Our intial pitch

Our initial pitch:

We intend to do a music video for the song 'Someday' by the Strokes. The song lyrics have connotations of looking back on the past and waiting for something to give in their life; something that will help us complete a vital section of a music video - visuals matching the lyrics. We intend for there to be two aspects to our music video; the first being the band playing and the second a subtle storyline. Both these aspects we see as being conventional of a garage rock music video. The band playing in the studio will enable us to give close-ups and convey that we are talented at playing instruments. The subtle storyline will help us to keep our audience entertained and create a persona for the band; our audience will be expecting this.

We shall wear casual clothing, as to maintain our carefree image of the band. This will be from plain white t-shirts and jeans and hoodless jackets and trainers. Dressing smartly will not match our genre and our audience will not be expecting this; neither will they expect us to wear hoodies, as they are too mainstream. The whole image is based upon not trying to be seen as mainstream, but more indie and casual.

We intend to film the band going on a day out, in which reflecting on it, they barely did anything and wasted the day away. This conveys the lyrics, where they are looking back on the past and wondering where they went wrong. The song is also about youth and having fun, we will incorporate this into our storyline as we believe that this something our audience will expect and will appreciate.
