PITCH- Science is Golden by The Grates

We feel Science is Golden is a Pop/indie Rock tune, with a contemporary feel to it. This is what we want our music video to be seen as, which shows modern, artistic and abstract ideas, as well as traditional narrative and with a band.

We have many ideas which we want to create. These include:

- As it is sung by a band we would like to incorporate this. We would want it to look like a live performance with the band members smartly dressed. This would be a narrative approach but we feel we could use a performance and abstract ideas together. This would be with a band, performing some parts on the song, close ups of each performer. Real instruments will be used.

-We want to make sure that we get lots of aspects of the live performance, which we want to do outside and in many different locations. We want to play around and edit the live performance footage to get many different feels to it so it isn’t all the same. We want the performance to have bright lights and a modern feel to it.

- We want to create a 'rock chick' feel with the way we perform and with what we wear. We want to be seen in bright colours, with a fair amount of costume changes.

-We have lots of ideas for a performance shoot with lights outside.

- We feel that the song is quite contemporary and alternative therefore we are going to interpret that by editing the footage with different effects and techniques.

- We have also thought about having different people signing to add some variety.

- Spotlighting and other lighting in general we feel would create an interesting effect to add to our video. By using different lights in shapes and colours.

- After looking at the official video to 'Science is Golden' we got inspiration and decided to put in some green screen and photoshop effects.

-Our overall look for the video is quite simple with most of our locations and shots with a simple background and having the focus on the band it self.




Miley Cyrus- 7 things
This video has element of what we hope to achieve in our video, such as the band,simple background,close-ups and also the different girls appearing in the video.




This music video is a previous student example. We like the bright lighting they have used and the focus on one person singing the lyrics. It shows different girls singing which adds variety which was one of our original ideas.


SONG LYRICS-
The lyrics for science is golden are listed below and are quite repetitive, however we could focus on the lyrics for some parts which would add to a part of the story of the performance.

What's the go with all these
New set of rules that you live by?
'Fraid you might die..
Watch 'em go by..
What's the go with all you
Scence sucking fuckers?
You're so high..Yeah, you're so high..
Watch 'em go, watch 'em go, watch 'em go-o by..
Sleeping orders won't
Get you through the door
You want more..
Watch 'em go by..
Slippery lips aint
Dancing chips in the meantime
You dream of lies..
Watch 'em go, watch 'em go, watch 'em go-o by..
I don't know why you lead me out to follow
I don't know why you lead me outside, because
Science is golden!Science is golden!
Watch yourself, 'cause science is golden!
I don't know why you lead me out to follow
I don't know why you lead me outside, because
Science is golden!Science is golden!
Watch yourself, 'cause science is golden!
Science, science, science is golden
Science, science, science is golden
Science, science, science is golden
Science, science, science is golden
Science, science, science is golden
(Watch 'em go by)
Science, science, science is golden
(Watch 'em go by)
Science, science, science is golden
(Watch 'em go by)
Science, science, science
(Watch 'em go by...)
I don't know why you lead me out to follow
I don't know why you lead me outside, because
Science is golden!Science is golden!
Watch yourself, 'cause science is golden!
I don't know why you lead me out to follow
I don't know why you lead me outside, because
Science is golden!Science is golden!
Watch yourself, 'cause science is golden!
Science, science, science is golden
Science, science, science is golden
Science is golden!Science is golden!



We do have some ideas for locations. Poppy's house has many white walls with bright lights which we want to perform infront of. ALso there is a decked area outside with lighting which will be ideal for our outside performance. Pictures to come!
