Main storyline

To start with we needed to sit down and condense all of our ideas in to a workable story one that is appropriate for the band and related to the song and one that is achievable not only in the time allocated to recording but one that would fit in to a four minute song.

After a long discussion this is what our group came up with

• The Storyline starts with production of MK Ultra drug – so we will use short clips showing small segments of the production
• Then shown being put into a syringe
• Test of drug on a patient being monitored by the businessmen – we will use the businessman as a key linkage between the two parts of the story
• Businessmen leave facility gets in car and drives off
• Child in middle of road with balloon with a small sign saying “you cannot control us” – we will use the child as a reason for the man to stop the car the child will also be dressed in the same clothing as the mob so it will be wearing a white mask.
• Car stops
• Man gets out to see the child
• See sign picks sign up and reads it
• Mob attack – throughout the video we will be flashing up small clips of the mob to show that they have been organising this attack, it will also link to why the band are wearing masks
• Man is caught in middle of mob
• Flair goes off
• Man is seen being taken away
• The camera flashes between scenes of the mob and band playing.
• Finishes with the Mob.
