mind mapping initial ideas

idea 1
my first idea was for a track by a band called The Midnight Beast and their song booty call.the song has a humorous feel and talks about 'a male slumber party', the lyrics are about the crazy things three friends are getting up to, along with three beautiful girls who phone them for a 'booty call' in the middle of the night.our video could be in a parody style with a comedic approach. there could be lots of fast random shots related to the words and story line that follow the events of the night. we could use speeding up effects in order to show the passing of time over the night. we could shots from high in the corners of bedrooms in order to make it feel like a fly on the wall production, where we are gazing into the events of the night from behind the scenes. there should be lots of bright colours to reflect the light tone and shots should use many different visible transitions.

idea 2
the second idea for our production is for a song by Kele called Everything You Wanted. the song is a hybrid of many genres and combines a slow main lyric section with a fast upbeat chorus. the song is about the change in a relationship between the performer and his partner, he talks about how things have change. we think this would be a good choice of song if we wanted to include 'archive footage' as a memory of how thing used to be. also we could use some stop motion in our video inorder to show a passing of time or a turn back in time. perhaps something spinning anti-clockwise to show that the videois going ack n time. also the perofrmer could be walking trhough different settings performing thesong as though he is taking a journe down memory lane. there should be shots in between to show the story of how or why they broke up so that we can show a contrast between the changes in their relationship. we coul use layering effects to show the performer alone and the performer with his girlfriend in the same shot as tough he is looking at what he used to have. i like the song and i think it would appeal to many of my fellow students. it is very contempory and offers a good basis on which to produce a video. there is many angles we could take to producing a video that most reflects the track.

idea 3


our final idea was for a song by The Streets called 'fit but you know it'. this is another song that does not fit the convention of a single music genre. it is a mixture of electronic, garage and hip-hop but having listened to the song i think theres alot that we could do with the song. it has humorous lyrics similar to 'booty cal' but also talks about the encounter between the performer and a 'fit' girl. the music is fast and upbeat and the lyrics are very clear and almost spoken rather than sung. i think that the use of visible transitions and effects would this suit this video well as it is lighthearted and fun. we ould use letter boxing to show the different things he speaks about and speeding up effects to keep up with the musics fast pace.

LYRICS and VIDEO's for INITIAL IDEAS


The Midnight Beast-Booty call

I'm with my friends having a sleepover at mine,
Mum said lights off, but they're still on at half nine,
There's nothing gay 'bout doing nails and doing hair,
Nor nothing gay 'bout three boys playing truth or dare,
That's when my brush vibrated right between my legs,
T-t-to my surprise it was my phone instead,
Dru makes and interception,
Grabs my phone out my hand,
'Hello you've reached the midnight beast, you're ruining our plans! '

B-double-o-t-y
It's three over average girls calling three under average guys
"We're fucked up and we're ready to play
We wanna do things we'll regret the next day"
NO!
I wanna play cluedo with my bros
NO!
I wanna paint rainbows on my toes
NO!
I don't wanna hurl, I want a comforting look
When Noah kisses Allie in the notebook
It's just a booty call
even if your boo-tiful
It's just a booty call

Now my phones on silent, they still call on private number
I can't believe this desperation to disturb my slumber party
I'm in my dressing gowny while Ashley's making brownies
Dru is in the back room playing twister on his own,
HELL YEAH!
We're wearing our jim-jams
HELL YEAH!
We're playing the flute
HELL YEAH!
We're showing our sizes, the f***ing surprise is
that yours hasn't grown

And then I hear my!
B-double-o-t-y
It's three over average girls calling three under average guys
We're f***ed up and we're ready to play
We wanna do things we'll regret the next day
B-double-o-t-y
Three overconfident, stereotypical, cheerleader types,
wQ're f***ed up and
We wanna have fun
You can be the boys we'll regret when we're done
NO!
I wanna play Sleeping Lions
NO!
I'm busy defending Zion
NO!
There's no point in calling coz I'll never respond,
The boys and me are getting tips from Legally Blonde,
It's just a booty call
Even if your boo-tiful
It's just a booty call

I'm not a booty call, I'm just a normal boy
I want to stay at home and play with my toys
We are three boys not looking for three girls,
My Ring-tone's like a missile bringing war to my world
Cheese-strings, Party Rings are my favourite things,
Marshmellows with hot choclate, bitch we're living like kings!
I wanna have cheese pepperoni
I wanna play my little pony
I don't wanna hurl I want a chocolate fountain
Whilst we snuggle up to watch broke back mountain
It's just a booty call
Even if your boo-tiful
It's just a booty call
It's just a booty call
Even if your boo-tiful
It's just a booty call
right------

the streets-fit but you know it

intro]
Excuse me girl
I know it's a bit embarrassing but
I just noticed some tan lines
On your shirt

See I reckon you're about an 8 or a 9,
Maybe even 9 and a half in four beers time.
That blue top shop top you've got on IS nice,
Bit too much fake tan though - but yeah you score high.

But there's just one little thing that really really,
Really really annoying me about you you see,
Yeah yeah like I said you are really fit
But my gosh don't you just know it

I'm not trying to pull you
Even though I would like to
I think you are really fit
You're fit But my gosh don't you know it

So when I looked at you standing there with your hoard,
I was waiting in the queue looking at the board
Wondering whether to have a Burger or chips
Or what the shrapnel in my back pocket could afford
When I noticed out the corner of my eye
Looking toward my direction
Your eyes locked onto my course
I couldn't concentrate on what I wanted to order,
Which cost me my place in the queue I waited for YEAH

I'm not trying to pull you
Even though I would like to
I think you are really fit
You're fit but my gosh don't you know it

Whoa! Leave it out
Are you smoking crack or something?
Leave it Out
Mike just leave it just leave it
We cannot have that behaviour in this establishment
S'not worth it mike, just leave it
Don't Touch Me, S'not Worth It
Don't Touch Me, D, Look I'm Alright
Don't Touch me

For a while there I was thinking - yeah but what if?
Picturing myself pulling with bare white hot wit
Snaring you as you were standing there opposite
Whether or not you knew it I swear you didn't tick
And when that bloke in the white behind us lot queuing
Was clocking onto you too yeah I had to admit
That yeah yeah you are fit,
And yeah I do want it,
But I stop sharking for a minute to get chips and drinks

I'm not trying to pull you
Even though I would like to
I think you are really fit
You're fit But my gosh don't you know it

Now, I bashed my head hard earlier choosing a brew.
But I am digressing slightly so I'll continue.
I didn't want to bowl over all geezer and rude,
Not rude like good but just rude like uncouth,
You girls think you can just flirt and it comes to you,
But let me tell you, see, yes, yes, but you are really rude,
And rude as in good, I knew this as you stood and queued,
But I just did not want to give the satisfaction to you!

I'm not trying to pull you
Even though I would like to
I think you are really fit
You're fit But my gosh don't you know it

Oy, just as you started to make your big advance

With the milkshake and that little donut in hand
I was like nah, I can't, even though you look grand
But you look sharp there smiling hard suggesting and
Gleaming away with your hearty hearty looking tan
But I admit the next bit was spanner to my plan
You walked towards my path but just brushed right past
And into the arms of that fucking white shirted man

I'm not trying to pull you
Even though I would like to
I think you are really fit
You're fit But my gosh don't you know it

What do I give a fuck.. I've got a girlfirend anyway
(whoa, we've all had a drink mate)
We're all a bit drunk, yeah we've had a few fair play
I got this stella I bombed from that last café
This nights not even begun, yes yes oh yay

I did fancy you a bit though yeah I must say
I would rather I hadn't mugged myself on display
But this is just another case of female stopping play
On otherwise a total result of a holiday

I'm not trying to pull you
Even though I would like to
I think you are really fit
You're fit But my gosh don't you know it

[outro]
Ha ha huh huh huh
You're fit but you know it
You're fit but you know it
You're fit but you know it
I think I'm going to fall over
I think I'm going to fall
Fucking hell



kele- everything you wanted
