Feedback on initial proposal

Here are some of the issues raised by our peers and teachers after presenting our treatment:

Are we going to do anything with Eoin's hair which is washed out pink at the moment? Could consider re-dying/ making him look quirky?

Is the video/image/band too satanic to appeal to a wider audience?

Could there be a wristband collect from the tours for fans?

Should work to the basement-identity idea: band 'started' from basement rehearsals/ underground gigs so keep that image strong
The narrative is too filmic. We don't need the relationship or accident with the girl being played out. Instead we should only have her as a supernatural stalker. Also, the boy as a 'baddie' should be revised to make him a victim for the audience to sympathise with. The girl should instead be a maverick influence.

Like the idea of a fight with a ghost and also at the fact that the fight is between a girl an a guy. Should really play on the manic nature of the situation.

We shouldn't set the narrative in the street all the time. Instead the girl should just always be where the boy is, e.g. sitting on the end of his bed whilst he is trying to sleep, in a shop window as he passes, on a TV screen...

The girl should be everyone the boy encounters in the street/interacts with in his life. She should always be one step ahead of him. e.g. She could be a druggie under a bridge and then someone leaning against a wall as he runs past.

There should be a repeated section during the chorus where the boy is being chased down an alleyway by the girl. It should be a dead end but we never see what happens when they reach it until the end of the music video where they should get to the end and then turn to each other and he kisses her.

We should put Robbie in the band now that he isn't a bad guy in the narrative.

Possible shooting locations:
Camden
Lea Valley Industrial Estate
Underpasses



We should incorporate some subliminal 'graffiti' of our band logo or a symbol throughout the video.
We shouldn't shoot at night but rather keep it to the day but film in grungy areas and we can mess around in editing with the colour correct/lighting.
