- Our concept is both a narrative and a performance one.
- It will open with shots of a depressed and heartbroken male wearing only dirty boxers and a t-shirt who hasn’t shaved.
- His hair will be messy and so will the mise-en-scene in his flat.
- We can have a direct relationship between the lyrics and visuals by including a shot of a kettle.
- This scene will be crosscut with performance scenes.
- At the start of the performance, he will be in the same state as he is in his flat but the rest of the band will be suitably dressed with an “indie,” style and will be appropriately groomed.
- He gets ready for the show in the flat: shaves, styles his hair, gets washed and dressed. The two scenes will be crosscut and as these changes happen in the flat to make it nicer and more well kept, they are applied when it cuts to the performance.
- We will use techniques such as reducing the size of a shot of the performance and overlaying it onto the TV in the flat, to give the illusion he’s watching himself. We could show a change in the flat applying to the performance using this method.
- We also plan to use a variety of performance scenes. They will be wearing a variety of costume from scene to scene, some will be in smart “indie,” style ex. skinny black jeans, loafers and a suit jacket/waistcoat, maybe a trilby.
- Other scenes will be in casual indie style ex. plain white canvas shoes, skinny jeans and a v-neck jumper over a t-shirt.
- There will also be cutaways of band members excluding the main actor.
- As well as this, some scenes will be shot against a background of bright sky and in dark theatre (if we can gain access.) Basically a variety of mise-en-scene will be used that will cut well with different parts of the flat with similar lighting/composition.
- At the final part of the song he’s properly groomed. Throughout the performances the crowd are seen but not heard, at the end of the song it cuts to the crowd and there’s only a girl clapping enthusiastically, it will be implied it’s the one written about in the lyrics.
- It will end with him turning the TV off, and with that flash the credits will appear on the TV screen.
