Tour visuals idea
One of my favourite pieces of video work is this intro for Lady Gaga's Coachella gig in 2017. It's this strange video that hypes the audience up before the concert and get's them excited for Gaga to perform. The video features a background track of this techno sci-fi beat, cut with images of Lady Gaga with a tentacle in her mouth, or staring into the camera with promo shots of her. The whole video seems like some kind of subliminal message, and it both creeps out the audience but also entices you for the performance of the singer.

This got me thinking about making some tour visuals for a concert as opposed to an actual music video. With tour visuals, they are usually edited in-time with the track of specific songs but don't follow the traditional beats and story of a regular music video. This allows for more creative freedom as I can pretty much create any kind of narrative or visual I want without having to worry about being very cohesive or clever with cinematography.
I still haven't decided on the songs I want to use yet but this video has inspired me to potentially use a more techno/electronic song as I think it will be quite fast and make for more interesting editing, but at the same time I like the idea of using songs from Hayley Williams recent album which has more of an alternative indie rock sound.
