3. I think it’s time to call your landlord
Just tell him that you’re moving out
Yeah, you’re tired of his stupid rules anyway
I think it’s time to pack some boxes
We’ll load them up into my car
We’ll leave your mattress by the road and drive away
To my place (my place)
Your place (your place)
Our little hideaway
Our little sweet escape
My place (my place)
Your place (your place)
Our little hideaway from
What in the world do we call this world anyway
I think it’s time to / to call it all off
We know it wasn’t working out
Yeah, I’m tired of your shitty car anyway
I think it’s time, see, we’re oh so different
You’re always blabbing about tomorrow
But I want the moment so let’s go our separate ways
To my place (my place)
Your place (your place)
Our little hideaways
Our little sweet escapes
My place (my place)
Your place (your place)
Our little hideaways from
What in the world do we call this world anyway
Move in (get out)
You’ll think I’m crazy but
Move in (get out)
I think we need our own space
Move in (get out)
You’ll think I’m crazy but
I think we need our own place
4. TREATMENT
It isn’t a romantic story through the lyrics but there is a clear relationship between the 2
‘characters’.
I want to create a stop motion music video, with the chorus being a live performance piece.
The video will narrate the song lyrics and help the song come to life.
The reason I wanted to do stop motion is because the speed of the song just has the feel of
loads of images, like the jitter of an old film.
The style I want to create is the idea of ‘moving house’ I want to create through stop motion
boxes being packed and moving by them selves out of the house and into a car.
The idea of having a sign saying a completely unrealistic rule on it to reference the lyrics of
the song. This brings comedy and the reference to the
theorist Goodwin.
5. I want the shots to have an orangey/autumn feel to them, including the stop motion
filming parts. The chorus
of the song will be a live performance, this will show the two singers, one male and one
female, singer in a open field with an acoustic guitar this is capturing the iconography of
the genre of song which is indie folk, and were the singers are from which is Nashville.
The stop motion will show boxes being filled with everyday objects and then loads come
together to then leave the house like you would see when someone moves out but it
will be with stop motion so it will look like everything is moving by itself. The amount of
frames per second will be about 10 frames per second, depending on how small or large
the movements between each frame are, this can determine how fast or slow I want the
animation to be moving because I want it to fit with the speed of the song.
6. The idea creates a very calm atmosphere and an entertaining thing to watch and enjoy.
The idea of a stop motion everyone thinks that it will all be at the same angle and
distance away from the objects, but I want to break from the norm and experiment with
the stop motion and using different angle and moving the camera as well as moving the
objects.
The chorus is very important to create the iconography of the genre of music, I could
challenge the iconography of folk music and not have the stereotypical scene of the
musicians playing an acoustic guitar and have the stop motion carry through to the
chorus but the idea of having the live performance break up the stop motion to help the
music video to have flow, where as I think the stop motion could become repetitive and
get boring for the audience to watch.
7. TECHNICAL AND PRODUCTION
DETAILS
All the stop motion images will be taken singularly on a 600d canon camera, also the
filming for the chorus will be filmed on a 600d.
The audio is pre-recorded so no recording equipment will be needed whilst filming.
All footage and music track will be loaded into premier pro and edited together also on
this program.
