We had another group meeting today and ruled out about another million songs. We cannot all seem to agree on one. Anyway i really like the idea of doing an Arctic Monkeys song as their music is so iconically indie and we could therefore play on the genre throughout our music video.
Here is the treatment for my favourite Arctic Monkey's song:
I think with this song we could really focus on the performance side of the indie band genre.
At the beginning we could have a shot of the band performing in a blank room with lots of black and white photos in the background. We could be constantly getting close ups of the band and then close ups of various photos.
Everytime we cut to the photos, they will then turn into a sequence and we will see the sequence being played out and it will resemble what is being said by the lyrics. It will be in POV of a guy going out at night. It will be him wandering the dark streets of London and eventually he will get to a seedy club which he goes in. In the club it will be dark with lots of provocatively dressed girls. We will follow him round the club with people looking at him etc. Right at the end we will see him get to where the band are performing in the club and he will take up the place of the singer there. The narrative will turn into performance. When we cut back from the narrative to the performance in the blank room the sequence will freeze and turn back into a black and white photograph.
We will constantly be cutting from the narrative to the performance, until right at the very end when the two coincide and we see that the man is actually the lead in the band.
The black and white images turning into a sequence will resemble 'Pink - U and Ur Hands' where shes reading the book and the pictures turn into the scenes.
The club will be a mixture between the club in 'Akon's - Smack that' video and 'Kylie's - Spinning Around' video.
