“Eymet” by the 99s

The Song: “Eymet”Eymet walked into my life,When I was feeling lost,You brought the summer sunshine,Chased away the cold winter's frost,Tonight.We've got tonight.

Don't go changing you're smile,Into a frown. Just 'cause I, I'm leaving town.I am leaving this town.

Eymish sparkled in my life,When I was feeling low.You brought the summer sunshine,Chased away the cold winter's snow, tonight.We've got tonight.

Don't go changing you're smile,Into a frown. Just 'cause I, I'm leaving town.Don't go changing you're smile,Into a frown. Just 'cause I, I'm leaving town.I am leaving this town.

We've got tonight. Eymet.We've got tonight. Eymet.We've got tonight. Eymet.We've got tonight. Eymet.We've got tonight. Eymet.We've got tonight. Eymet.We've got tonight. Eymet.We've got tonight. Eymet.We've got tonight. Eymet.We've got tonight. Eymet.We've got tonight. Eymet.We've got tonight. Eymet.We've got tonight. Eymet.We've got tonight. Eymet.

The Idea in an nutshellThe song is primarily acoustic and that is giving

me a rural feeling. So imagery of COUNTRYSIDES, FORESTS AND TREES BLOWING IN THE WIND come to mind.

It’s a song about a relationship, so the central theme will be on the boy and girl. I was thinking the two would be SEARCHING for each other with the focus mostly on him, because he’s singing.

Be really out-there and innovative by having a gay couple, maybe.

THE 99sMancunian Indie band.I see them as very trendy and fashionable in

today’s market.In the vein of acts such as:

The Loveable Rogues, James Morrison, Ed Sheeran, Olly Murs etc.

The Indie laid-back sensibility. A relaxed and calm identity, which matches this acoustic song.

You could say Hipster. Young and fashionable.

The VideoAn impressionist video.It’s story about a relationship. The song is

acoustic mostly so that’s quite chilled and breezy.My idea is mainly: Boy searching around for his

girl. Mostly through rural areas. It can start off in an urban environment but, as he looks for her and she looks for him, the environment becomes natural and fresh which matches the purity of love itself. The video follows their journey.

Lots of shots of the location, therefore lots of establishing shots.

Conventional to romantic music videos, so therefore the job is to amplify the content.

Keane – “Somewhere Only We Know”Shows lots of forest locations

Filmed on location.Plenty of handheld shots. This grounds it in reality and that

gives honesty and realism which fits the emotion well.An inspiration would be this bit: 1:38:18 in Fish Tank.Slow-motion shots.

The mise-en-scene is going to be very natural and representative of what you’d see in the real world. But made to seem more attractive with washed out colour-palettes. Big variety of shot-types.

Target AudienceYoung and trendy.The hipster crowd.The band are indie so the

audience will be quite niche and slightly away from the mainstream but not too far.

People that go to festivals as well, because plenty of indie bands are showcased at festivals.

The band will appeal to them because they’re part of the popular indie scene and their music is about that youthful endeavour of finding one’s love.

The Actors2 characters: BOY and GIRL. Playing a boyfriend and girlfriend.Just a couple of average, everyday characters

who are could pass for a real couple. Therefore the viewer will relate to them.

BOY: Cameron Lewis GIRL: GirlA white, blonde British couple that is

recognisable as being British/American, therefore would fit the conventions of this indie music scene.

Locations: Start of videoThe start of the video begins in Surban

environments: Possible Places: Romford, Ilford etc.

I want a variety of locations which conforms to music video conventions. It will also make it visually appealing.

The start of their respective journeys.Free. Easy to get to. No permissions necessary.

They have an authentic look to them.

Locations: Middle of VideoRoads and MotorwaysThe boy and girl will walk down them solemnly in

search of each otherPossible locations: A12, M25, A406, High Road,

Barley Lane, Country roads

Free. Easy to get to. No permissions necessary. They have an authentic look to them. They’re symbolic of making a journey, so will anchor the meaning of the story.

Locations: Climax of VideoCountryside and ForestsThe boy and girl get closer to finding each other and

end up together in the wind-swept, romantic fields of nature. A conventional place for romantic meetings.

Possible locations: Hainault Forest, Epping Forest, the fields near Fairlop etc. i.e. places with large grassy areas.

Free. Easy to get to. No permissions necessary. They have an authentic look to them and look really spectacular.

EquipmentCamera: To record the film. HD preferably, so the

magnificence locations are really conveyed to the viewer. Manoeuvrable enough so we it is easy for handheld.

Tri-pod: For stationary shots and mostly establishing shots.

Mobile Phones: For communication between crew

members and to play the song off so the actors can lip-sync.
