Kid Idea

The video starts with no music and the band walks into the performance area, preferably a barn to keep with style of other videos. When the band enters there will be different angled shots, for example close ups, pans, wide angle, low angle shots, focus pulls and so on, these will all be taken of the band picking up instruments and getting set up for playing. There will also be interference noises from amp plug in. It finishes with a wide angle shot of the full band. The barn will be covered in the traditional hay and will be given a rustic look. In the corner of the barn will be larger hay stacks, with pitch forks and shovels and so on. There will be lights (Christmas) hanging along the roof and down the walls. There will be an eerie lighting, that such of Catalonian Love Song. 

Singer will be positioned at the front centre, to the right of him (from the cameras point of view) the bass guitarist, behind him, situated between singer and bass guitarist will be the pianist. To the left of the singer will be the electric guitarist. and the drummer will be at the back on a raised platform (2/3 ft). -At this point the music will begin to play, we believe the best way to record would be for the band to play along with the recording we have of the piece, and then for us to lip dub over the top. But whatever the artists are more comfortable with will suit us. The first shot will be of the drummer, and then it will cut back to the whole band playing the piece. When the piano stabs start it will jump to a shot of the pianists hand stabbing the chords on the piano. Then establishing shots of each instrument, finally finishing on a close up of the singer when the verse starts. 

The performance shots will continue before we see the band leaving the barn from the inside on the word 'small' and then leaving the barn on the outside is a smaller version of the band, when they were in their early teen's, possibly 12/13, wearing identical clothes to that of the band. Then we will introduce loads of different shots of the kids, running around parks, town, everything, having a great time, doing favourite memories of the bands choice of when they were that age. During this there will be cuts back to the band playing in the barn, again using all the different shots as before. During all this the young singer will see a girl of around the same age of which there is immediate chemistry. This will get across the point of the song being that of a memory of a girl when he was younger. 

The next shots will be that of the young sister and girl having memories, holding hands and so on. We also must make evident that the singer has ditched his friends (then band) for this girl. We think that if we differ the lighting and effect of the lighting from the barn, make in bright and turn up the contrast and whiten it to give it that sense that is it a memory or flashback. There will also be constant cuts between them and the band playing. We will then cut to the banjo player on the banjo player, there will be different shots during this, rule of thirds, close up, running up the neck of the banjo and so on. Then around half way through there will be a graphic match between the banjo and a large round circular lolly which the singer has bought for the young girl, obviously there will be a zoom out spin on this shot also. 

After more shots between the band and the memories they have with the kids, we eventually see the young girl be wowed by another man and singer and the girl part, while this is happening, the rest of the band see him getting dumped, and go back to comfort him, they previously hadn't been friends, as he was going out with her. They offer him comfort which he accepts. Then the next shot will the the kids reentering the barn in the same order from the outside, and the current band reentering the barn, bringing it back to current times. It will finish with the band singing out on the same establishing shots used at the start.
