Footage

With regards to the footage that I am planning to use, I am thinking of mixing a narrative story with close up instrumentals and hard hitting shots of newspaper headlines hitting a desk or shots cut together of riots and marches. The sound will nearly all be non-diegetic although I'm considering pausing the music to allow the sound of newspapers hitting the desk to play, through amplifying this sound it would hopefully create a very 'in your face' and hard hitting feel. Whether I do this or not depends on how well the footage fits the timings of the song. With the use of nearly no diegetic sound I don't have to worry about any background noise while I am filming as I can just mute it and play the music over the top, this makes filming much easier. However having no dialogue makes it more difficult to tell a story, with the meaning behind events having to be conveyed by the character's body language and facial expressions, it means actors will more than likely have to have some experience and the mise en scene will play an important role in the video to help construct an atmosphere in each scene.
