Music Video - Initial Ideas

Using the results of our survey and the lyrics analysis, we came up with 5 initial ideas for our music video:

Idea 1:

Establishing shots of a city at night, the male protagonist walks aimlessly down a street. As he passes he sees a variety of people having fun and enjoying themselves. Everyone is in muted colours, with a dark mise en scene. The he sees a girl at the end of the street who is wearing bright colours. There is a montage of them together, before he ends up in bed the next morning not remembering anything. He gets up for the day and finds a polaroid from the night before with instructions written on. He follows these instructions to find the girl, and eventually sees her at a train station, where she waves before vanishing.

Idea 2:

Photographer waking up unenthusiastically, ready for a photoshoot. Line about repetition - repeated shots of him getting ready and walking the same way in different clothes. He sees the girl he's taking photos of and he is intrigued by her. After the photoshoot she leaves a polaroid in his pocket, he follows the instructions on it and ends up in a final destination with her.

Idea 3:

Boy sees a girl on a shopping channel on multiple TV screens in the window of an old TV shop. He then tries to find her and follow her. Consumerism is addictive and causes him to worship it.

Idea 4:

A girl has a vial of a solution called 'worshipper'. She gets ready to go out on a date, she puts some of the vial into the boy's drink. He drinks it and begins worshipping her. She walks down the street with him following her, she smiles before he pushes her and it smashes on the floor. The solution turns into gas before spreading around, suddenly lots of boys begin following her as they've been infected by the solution. Shots of her dancing with them, the boys doing things for her such as painting her nails. Role reversal - dominant woman.

Idea 5:

Montage style video of clips of a boyfriend and girlfriend together.
