OneRepublic- Initial idea:

Possible song and narrative for music video:

OneRepublic- all fall down



breakdown into an initial narrative:
INSTRUMENTAL - 00:00- 00:21

entire Music Video is slow paced:
  • start: home activity, male teenager running up the stairs for no reason.
  • emotions of anger, dispair and sadness through gestures and expressions. Cut with a distraught and crying mother over the table with hand to her face.
  • movement to bedroom: he crashes on bed then begins to pack a bag with clothes (implying he is going to leave- for good?)
  • Flashbacks of broken furniture, eg. vase etc. ripped picture of father or something which resembles tragedy.

VOCALS:-

  • 'Step out the door'- fade up to boy walking slowly out of front garden and down the street with a bag on his shoulder. EXtreme slow motion. hopefully raining.
  • Continual flashbacks of a full on face to face arguement with his mother downstairs.- silent screaming, hand gestures, facial expressions, etc
  • real time walking (could poss. be drinking)
  • Flashback of mother smacking him across the face.
  • 'thats the sound your waiting for'- busy traffic noise and cars going past him.
  • people pushing past him in the street- they are normal but he is slowed down. (others walk doubletime on shoot)
  • flashbacks of family life- e.g. home videos,
  • 'thats when you find me' could be video stopping on father and son's faces?
  • boy looking for places to eat e.g. shots of him sitting in a cafe- doesnt have enough money for some food,
  • back to walking in the street
  • boy looking for places to sleep- walks down to an underpass (A10 great cambridge road underpass). Sees tramps and drugs. put off and keeps walking.
  • thugs start to take his belongings and he ends up with very little
  • end: he has to sleep on a park bench or similar (humming at the end)
  • last shot could be jsut his eyes beginning to open or even a passer by giving him something.
