Bohemian Rhapsody

My third idea is one which I like but I think the song is too iconic and well known to do a music video to. The song Bohemian Rhapsody is by the world-famous band Queen and is a sad song about a man having to leave, perhaps ending his own life, after murdering someone.
The lyrics are the man telling his mother he's just murdered someone and now he's got to go and so I think it would be interesting to show the man's (singer's) life in flashbacks- just key moments- to illustrate that his life is flashing before his eyes. At the end we see the singer leave or commit suicide, however we choose to interpret the lyrics, so it's obvious that the rest of the video has been his life flashing before his eyes before he "leaves it all behind".
The concept would be hard to do because we'd have to find people who look the same but at different ages and we'd also have to recreate lots of scenarios or use footage we already have.
I have an image in my head of James Blunt's You're Beautiful video, where he's lining up all his possessions before falling into the freezing water in order to be with the "angel he saw on the subway".

I really like this idea of sorting out his possessions and so I thought this could be an alternative to the flashbacks which still shows the singer's state of mind.
We could have him sat at a chair and the whole narrative section of the video will be a medium wide shot from the front. Firstly, we see him pick up a pen and start writing a letter to his mother - writing the lyrics we hear- and then people in blacks, like stage hands, will quickly move the table and chair and put something like a chest of drawers in front of him so that he can take his possessions out, perhaps old photos and other sentimental things and line them up on top of the chest. By doing this, movement, it's as if the scene changes and he's now in a different place sorting out his possessions but we don't cut the camera so the whole narrative is one long shot. This could continue until the end where we just see him step up on to a stool so that his head is out of the shot and then the song ends, connoting that he ended his life and then the camera does its only movement to the table where we see the note and all his possessions lined up.

These ideas might be too complex for our video but I will discuss them with the group anyway and see what their thoughts are.
