HB: Track Ideas

Initial Track Ideas

The Script - Flares

• Could open with a guy playing the piano – opening to the song starting with him sat at the piano, back facing the camera which slowly moves towards him and moves to a side view of him playing
• Lip syncing
• Couple sat at a fire place, the girl could fade out leaving the boy alone ‘there’s no one there’
• Guy going through old photos of him and the girl, screws one up
• Walking down a dark ally in a woods, sees a flare go off in the distance – walks towards it
• Tracking shots – close ups
• Some illustrative relationship between lyrics and video but mainly amplified
• Flashbacks of memories
• 2.23 – reach the source of the flares Girl setting them off
• The couple run back through the woods together as the pace quickens and end up sat back in front of the fire
• Rewind back through the video at a fast speed and end back on the guy playing the piano at the start for the ending

Taylor Swift - I Wish You Would 

• Inter-textual reference to film – the classic 90s movie – a boy and girl break up and the boy always ends up showing up in the early hours of the morning at the end
• Montage of flashbacks, a break up and present day
• Difference made clear by filters and transitions
• Car speeding down a street with a boy and girl in it and the clock on the dashboard shows 2am - illustrative
• Argument outside house
• Boy drives off
• Every now and then cut to the boy turning around and driving back
• 1.59 – boy gets out car – the beats of him getting out the car then closing the door behind him match the breaks in the song lyrics - illustrative relationship between music and video 
• As song approaches the end the guy is seen knocking and it ends with the girl answering the door.

Blitz Kids - Pinnacle 

• Could include a band playing and cut between that and the line of narrative
• The track itself has a slow pace so the cuts should have an amplified relationship
• Since the song is slow paced portraying an argument may be challenging so if it’s presented as a flashback it could show a memory at a slower speed as someone is looking back and reliving it
• On again off again relationship
• ‘Shoulder to shoulder’ – laying down next to each other
