As well as coming up with the idea of the homeless person seeing the band on TV screens etc, Ed also built on Rob's idea suggesting that we could create a groundhog day inspired video to show how homeless people become trapped in a cycle of poverty. This cycle would be broken sometime during the video by different actions from a member of the public or the person.
We could just repeat the same sequence of events over and over, showing the struggles of living on the street e.g. the cold, discomfort and threats. On the last cycle round this would be broken and the video would end in an uplifting way again, having them released from the poverty trap.
The only problem with this idea is that it could become repetitive and boring. This video needs to be really powerful and poignant so the last thing we want is for people to zone out. Therefore we would have to address this possibility, perhaps making the video more fast paced or intercutting the narrative with different, interesting shots of the band's performance.
