I planned my music video very based on the lyrics of the song .
Here are the first 4 lines of the lyrics .
Tell the taxi driver pull up over there
Sprint down the street and we don’t pay the fare
Onto the district line, force open the door
Theres loadsa seats free but we cotch on the floor
The beginning 4 lines was very much based on a taxi driver that pulls up his cab and a man gets out and sprint down the street and he doesn't pay the fare . So this is exactly what I tried to implement in my music video . So I planned to film my artist getting out a cab and then sprinting down the street without paying any money .
The other two lines seem to be based on the artist running onto the train and sitting down the floor . This may have been very difficult to achieve to be able to onto a train and film this but it is very achievable . So my artist would have to run onto a train and then sit on the floor .
Last night we both died a death
Just flowed til no cider left
Jumped out the wrong side of bed
Now another night of wrong lies ahead, ha
To be a kid again, Nancy and Sid again
Need medicine, cut out the middle men
Run free, only way to get rid of them
Never gonna catch us
In the above verse I had several things to think of . The line 'Last night we both died of death' . I had to try and think of a certain idea to fit the correct lyric. I was going to plan my artist to be drinking some alcohol as it could very much represent him killing him self over time. In the song this line is repeated on numerous occasions so I will show a clip of my artist drinking on several occasions within the song . Also the line below ' Just flowed till no cider left can be represented by my artist drinking . For the line 'Jumped out the wrong side of bed' I am going to film my artist falling out of bed . I am going to go to a park and film my artist on a swing going up and down when the lines 'be a kid again' comes on . Near the end of the the 1st verse there is a massive point which needs to build up in order to work properly . After the end of the 1st verse there is a massive chorus .
I am planning for the 2 following lines to film my artist lip syncing the song in several areas . To be able to do this correctly I Will need to film my artist in several different locations and behind a green screen while lip syncing the song with a backing track in the background .
Chorus
We’re on the run
And Im about to lose it
Shes like a gun
And she aint afraid to use it
With the line we're on the run I am going to film the taxi driver chasing my artist across several different location and when this line occurs it will be the same incident every time just in a different location creating tremendous build up to the final chorus . Also a similar approach to the previous line will be the line ' And Im about to lose it' . On this occasion I will film artist for a period of time shaking his head and preening like his mind is very much focused elsewhere . For the line She's like a gun I am going to use as lip syncing , and also with the line 'And she aint afraid to use it'
We’ll catch our very last train
Light our very last flames
And we’ll knock it all back and forget our names
Cos its our last night
And its one last fight
We’re the last ones
The last ones standing
For the line 'Well catch our very last train' I am going to have a train firing past and then him jumping on it with speed to make the effect very quick which adds even further build up . 'Light our very last flames' I am going to have a fire with Eljah green screened body in the background while he is also lip syncing the song . I am going to use another piece of my artist drinking and downing his sorrows and because he is drinking he is forgetting people's names . The next two lines will be lip synced footage of my artist in a train station bus stop saying the words .
With the last 2 Lines I am planning to create a very special effect . With the green screen I plan to capture my artist in 3 different costumes lip syncing the song and then have a backdrop of a shop while there will be 3 of the same Artist on the screen at the same time all the lip syncing the song . This will require severe planning for this effect which will be talked about later on in this blog .
Second Verse
Go tell the waitress, we’ll have 2 rum and cokes
Ask for the bill and then we’ll split when she goes
Out the fire exit wearing some strangers coat
We’ll sing it out til we’re sore in the throat
This whole verse will be lip synced . With my artist using a lot of emotion to the words that he is saying and a lot of body language will be used . For example 'we'll have 2 rum and cokes' my artist will use his finger and show he means two .
Also with the last line my artist will point to his throat .
This aint childs play like pass the parcel or
Build a castle, jus a couple of rascals who
Go harder, live faster
Fight til the end like Jason’s Argonauts
Cos lifes a carnival
Theres no reason, motives marginal
Don’t care if we’re cold and starvin
We’ll still be laughin when…
For the firs two lines I play to have to have some children running up some stairs and playing knock knock ginger on someones house and then running away . I choose to do this because the line suggest ' This aint child's play like pass the parcel' representing that children are involved somewhere and also the lines after says ' Build a castle just a coupe of rascals'. These two lines very much represent children so I am going to use certain children to make the full use of these lines . The following two lines will be my artist lip syncing behind the green screen . They I will film my artist on some sort of carnival adventure to make full use of the line ' Cos life's a carnival ' . I am going to film my artist at night , looking very much like a homeless person requiring attention and holding up a sign of 'MONEY PLEASE' . I am going to do this in order to achieve the 'Cold and Starvin' lyrics that are in the song . I plan to get some type of cardboard and write in board market Money Please on it .
We’re on the run
And Im about to lose it
Shes like a gun
And she aint afraid to use it
I am going to repeat what I previously had done with these lyrics
''With the line we're on the run I am going to film the taxi driver chasing my artist across several different location and when this line occurs it will be the same incident every time just in a different location creating tremendous build up to the final chorus . Also a similar approach to the previous line will be the line ' And Im about to lose it' . On this occasion I will film artist for a period of time shaking his head and preening like his mind is very much focused elsewhere . For the line She's like a gun I am going to use as lip syncing , and also with the line 'And she aint afraid to use it' ''
Here is the last double chorus that takes place at the very end of the song .
We’ll catch our very last train
Light our very last flames
And we’ll knock it all back and forget our names
Cos its our last night
And its one last fight
We’re the last ones
The last ones standing
We’re on the run
We’ll catch our very last train
Light our very last flames
And we’ll knock it all back and forget our names
Cos its our last night
And its one last fight
We’re the last ones
The last ones standing
For this double project I wanted to build up a massive crescendo type of build up towards it . If I could achieve this correctly then My music video style would very much work . To do this I would need a lot of quick reaction cut which create a crescendo type of feel .
So to start of with I took a very similar approach to how my music video has previously been going by having my artist being chased , in front of a green screen lip syncing and in various location's lip syncing .
I wanted the taxi driver race against my artist to excel and gain much greater momentum towards it . To do this I made the cuts quicker which all leads to a greater ending .
In the end I wanted my artist so sprint to a car and then eventually drive away.
All of this written above is my original plan in what I want to achieve .It is a plan to get a start from but things will very much change by the end of it .
