Deconstruction + Reconstruction of a Media Text

Students in groups are to re-produce 30 seconds of an existing music video. We have assigned ourselves to use the following video to create a reconstruction:

 Song: Twin Atlantic - Make a Beast of Myself
The first minute of this music video was reproduced on a storyboard by another student in our group. We  agreed out of all of our example videos, this would be the best video to reconstruct, as it is one single shot throughout the full duration, and requires precision timing for the actors entering the shot, as well as the main actor. The footage is also in slow motion, meaning that during filming, the singer has to lip sync at a faster speed than the song itself. It also proved to be a positive experience for me, as although I am producing a heavy metal music video, I see it as a good thing to tackle other music genres (this song in particular is indie rock) and their differing conventions.
