Song: Matches (3:26)Tonight’s a flame, and we are too

These shades of red, they never felt so goodI thought you would not understand, but it seems like we’re on the same page

Let’s burn tonightWe’ll burn tonight, we’ll burn tonight

We’ll start to learn, then we’ll burnBurning bright tonight, here comes the storm tonight

Lighting matches to guide your way back home

Here we are now, at the end of thisBut it feels like, just the beginning All the letters, and the photos too

And it rains here

Tonight we’ll burnWe’ll start to learn, we’ll start to burnTonight we’ll burn, tonight we’ll learn

Burning bright tonight, here comes the storm tonightLighting matches to guide your way back home

Let’s burn tonight X6

For 0:30, the intro is only music. For this, we plan to have close ups of the band playing their instruments in a ‘live’ performance.

Tonight’s a flame, and we are too As this song is called Matches, we want to include a sense of fire. We plan to use Catherine Wheels and Sparklers, and at the

start, the sound of someone lighting a match.

These shades of red, they never felt so goodMy researched video directors, Sitcom Soldiers, used flashes of colour in post production to create a more artistic effect. I think

this would be a great chance to in cooperate that technique.

I thought you would not understand, but it seems like we’re on the same page

I think it’s important to have live performance shots during the chorus, as it gives the viewers a chance to see the talent and personality of the band. I think the live performance could change between woodland and beach.

Let’s burn tonightWe’ll burn tonight, we’ll burn tonight

We’ll start to learn, then we’ll burnBurning bright tonight, here comes the storm

tonightLighting matches to guide your way back

homeI think this part of the song could be written about love. Even though there will be no love based narrative, it is good to bear it in

mind.

Here we are now, at the end of thisWe want to film the band walking around, looking slightly lost “finding their way back home”

This would be a great part of the song to do this. The singer miming, the band behind. Carrying instruments?

But it feels like, just the beginning All the letters, and the photos too

And it rains here

This is the outro to the song. This is when we would like to have the band performing in the woodland/an open space. We want to have a catherine wheel and

sparklers to creative a warm, dramatic effect towards the end of the song.

Tonight we’ll burnWe’ll start to learn, we’ll start to burnTonight we’ll burn, tonight we’ll learn

Burning bright tonight, here comes the storm tonight

Lighting matches to guide your way back home

Let’s burn tonight X6At the end of the song, we could have the band walking away into a sunset. They’ve found their way back home, and the sun is

setting on their song!!

Cast & crewAs there is only Rebecca and myself, it is going to be difficult

to get everything finished on time unless we specify what we do.

Jordane & Rebecca – Filming. We will both film from different angles, and film different elements of the song. E.g. Whilst I film the band walking and lip syncing, Rebecca films surrounding area.

Jordane - LightingJordane & Rebecca – Putting the footage into orderJordane – After effects editing. I am going to try and self-

teach myself some after effects editing, to add excitement to the video.

Rebecca – Transition and lighting editing.
