Lizzard Channel - song chosen, props and idea's

I have been down to my chosen band's studio to talk with the majority of the 8 piece band to understand what they want inside their music video. I want to produce a music video which they will be happy and comfortable acting and playing their music while I will be filming. The song I have chosen to produce a music video to is 'No.1 In Sheboygen'. When asking Lizzard Channel what they would like this music video to look like they said the theme of the video should be based around St.Ouens beach and a collage of their performances reflecting the lyrics of the song.

I would like to produce a music video with a similar sort of style as foster the people's as it looks like a collage of their live's but obviously my music genre is far more upbeat therefore the way that i will edit my video needs to work with the speed of the song. I think to produce a video with similar qualities of the pumped up kicks music video i will need a variety of locations and shot's. One of my ideas will be filming them socialising as well as playing music in front of a live audience.


LYRICS

"This is who i am
This Is what i look like
People Cast Opinions
Cos It Doesn't Quite Look Right
Seeing 12 Kids all crammed in a van
Trying to get waisted Anyway They can
Now we got transport
We never have to skate
Hitch or walk but we'l still be late
Full Restricted 35 Tops
Getting Pulled over DUI by the cops

It's been a while
SInce I
Been laid in the van

Pre Chorus:
Why can't this be
The right path for Me

Chorus:
Im a lizzard till i die
in this carpark il rot alive

Here I am
6 years on
still a young man
living like a bum
Im staying this side of the 9 by 5
cause the carneys and pikeys live the other side
anytime we head out to the east
We smash out in town and chase some quiche (Quiche)
but we only end up chasing ourselves
cause we're barred from chambers and our local as well

It's been a while
since I've
Been let in the Splash

pre chorus

chorus



As I will be using a local band, I will not need to find actors and do auditions as the band fit they already fit the stereotypical ska/punk band and all can play instruments and sing! They are a band of up to 8 people when all members are in jersey. but usually it is 6 male members, all with different slightly different lifestyles which I think i want to portray in my video by filming plenty of fills. As in recording their hobbies' and social events as i think this will make my video slightly different from others.



The majority of the props which will be used will be the music equipment such as - amps, microphones, drums, mic stands, leads, guitars, trumpets. However I would like to incorporate props such as headphones, skateboards, surfboards etc to capture items of their lives inside my video. All members of the band surf so I will more then likely use a beach as a location and also include some footage of them surfing.
