present.

We thought that while we wanted to use black and white for narrative shots, we would focus more on colour when it came to the band shots in order to emphasise the difference.

As our colour scheme is bright, we thought that a similar idea would have been good for our music video so that it follows a theme.

The black and white, we feel, gives the narrative the look of being a memory of the artists which felt fitting to the lyrics.
