Discussion of Ideas

On talking with the band, new ideas have come to light. They decided that that wanted to use a different song, a song called 'Free'.

'Free' is about turning 18, being apprehensive about it and facing problems that could occur with now being an adult.

The band wanted to film the girl walking through a town, looking down and not enjoying her 18th birthday. They also wanted to film themselves in an old warehouse, and in the end the girl is shown having a good time, partying with her friends.

I took these ideas have and expanded them to something I think portrays the lyrics through the storyline more clearly. I thought of filming the band at a gig, with close ups and wide shots of the band playing the song. I also thought it would be good to get close ups of 18 balloons to clearly show that its the girls 18th birthday. I also thought of showing the girl looking down, like the band wanted, but with her lower than everyone else, showing that she is taking herself away from the party, as if she is in her own world. After this, I thought it would be a nice idea to take a few scenarios that could occur when turning 18 and the struggle you face, such as buying a car, or going to uni. It would then go back to the girl, who has clearly listened to the lyrics carefully, realising that what's happening is now and in the end she has a good time with her friends and the band. At the end of the song it repeats 'Free' so going on discussion with other people, we thought it would be a nice idea to get the audience chanting 'Free' over and over again, to end the song.

Next, we just need to set a date for filming!
