When discussing our concept in more detail, we discovered some things which could potentially pose complications with filming and cloud our narrative.
The basic idea was that of a paint fight between cowboys and indians; a parody of western films with a postmodern slant. The song we chose, Taper Jean Girl by Kings of Leon, does not have particularly clear lyrics, which meant that a lyric driven narrative was not really an option, and a complete performance piece could have lacked interest, so we went for the more conceptual cowboys and indians in the modern world.
As our concept is not lyric driven, it potentially poses some complications; how do we portray the song in a fresh and quirky way?
Ultimately we decided to reverse the roles of male cowboy and Pocahantas-esque indians, going for Tapered Jean cowgirls, portrayed in a more masculine manner, and more metrosexual indians. We also decided to place the characters in a modern setting, for example perhaps the indians would sharpen their arrows in a cafe or the cowgirls tipping their hats to a bus driver.
