Black & White

I also really like the idea of having the performance aspect of the video in black and white, as it makes it stand out more and gives it a more edgy and stylish feel. The use of monochrome is applied well in The Prodigy's video for Firestarter, as it gives the video an even greater grittier and urban feel.

However, i think that it could also be interesting to have the performance section of the video in monochrome, but have the other shots in colour as these would stand out more as a result of the introduction of colour. By doing this, we can highlight these images and make them seem as if they are more important than the other aspects of the video, therefore creating disjuncture in our video.
A video like this sort of achieves the effect we would hope for
