Our Song Choice With initial and Rough concept Ideas.

Our main idea is that our music video would be a parody of a western film

We planned to have the girls as indians and the boys as cowboys (or maybe even the other way round), complete with outfits like bow and arrow, cowboys hats, guns.

We would then have various shots building up to the big fight. for example, there would be an introduction to all the characters in a dramatic western style way (lots of close ups on eyes).

The cowboys would turn up in a car, whilst the girls turn up on bikes - showing a parody of cowboys in wagons and indians on horses. There would also be a showdown like in the western films where they stand back to back and walk away from each other.

An idea for the majority of the video would be cuts between the two camps, Cowboys and Indians, and also them preparing for battle and doing classically stereotypical things,fetching water etc, but with a modern twist.

our ending was to have a fight using powder paint, and at the end one indian girl would kill a cowboy, with the lyric "taper jean girl killed me"

We liked this idea because it was different as it didnt match the lyrics perfectly yet we are putting a twist on the lyrics which seem to mention/revolve around a girl and their/ a relationship and how he is treated by her. And we found that - through research - most bands music videos that were more concept driven and less focused on the lyrics were much more enjoyable to watch!
