We have revised the idea for our video again as the idea for combining national and local wars through the images of gang violence. It was too difficult to combine the two concepts and make it clear what we were doing. Our new video treatment is very similar to our original one, we're going to stick with war on a national scale, having stock footage from WW1, WW2 and Afghanistan combined with the band performing and some narrative about the life of a soldier.
The narrative shown is not particularly in-depth, it simply shows an ex-soldier dealing with life back at home. We want to have images of him throwing down his army coat and leaving the house to go for a walk, giving the impression he is 'clearing his head', displaying how much being in war can effect a person.
The band will no longer be in a plain room, but outside in an open, natural space, as in another convention of the Folk genre.
