2. Band image
Band name – Mad Hatters
The band will be a duo who are polar opposites of each other. One will
play guitar, the other possibly keyboard (even though there’s only guitar
in the song) or possibly another guitar. We will be likely to use ourselves
as the band members.

4. Song Lyrics
Say that you believe in faeries
'cause if you don't I'll never fly again
falling down is not as scary
as never finding confidence to stand
and now I guess, I'll never know
I'm in Neverland forever, I never will grow old
and I'm leaving you lost boys and girls, alone
and finally I've flown
I'm a hero in a land of treasure
and a failure, in a body that's all wrong
I tried to measure up to this adventure
to fantasize and make believe I'm strong
But if I give my all and still
amount to nothing in the end, then I guess it was pretend
when I thought that I could help protect my friends
and with my lance I'll charge
into the morning, look for me by the
light of the second star
I used to feel so small and wary
but maybe growing up means many things
So say that you believe in faeries
cause really, they're just miracles with wings
And if you miss me, let me go
you can kiss me but my body will eventually grow cold
but you can dream of me and I will let you know
that I am fine here
I am not alone
and I can fly here
Finally I've flown

5. Our basic story concept
A weak (mentally and hinted physically) girl struggling to live a mundane
normal life and escaping into a realm of fantasy, while being followed by a
female, winged 'guardian'. Ends with the guardian giving the girl her
wings.
It would be a mixture of the guardian and girl singing, in a kind of
question and answer format.
E.g:
Guardian: Say that you believe...
Girl: ...In Fairies...

6. Why the song?
We found the music soothing and the song lyrics to be quite poetic, as well as it
being the kind of song that immediately brings forth a massive amount of ideas on
what to do in the video.

7. Great shot ideas
Long shot, main actress throws a paper plane at the camera, cut to
plane in front of the lens and drop to reveal next scene.
Side long shot, actress now wearing the fairy wings climbs onto a
wall and leaps off it, fading quickly to white.
Close-up, tea is poured into a cup from off-shot, pan upwards until
the teapot and holder’s hand are in view.

9. Characters
(Band members)
Main character – Young girl
Winged Spirit Guide
School teacher
Other student(s)
Fantasy “Fairy” People
Other extras may be needed depending on the final planning.

10. Costumes
Covering clothes for girl, long sleeves and jeans, 'meek'. Normal everyday
clothes for guardian with trenchcoat/some sort of long coat, feathered or
glittery white wings.
Extras will wear either normal clothes, school uniform or fantasy style
clothing depending on the character

11. Props
For this video we will be likely to need a massive amount of props, including food for a
fantasy-style picnic or feast, wings for the guardian, some school supplies for either a
studying scene or school scene, a guitar for use by the guardian and guitarist, makeup
for use as both props and for the actors to wear, a fancy but cheap tea set, bunting or
colourful flags and possibly some other small items depending on the final plan.

12. Role-splitting
It was decided that as a team of two we will split the roles equally depending on
individual skill and convenience.
Jaz: Blog, Digipack, some camerawork, props & costumes, planning.
Hana: Main camerawork, actors, locations, props & costumes, editing, planning.
Any other jobs will be split equally between us or given to the person with the most
time and skill to complete such tasks.
