Our music video is for the song 'Hourglass' by Catfish and The Bottlemen. We were inspired by the lyric in the song "Craving your calls like a soldiers wife" we develeoped this idea and created our own version of a couple during the war. After researching locations and watching various music videos as a group we believed that to make our video unique from many others basing it in the 1940's would edge away from the generic love stories that most music videos feature. We wanted the narrative to give off a cinematic feel to really engage the audience and evoke emotion from them as I believe the song alone evokes a lot of emotion therefore accompanied with the music video would bring something innovative and different to the indie rock music industry. We are pushing the boundary by creating a video looking at the song from a different slant than Catfish and the Bottlemen may do themselves.
During the video the couple are going to be seen doing romantic things such as, going to fairgrounds, museums and the cinema. After the male actor proposes to the female they get forced apart as the male actor has to go away to the war. while they try to remain in contact through letters it appears that there is a strain within their relationship. Later in the video the male is reported killed in action which is seen as the woman opens the letter as she dresses for his funeral revealing flashbacks of their time together.
