New Narrative Idea

Today our group watched a video by Kids in Glass Houses - Matters At All, after watching this video it gave us the idea that we could have a girl that has a alter ego. By including this element it allows us to incorporate all our previous ideas of having the girl obsessed or imaging her being with this guy.

The idea of having a girl with an alter ego, we would have one side of her really flamboyant and out going and then have the other side of her very quite and shy. Also we could include

• Another girl in the video who is actually dating the boy (this could be me who would be in flamboyant clothing and make up)
• Kayla (the obsessed girl) would imagine that she is dating the boy
• Kayla's make up could be quite messy and childlike as she is trying to imitate my make up who is actually dating the boy
• I would play the girl Kayla wants to be like and we thought we could bring an element of voyeurism into the video with maybe Kayla watching herself with the boy on a TV screen. This would be her dream life.
• In order to distinguish between the dream life and reality we thought her dream life could be in colour and reality could be in black and white. This would be similar to Lily Allen's video 'LDN' which shows the audience how she sees the world but then the reality and this is a contrast of bright and dull colours.
• We also think that we will use a spiral shot to show the audience when the character has realised that she is imagining things and 'reality hits' her. We think this will go well with the part of the song when she sings a long note 'you' and then it is the chorus again. This is near the end of the song.
