Survey Results
My surveys failed to bring in much useful information, so I will have to apply my own knowledge of film and absurdity.

Record of Information
This post will act as my permanent collection of important information from now on.
My most important framing technique will be using the edges of the frame for effect, cutting important elements in and out as the tone of the music calls for it. Another important technique is the speed of the video, and a fluctuating speed can add a surreal tone to proceedings-I will therefore film at 120fps for the vast majority of my work.
Other important techniques include focusing on the main character and not hanging too long long on any one scene.
I (or someone helping me) will perform every instrument live as long as that is possible. I have friends that perform a variety of instruments, I should be perfectly capable of achieving this goal if things go to plan.
My current plan is to perform the guitar myself as part of my secondary learning objectives-this could change, but I hope it won't.
Provocative scenes I could use (obviously all faked if they include depicted illegal actions, the video is designed to make a point on the irresponsibility of society, and drugs are a good example of that, for instance) are:
Climbing onto a "private" building's roof
Drinking (faked with Coke, obviously)
Stepping out of a hot/mistbox
Nutella being spread on "protagonist"'s face
Slow motion leap into water fully clothed
Slow motion cutting into leaving train
Face down on floor covered in weird objects like TP
Slow motion football (derivatives)
Knocking books off bookshelves
Netflix
Crying over spilt milk
Shoveling face, from someone else's hand
The recordings will begin this week (31st of Oct, 1st of Nov)

Milestone
Today I finished the first stage of my prep-I have decided on the lyrics and chord progression. The chord progression is I IV V IV, the chorus chords are II III IV V. The lyrics are no longer based on love, instead they are a political statement inspired by the events in Oregon yesterday.
Lyrics Below:
Danger is danger
A gun and a flower
No soul but seduction
Of a murderous power
A son and a daughter
Like lambs to their slaughter
A nation of idiots
Stand by and they watch
*Chorus*
Is that what you wish
For a world that you live in
Your lives come after
My freedom to kill
Another brutal murder
He says we are the same
I looked him in the eyes
He says he's not to blame
A son and a daughter
God Bless America
Oh mental health Oh lack of wealth
I wish he hadn't shot himself
Bridge-4 beats of tapping
Is that what you wish
For a world that you live in
Your lives come after
My freedom to kill
Is that what you wish
For a world that you live in
Your lives come after
My freedom to kill
Your lives are less important
Than my freedom to kill
It's important to start recording as soon as possible.
