The document is a transcript from an interview between a band member, Alfie, and an interviewer. It discusses the formation of Alfie's band Laplace's Angels during lockdown out of boredom. Their breakout hit single "I/Me/Myself" was inspired by gender expectations and bullying, depicting someone's struggles through a school day. The music video was filmed at their old school with members wearing school uniforms and colorful outfits to represent restrictions and self-expression. Alfie enjoyed exploring the song's themes through a familiar school environment and using bright costumes for the ending.

Interviewer -
I'm sure our viewers know who you are by now, but just in case anyone out there doesn’t,
[Turns to face camera] today I am speaking with the lead singer of the promising new band
Laplace’s Angels, who skyrocketed in popularity after releasing their video for their hit single
I/Me/Myself. [Turns back to face Alfie] Now this interview has been a long-time coming, so
thank you for taking the time to sit down with me today.
Alfie -
It’s my pleasure, thank you for bringing me on here
Interviewer -
Let’s get straight into it shall we; why did you guys decide to start the band?

Alfie -
Well, we had been thinking about it for a while, but lockdown was the push we needed. We
were all bored with every day being the same over and over again so we decided to make the
leap, with most of our sessions just being messing around over zoom for a while. We found our
style through this, so once we were together in person finally it really didn’t take long to get
going and produce.
Interviewer -
That’s great, I’m sure a lot of our viewers can relate to wanting a new outlet during the
boredom of lockdown. Now, we already mentioned your breakout single I/Me/Myself, but what
was the inspiration for it?
Scene 1, Shot 3: Footage from music video
Audio from the interview overlayed on footage from the music video. Uses footage from the
bullying scenes at the school
Alfie -
Steven and I wanted it to show the frustrations that come with the rigid gender boundaries and
boxes that people are put into. When coming up with the video, we chose to follow a school

2. day of someone struggling with these expectations and the bullying that many people face for
not following them. We decided to not really give the story of the video an ending in a way as
we didn’t want to give the usual ‘it’ll get better message’. Because while it most likely will get
better, that doesn’t stop the situation from being awful while it’s happening.

Interviewer -
Speaking of the video, was there any particular reason for the choice to follow someone
through a day at school?
Alfie -
We had all just left school, so we wanted to speak to people around our age and show that
they’re not alone and other people understand what they’re going through. It let us explore the
song's themes and message in an environment that our audience are familiar with, which made
it seem like the perfect way to connect with those who had taken our song and saw themselves
represented in the lyrics. Also, we were on a tight budget and our old school let us use the site
for free!

Now, many of our viewers picked up on the costumes used in the video and want to know the
intentions behind them.

Footage from the scenes of Alfie in school uniform, uses walking to school sequence
Alfie -
It was fairly simple really, we all still had our school uniforms and they were a great way for us
to show how people are restricted in how they can express themselves.
Scene 1, Shot 6: Footage from the music video
Footage from the end of the video
Alfie -
For my other costumes, we choose the brightest, most colourful outfits we owned to show the
joy that can come from dressing and acting the way you want. It was really fun doing the final
scene with all the outfit changes. I was a bit surprised at some of the clothes the others brought
with them, a lot of those didn’t make the final cut lol

Interviewer -
I’m sure that was a lot of fun to do. Unfortunately, I think that’s all we have time for, but I’m
sure our viewers loved hearing about the process behind the video. Thank you for joining me
today.
Alfie -
No problem
