For this project things will not be shot from weird perspectives. There will be a lot of slow pans of the performance areas. There will be close up angles of the owners working on pianos. We want to showcase the workshop and the jazz stage. The interviews will most likely be a medium shot from the waste up. The color won't be effected drastically. We want to showcase Merrimans Playhouse as accurately as possible. My inspiration is the Dan Mumford: Prints of Darkness.

This song is called Breezeblocks by Alt-J. This isn't the best song ever but I love the video for it. It is a nonlinear narrative. The camera doesn't move but there are a lot of actions taking place in the frame. The reason being a nonlinear story is that it starts at the end and plays out in reverse in slow-motion. There is a dark tone to the whole story. The narrative starts off with what looks like a husband killed his wife but as the story plays out it isn't what you think. About a minute and forty seconds in you realize that the wife was going after the husband and not the other way around. As the story progresses you get more and more hooked because you want to know what happens even though we know how it ends. Towards the end of the song it cuts back to the wife who was killed in self-defense rather than a cold blooded murder. The pacing is consistent and the rhythm was consistent throughout as well. All and all it’s a great video and I recommend watching it.
