Basic Set Up and Stuff

We had a couple of videos which influenced us like Jimmy Eat World - The Middle and YouMeAtSix - Gossip because it involves a big party with the band there playing as well. Some videos that combine performance and narrative have the band playing somwehere completely different and are not in the same location at all, which we think looks quite odd because the two sections to the video don't seem to fit together very well which is why we will have the two connected in some way.






For our typical 'boy likes girl' storyline, we had influences from New Found Glory - Dressed To Kill but slightly less on the stalking side of things and just have them both liking each other without knowing the other one likes them too, and instead of ending on a bit of a cliff hanger like this video, ours will be resolved with a happy ending of the two being together. This was also our main idea because it fits with the theme of the lyrics in the song we will be using as shown at the bottom of this post.






These are the lyrics to our song that we will be using and basing a story around -

Verse 1

Hey girl why you standing there,
Seeming like you do not care,
Get on your feet lets have some fun,
We'll go round and round,
When i say wait you'll say right now,
See now you're having fun, lets go 4 3 2 1!

Chorus

Allow me to have this one sir,
Move aside and let me take her,
I'll show you a real good time,
And then you'll wanna be mine.

Verse 2

Jump like it's just begun,
There's nothing that can't be done,
Time to live all your dreams,
Forget the ones that could of been,
Somethings should be unleft,
Somethings should be unsaid,
Now it's up to you,
There's nothing left we can do

Chorus

Allow me to have this one sir,
Move aside and let me take her,
I'll show you a real good time,
And then you'll wanna be mine.

Middle 8

See now you're having fun x5
Lets go in 4321,
4 3 2 1 !

Chorus

Allow me to have this one sir,
Move aside and let me take her,
I'll show you a real good time,
And then you'll wanna be mine.

Allow me to take this one sir,
Move aside and let me take her,
I'll show you a fucking good time,
And then you'll wanna be mine.

From these lyrics it's quite clear that the girl in this story already has a boyfriend or is already dancing with a different guy and throughout the song the other guy who wants her is consistent in trying to get through to her by saying and proving how much happier she will be with him instead of the guy she's dancing with.

We're planning on following this sorta storyline but also developing it a bit more and giving it an ending of the two getting together, as the song doesn't quite bring it to a close.
