The document provides scheduling and character details for filming a music video. The bassist in the band is not actually real, but seems real at first before progressively appearing more fake and disappearing at the end of the video. The bassist is to appear disinterested during close-up shots on January 16th and energetic during band performance scenes on January 18th and 19th, following the protagonist around near a bridge on January 22nd and looking happy in a classroom scene on January 24th.

Plot Overview:
The music video for the song, She’s Hearing Voices by Bloc Party, is going to centre around a
teen who struggles with mental health problems. They have good friends and are loved very
much. The band featured in the music video is formed of the protagonist’s classmates. At
the beginning of the video these characters are very real, although as time elapses the
audience is shown these characters aren’t real after all and these are the visual
representation of the voices the protagonist hears. The protagonist also comes to realise
this at the same time as the audience does.
Character Overview:
The bassist is not real. They seem very real to the audience at the beginning, however they
‘glitch’ and seem progressively fake as the video reaches the end. At the end of the bridge,
at the lyrics, ‘I was never alive’, the singer falls to ground and disappears from the screen,
the rest of the band follows suit and also disappears after this. They are quieter than the
rest of the band members, and they are neither nice nor un-nice towards the protag.
