2. Hotspur - Hypochondria
• Indie Rock Styling – with suits or something smart, USP would be such suits and ties or
bow ties. Styling of psychotic person with hoodie quite messy clothes such as hoodie
and tracksuit bottoms.
• Idea: non-linear narrative style Psychotic person very nervous and anxious very regretful
about what they have done to lead them to being psychotic and going out with "one last
blaze of glory" flashbacks throughout of how they got to this moment such as being
diagnosed as psychotic and how they got led to being psychotic and having this as their
last option such as robbing a bank
• Whole time doing the song they are writing a letter in a crazy way. Bit in song when it
talks will be person talking to themselves writing the letter
• The radio communication at the end will come out of old radio while we see them going
to either commit act of going out or dying.
No music video
Alternative/Indie rock
Conventions of an indie
rock music video
Example of lyrics relating to idea for storyline
• "And we know,
Today might be the last." - this would relate to my idea of the psychotic person going
out in one last blaze of glory such as going in all guns blazing robbing a bank for
example.
• "Woa-o-o-o-oh,
If today is the, is the day that I die,
Woa-o-o-o-oh,
Please let me, please let me apologise." - this would relate my idea of as the
flashbacks are happening and the robbery while they are writing this apology letter
which in the narrative would have been before the bank robbery or some blaze of
glory.
3. Matchbook Romance - Monsters
• USP: Messy style like punk rock or indie style very messy not worrying about looks
• Heavy editing, Hallucinations throughout video
• Undead or possibly Crazy theme.
• Band being the demons of the crazy person that we see in the video
• Each band member saying one line with guitar solo looping through crazy persons
head with editing of each and member going around the crazy persons head
• Crazy person very paranoid of everything from news to literally something under
there bed. Not trusting anything setting would be in his bedroom walking around
crazy not trusting news such things like that.
There is a music video but
was made in 2006 and is
very old and outdated
Alternative/indie rock
Will have alternative music
video conventions
Examples of lyrics that relate to my idea for storyline
• "We are the monsters (Monsters)
Underneath your bed" - this would relate to the person in my video
being very paranoid at all times resulting in childlike fears such as
monsters under the bed.
• "Yeah
Believe what you read" - this would relate as the voices are telling him to
believe what he reads but he does not believe them and is trying to fight
them.
• "From the world that makes me crazy" - This would relate to the world
around him being crazy.
4. The Shimmer Band – Ya Ya (Uh Oh)
• USP: Smart crazy dressing, colourful
• Idea: Love story guy chasing girl
• Chasing through different memories
• Looking through classic memory book
• When they get to a photo see them in background going through
memories
• To show at the end both of them looking through the memory book
older.
No music video
Indie/ Fun style of music
Will have conventions of
classic indie music videos
Examples of lyrics that relate to my idea for storyline
• "I feel you coming" - this would relate to my idea of the couple
going through their memories from the memory book
• "We are just chemicals with infinite time" - this would relate to
my idea of them going through the memories of infinite time and
their relationship lasting an infinite time with the different
memories having different styles from different periods of time.
A memory book such
as this one would be
the idea of mine.
