My initial ideas for the song "send me on my way" by Rusted Roots" was to have a figure continually moving in the same direction at different locations, with different shot types and angles to add plenty of visual stimulation for the audience.
The figure will be moving in the same general direction coming from the left hand dside of the camera to the right hand side to show that the figure is moving i the one direction from the start of the song, getting form point A to point B over the course of the song.

I have now changed my idea so that the song will have a better story, my new idea is to have a business type person who is very uptight, who is then knocked by a free spirited type person. The businessman then goes ape and sees his reflection in a mirror the reflection of himself is distorted and disfigured to represent him as a person behind the flesh.
The free spirited guy then hands the businessman a card saying "Breathe" on it (which is a reference to the message that John Lennon received from Yoko Ono)
Then as the song continues the businessman is traveling through the urban environment seeing the word "breathe" where ever he looks such as posters car number plates etc, and as he progresses he gradually removes some of his clothes (i was inspired for this idea by the Visa advert for the 2010 world cup)
The businessman then has a moment of self realization and as he walks past a lamp post and the location then changes and the figure emerges from behind a tree dresses in lose comfortable clothes. then the figure moves more freely through the rural environment and gradually puts on his old clothes as he is enjoying his new mentality and state but not changing who he is just how he lives his life.
