This is probally better than my other concepts. Well, to me at least. I don't know how others will take it. But it seems to fit this song nicely. Here we go. A girl in her room atop her bed, she looks out the window. The girl then gets up and walks over to the window, on it there is frost On the frost draws a shape, the shape being the Linkin Park emblem. The camera zooms in on the window and then out of it, where there is a snowy canvas The camera pans across the canvas and into the yard where there rest a memorial stone On the memorial stone is inscribed "In our hearts, you remain everything" The scene then goes to a war scene, people are shooting at each other, its non sense, people are running behind buildings and shooting at basically what ever they can, there is fog so thick that no one can see. The camera zooms onto a solider and on his army jacket is the Linkin park emblem. Then the camera pans to a man with a sniper riffle, he is hiding behind a white rock, the man raises the riffle and shoots the soldier in the head. The soldier falls backwards, his arms flailing into the air, his eyes roll to the back of his head. (All of this in slow motion) Then the scene is where the girl is again, she continues to look out the window as the snow falls and piles up. Her eyes begin to water and then we see a scene that is her memory. The screen goes black like a blink and is blurry at first then clears up. There are many people surrounded by trees and fallen oak leaves They are all standing up, making a circle around a tomb stone The preacher is just finishing up a speech and the band takes the stage That is behind the people, the stage is covered with oak leaves The scene goes back to the girl; she is lying on her bed now, staring up into the ceiling She closes her eyes. The scene goes to a hospital There are cards scattered every where, one says "Please, John don’t give up" The hospital is empty except for the girl she is holding onto the soldiers hand The solider is in a coma as you can tell by all the wires hooked up, The girl grasps his hands tightly and then the flat lines go off Just before a doctor walks into the room she kisses his hand And when the doctor opens the door she runs out, tears in her eyes The scene is back to the girl in her room, she goes out of her room and walks down the stairs and into the living room In the living room is her mom, her mom is watching television and on it there are home videos of the solider and his family. The girl sits on the couch and watches the videos with her mom, when the video is over her room embraces her in a gentle hug. The scene goes back to out side, the setting sun is shining on the memorial and on the white surface of the snow. The scene fades out. And then goes back to black. the final line of the song plays in the blackness. "And the sun will set for you"
hmmm...i'm picturing it, and i like it. the whole snow setting is cool. my only question is, has this sort of thing been done before?
This is awesome! There's just one thing i would like to say i think would make it even more cooler: Add Members of the band at certain scenes, like when the war is going on you could have Brad strumming or Rob playing, and then like at the end part where they're in the hospital it could be Brad doing his solo, or Chester singing "and the shadow of the day..." to the camera behind the hospital bed or something and as the guy dies "And the sun will set for you...". Your idea is awesome though! I love it! Would the entire thing be in slow mo though? i really wouldn't mind that.
I'm actually picturing a sunset with LP performing the song. I guess it's just from the visual concept I got from the single artwork.
Good idea, all around, though instead of having the members in the music video just being the band, have them as actual characters in the scenes. You know, like Rob could actually be the doctor who walks in, Joe could be at the funeral, etc. Just put them as actual parts of the story. Personally, I always envisioned the last verse as similar to what you have, though I never thought to have it as a soldier. The idea would work regardless of the occupation of the person dying, but only quite works as a sort of bitter love story. Good job.
