Final Track - Overview

VIDEO OVERVIEW
The track itself is based around a man resisting the temptation of getting together with a perticular woman. It's clear to him that starting something with her can only lead to trouble and although the temptation to be with her is great, he still resists it. This idea could lead to a number of creative possibilities.

• We could use the lyrics to our advantage and base the video around a storyline following a mans temptations. In terms of the lyrics he is tempted by a woman but using this we could change the temptations into something, ie drugs, alcahol, stealing etc. We could also be more obscure and have wierd things as the temptations, ie stuffed animals and sofa cushions just to give the music video a completely different twist.
• It's also possible to completely go against the run of the lyrics and do something unrelated to what's actually being said. Like the 'We are Scientists' video 'Nobody Move Nobody Get Hurt', the song has nothing to do with the band being chased around the city streets by a giant bear yet it is still incredibly effective. An idea like this would be very fun because it would give us as a group as much freedom as we wanted to come up with something really original.

SHOTS

This is just a list of shot ideas i wrote down while listening to the song over and over again. We can use some of them when it comes to shoot the video and i'm sure we can encoperate them into whatever narrative we come up with.

• A car driving down a dark street with just the headlamps on - shot taken from inside the car behind the driver.
• Similarly a man running down a dark street with just the street lights illuminating the shot.
• A dark dingy alleywayCCTV camera catching someone breaking a temptation, ie. stealing something.
• Shots of people doing bad things in general, drugs, violence, robbery.
• A man snorting cocaine in a pub toilet.
• A man's inner concience - someone dressed in a red devil costume on his shoulder
• Flashing photo's of temptations on the beat of the chorus - drugs, food, women

Following these shots we also need cuts to the band playing their instruments, linking the music with the band and not purely with the narrative. This gives the band credibility for the song and boosts their popular image.

• Close up of fingers on the fret-board
• Close up of fingers picking the bass strings
• Close up of drum sticks hitting symbols, snare drums, toms
• Floor shot of the drummers foot tapping the floor pedal.
• Mid-shots of the band moving around on a stage
• Close-up of the singer's mouth and the microphone
