Our inspirations for the video came from sources such as horror films, for example with the doll theme, which is used in the modern horror film 'child's play'. The main inspiration for the music video was our thoughts while listening to the song. By listening to the song itself the haunting feel, along with some child-like undertones helped us decide on the theme of the video. The atmosphere of the song is quite dark and that was one of the main inspirations towards our idea. Our idea of time-lapse came from many different sources and other music videos in which the time-lapse has been used. For example Ed Sheeran's song 'A Team'.
The happy persona of the main character despite the fact of him murdering victims comes from the influence of the Aphex Twin video 'Come To Daddy' where there are a variety of smiling characters causing mayhem. The costume of a full black costume came from our own idea of keeping the main character within the dark atmosphere of the song. Also that was the same with a doll costume on a human, that was due to us developing that idea about the main character's doll obssession .

Radiohead - Background information
Radiohead are a 5-piece alternative rock band from Abingdon, Oxford, consisting of Thom Yorke (Vocals, Guitar, Keyboard), Jonny Greenwood (Guitar, Keyboard, Other instruments), Ed O'Brien (Guitar, Backing Vocals), Colin Greenwood (Bass, Synthesizers) and Phil Selway (Drums, Percussion). The band have released eight albums in their career with albums such as 'The Bends', 'OK Computer', 'Kid A' and 'In Rainbows' reaching high commercial success. Their early work was influenced mainly by British alternative rock and pop music such as 'R.E.M', 'Sonic Youth' and 'Pixies', however later on in their career, from the release of 'Kid A' they became influenced by more of a variety of artists. Examples of these are 'Can', 'Aphex Twin', 'Charles Mingus' and 20th Century classical music. This was shown in the more minimalistic and experimental style, mixing genres such as electronic and orchestral music in the albums from 'Kid A' and onwards. Their album 'Kid A' was released after Thom Yorke had gone through a stage of depression therefore it was a much darker and abstract album.
Costume Ideas
Main Character Dress Code
We have chosen this costume to add to the dark mood of the song, and to contrast with other people when the main character is standing on a street isolated. It is also so that all focus isn't on the clothing of the main character, it is on his actions in the music video
