Beatophone: Development x2

After pitching our previous idea and receiving some feedback we decided to modified our idea into something rather quite new, more interesting and fun to shoot.

Narrative: Overview

-Mad scientist travels forward in time

-Starts off in 1920s and finishes in modern day.

Narrative: How?

Our main narrative scene will be set in a shipping container. It will involve a mad scientist sets in 1920s working in a laboratory inside the shipping container, entering some random codings onto an old school computer. Throughout the music video we will see him entering codes into the computer up until 2:18 where the song enters the bridge. This part he had already pressed a button which transports the whole story into the future. While this whole process is happening, the mad scientist will also be the one who is lip-syncing the song, adding another element to our idea.

Performance: Overview
-2 dance elements: One set in 1920s and one set in 2016.
-Small orchestra set in 1920s and modern band set in 2016.

Performance: How?

We will start off with a jazz club sets in 1920s with a small jazz band/orchestra with people playing clarinets, saxophone, violin and piano in the background. In front of this band will be 3 dancers (preferably male) wearing 1920s style suits or tuxedo with bow ties, dancing along with the song. This continues throughout the song until the mad scientist presses the button, at 2:18, which transports these bands into the modern day. We will show this by having the dancers, after being transported into the future, wear more modern clothes as well as dancing kinda robotic style.

How can we distinguish the past and present to the audience?
We were planning on using black and white effect for the 1920s time frame which will transform into colourful as soon as the scientist pressed the button.
