GROUP 37 - Music Video 2008/9: Our plans, they have changed!

Wednesday 10 September 2008

Our plans, they have changed!

We have a super-special awesome new member to our erotic club/group, and she has linkage to a band who are sexy enough to be in a video that we record. We turned down Napalm Death for being too fat. Her name is Annie and she rocks socks like rocks with... chickens. Anyway, this allows us to use the band in our video, which is super-special awesome.

Because people in bands are fickle people (which is why I've been through 16 drummers in a year- I'm not like this anymore so PLEASE contact me if you can actually drum -Aidan), so Annie consulted the band to see what their ideas are. Their initial idea involves what the lyrics imply - people's dreams. This also involves using Polaroid pictures, with their hopes and dreams written on the white bit at the bottom, for example, a picture of a builder whose dream was to be a ballet dancer, mixed with performance shots of the band in the chorus with the band performing in a room to meet the demands to sell the artist. Here are a few of our ideas:

1) Point-of view- looking at polaroid, then the person's face.
2)

Here are the lyrics:

My hands and feet are tied to this chair
It stays like this where I get nowhere
Woah-oh we lost all feeling
Woah-oh a long time ago

'Cause it happened again
We have the dreams but do we have the talent to fulfill them?

'Cause I won't fail you
I won't fail you again
I won't fail you again
You break your back to know my name
Then you just throw me away
Forever, we'll see where this one takes us

I lost my touch a long time ago
One poker game and now I'm broke
What a suprise

We open up to dreams
Dream 'til we lose our feeling
But we can always say
At least we try

'Cause it happened again
We have the dreams but do we have the talent to fulfill them?

'Cause i won't fail you
I won't fail you again
'Cause i won't fail you again
You break your back to know my name
Then you just throw me away
Forever, we'll see where this one takes us

*instrumental*

You ain't see the last of me yet
You ain't see the last of us yet
You ain't see the last of me yet
You ain't see the last of us yet

'Til the death bed
'Til the death bed

'Cause I won't fail you
I won't fail you again
'Cause I won't fail you again

Pitch:
FILL OUT BY OVER 240 WORDS
The music video will be aimed at the target audience that the song already has. Which (by the look of the comment board on their social-networking page) consists mainly of young teenage girls... fab(?). They'll want to see this music video as the song is already hugely popular with the fan base.
The video will have both a narrative and 'as live' performance footage that is interlinked with the lyrics. The idea is all about dreams, as the chorus implies. Visually, the 'story' side will present characters (extras) who have dreams they have either missed the chance to fulfill (for example, a builder whose childhood dream was to be a ballet dancer) or can still fulfill but is nervous about. Each extra is introduced by a polaroid picture being stuck to a wall of a board, in a hall opposite the band (who are playing the song itself). Initially there is a negative feel as all the extras are disappointed, but through the song, either the band members to the extras, or the extras to one another help everyone achieve their dreams.
Unlike other music videos, this was not fully consciously inspired by any other video, although in production, I'm sure other's ideas will shine through.
This music video is gunna be aweeeesome.
