Pitch

We want to create an Alice in Wonderlandesque video.

As the song is quite indie, and the lyrics are so visually strong, we feel that it is very surreal and dreamlike.

We will start with a girl dressed in a white dress and tights with very high heeled shoes, wandering around the location looking very confused, as soon as the first "ayeayeayeayeaye" of the lyrics come in the shot will change to the face of the singer, and we will use a 360degrees shot, spinning round. We feel that this shot will be effective as the tempo of the "ayeayeayeayeaye" will give this shot a good visual to music relationship.

An example of this shot is used in this student video from last year:



Make Out Fall Out- Group 39

The rest of the video will be a speedily edited, with shots varying from the singer with his guitar, to shots of the girl walking through a sea of people in weird costumes which represent the lyrics.

For example, for the lyric "the pressure of a pound sign", would be a shot of two men in very stereotypical banker costumes, holding a giant pound sign.

The whole video will have a very surreal, dreamlike vibe to it. We were inspired by Alice In Wonderland, and would like to create our own versions of the kind of characters Alice meets, but symbolic to the lyrics.

Both the Gwen Stefani video What You Waiting For?, and the Ashley Simpson video Outta My Head, create the kind of illusion that we are hoping to create.






Throughout the whole song we intend to use very fast pace editing, to create the confusing nature of a dream. As the song has quite a strong fast tempo, we feel that it will benefit from fast editing.

Target audience is anyone who likes the song/ kid harpoon, so mainly younger people.

Basically, our idea is AWESOME!
