Initial Ideas

• Our first thoughts when we listened to the music and watched her video was to do a narrative video to do with going out on a "Friday night" and how she can't dance.

• We thought of the possibility of having dancers in the same outfits doing a choreographed dance around the main singer and performing some acrobatic flips and gymnastics around her in a sports hall, but with dancers as we thought this would look more coordinated and professional.

•  We then thought further about this and we realized this was to plain and ordinary. We then thought about having something more original but with a group. Then we thought about having a hockey theme dancing and performing with their sticks and coordinating outfits. We could then still have our main focus on one particular girl who was really bad at hockey and took out her anger on the ball.   

• Then we looked at the video from a different angle and thought about having a group of people in an unusual situation singing the song. This is when we thought we could dress up a hockey team so they're matching with war paint on their faces, doing different drills, having close ups of them singing and and hitting the hockey ball.

• We would then cut to a different scene of the same girl singing on stage in a different out fit and a whole different atmosphere. We thought we could have a theme on the stage of what was happening in the song and have the contrast of the two locations. In the background of the stage we are having 3 dancers in morph suits doing a choreographed dance and moving around her to make her feel uncomfortable and small while she's singing

• However, when we relooked at the idea we thought of having the other location in the changing room with the main girl dancing around singing into the mirror. We thought this could coordinate better with the song.

Further ideas of shots for the main singer

• High angle shot of Abi on the floor, moving her arms and looking at the camera as she mimes the lyrics to the first verse.

• Another shot we had for the first verse was Abi getting ready for her "hockey match". This included close ups of her pulling up her socks, putting on her headband and her face paint. We ask had shots of her singing in the mirror with a over the shoulder shot so we could see he reflection in the mirror.

•  For the music at the stat of the music video and in between the verses and chorus we had a shot of her in different positions which is good for the upbeat tempo.
  

•  Fr the lyrics "i got a feeling that i look absurd" we had a medium shot of her throwing off outfits because she didn't like any of them.

• To show that she was "having a fit" we had a full shot of her tearing off the clothes and hitting down the hockey equipment because she's angry which we are going to speed up and slow down for a bigger impact on how upset she is.
  

The outfits

The picture below shows the kind of outfit we want out dancers to wear, with matching accessories such as head and sweat bands and socks, with high waisted skirts and tucked in polo shirts.

Ideas of Shots

Have a before and after shot of the stage - what is it going to look like when we've done it up and what are we going to have in he background?

Screenplays - Here are some of are initial ideas using screenplays to plan out each shot. We will do more details plans later on and make sure we have planned our shooting schedule.
