Narrative
There are 4 members of the band who all have their own story as to why they are participating in the video, portrayed as a way for them to get their feelings out and express themselves.
Boy 1's role in this project is to participate as the bass play in the band during the performance segments of the music video. His backstory is that he is suffering from an illness, showing the audience that there is more to music videos than a broken heart. In fact, Little Black Submarines are also known as cancer cells, which relates to Jake's story well as well as the title of the song.
Boy 2's role in this music video is to play the drums during the live performance by the band. His backstory is that he is struggling to get through to someone on the phone, it is portrayed that it is urgent however it is left up to the audience to interpret who he may be trying to get in contact with.
Boy 3's role in our project is rhythm guitarist and lead singer, showing that he has probably the most common problem faced with society in his backstory; a problem with his girlfriend. It is left up to the audience what the problem may be, we have left 'breadcrumbs' to help the audience come to their decision.
Boy 4's role is to be the band's lead guitarist in their live performance. His backstory consists of a feud between his sister, but it is up to the audience to decide what the problem is, how it may relate to them. The feud develops and they argue, but make up in the end, although Joe's character does not look too pleased, portraying to the audience that sometimes sacrifices have to be made for family.

Ideas
Rather than focus on following the beat of he song, we had an idea to subvert the conventions of the genre and focus on matching the lyrics to the narrative.
