2. About
“Kill Or Be Killed” is a song by
gothic metal core band New
Years day. The track was the
lead single from their 2015
album Malevolence, and gave
fans a taste of the dark
imagery and rock sound to
come.
3. [Intro]
Kill or be killed
Kill or be killed
Kill or be killed
Kill or be killed...
The introduction first begins with a short instrumental
from the band and then goes onto the repetition of the
phrase ‘kill or be killed’, as well as this being the title of
the song they are also trying to get the message of the
song across to the audience.
Possible ideas
In this section I want to introduce my characters for my music video
as well as show their locations as well as bringing out some of the
starting narrative aspects. This might also include a bit of
performance fro the singer and band.
4. [Verse 1]
Your imagination gets so twisted when you
Think you've seen my worst but
I have an instinct that can never be reversed
My vengeance is a curse
Possible ideas
In this section I want to show a juxtaposition of
characters, I want one actor to look sweet and
lovely but being tailed by someone completely
different and insane which could act as her
vengeance or something hat she will slowly turn
into. Possibility for a flashback in the second line
of sometime when she started to change.
5. [Pre-Chorus]
I want to watch you bleed
You're the crime but I'm the scene
Possible Ideas
For this section I want to show
the descent into madness and
what happened to here and the
people around etc. or use this
section to show the buildup for
the chorus and what will happen
6. [Chorus]
Back against the wall so
It's kill or be killed!
No other choice than "blood's gonna spill”
Back against the wall so
Forget and forgive!
But after all this I never will
The idea behind this chorus to show how the
person has no choice and they have to choose to
kill otherwise they will be killed and they are
being forced into this situation without any way
to get out.
Possible Ideas
Using a group of people and forcing them on the
singer and getting her to try and kill them which
slowly starts to change her into her vengeance
and using both dark and light shots with glow in
the dark paint to represent how their evil shines
through the darkness.
7. [Verse 2]
Don't be ashamed of all the monsters in your head
All of us are
Sick! Sick! All of us are sick!
Sick! Sick! All of us are sick!
Possible ideas
Different cuts showing ill people who are insane
and characters transformation
8. [Pre-Chorus]
I want to watch you bleed
You're the crime but I'm the scene
[Chorus]
Back against the wall so
It's kill or be killed!
No other choice than "blood's gonna spill”
Back against the wall so
Forget and forgive!
But after all this I never will
[Bridge]
Sick! Sick! All of us are sick!
Sick! Sick! All of us are...
Sick! Sick! All of us are sick!
Sick! Sick! All of us are sick!
Possible Ideas
Continue to create the evil character and watch her change becoming
more destructive such as by smashing things with weapons etc.
9. My sanity slid far from me
Provoked by rage it's driven me insane
Possible ideas
Finally the characters sanity has snapped and she has turned
into her other self previously seen
Talking about how she was originally turned into
what she is now and how she has learned to live
with it.
10. [Chorus]
Back against the wall so
It's kill or be killed!
No other choice than "blood's gonna spill”
Back against the wall so
Forget and forgive!
But after all this I never will
Back against the wall so
It's kill or be killed!
No other choice than "blood's gonna spill”
Back against the wall so
Forget and forgive!
But after all this I never will
Sick! Sick! All of us are sick!
Sick! Sick! All of us are sick!
Possible ideas
Using the main character after she has
transformed I want to get her to finally
be happy and join with the group of
people to have fun and do things
together which then will lead to them
going back to the beginning but as her
changed self and dealing with the
situation with the other people.
