SCRIPT

(Dual Narrative)

Lead Singer wakes up; possibly after a rough nighthair is all messy and spiky, walks out of bed almost zombie-like and deadhe is dressed in a leather jacket and tight jeans (as if he slept in them). Dis-orientated POV shot/shaky handheld cam following him. Scummy, Small pretty empty room with a bed in it, could just be sheets on a floor for practicality issues, could be filmed in a boring, plain room at school Music doesnt have to start immediately, maybe about 3 seconds into the video The start of the song is very mysterious, dis-orientating and slow, therefore I think this start would work I was born -> start of lifestart of day Morning Sun -> just woke up At 00:12first aahhhhh, singer looks around confused after getting out of bed as if he can hear the screams Confusionalmost where am I?! As if hes been disturbed by us?

At 00:22 (tricky guitar)camera cuts to CU POV of lead guitarist playing

 at 00:24.75 (first repeat)cut to CU POV of drums at 00:27.5 (second repeat)return to lead guitarist (different shot) at 00:30.25 (third repeat)return to drummer (different shot-infront of drummer?) at some point, cut to wide shot of whole band playing, possibly 00:33 (faster guitar part) Room is very plain/small, some sort of garage?

At 00:42.75 (lyrics begin)cut to CU beauty/money shot of singer. Oh Baby I was born.with a fast fuseIve got no time to lovejust a city to abuse. At 00:53.75 (first repeat)cut to lead singer exiting his house on some sort of quest, but seems completely f****d up. Begins to run (almost

confusion) for some unknown reason to the audience, as if he was led or carried by spirits/drugs?) House he leaves doesnt have to be house he slept in, as the audience will not realise that its a different building because we cut from him in a room to him exiting a building, but we have to find a strange, dilapidated building in an urban area with little greenery. During the rest of the video there will be constant cutting to the bands performance (but the majority of the video will be the lead singers journey) At 01:05:75 (come get me)lead singer is briefly chased by a possibly enemy/angry drug dealer? Defeats (escapes from) enemy by 01:28:00 (before slow part)lead singer could hide and lose this guy temporarily? Lead Singer stops for a few seconds during Gold Lightening in the Skylinecould look up at the sky (illustrative lyrics). During chorus lead singer continues running down the street (different street?) and could wack a can/bottle off a pillar as city to abuse is sung he isnt being chased at this moment in time, but you can see a sense of urgency in his face. Between 01:50:00 and 02:00:00, shows singer running in slow motion (possibly whipping sweat off his face while showing aggression in his face with a CU) Lead Singer is attacked or tripped at roughly 02:35:00 and at 02:38:00, How Dare You!lead singer shouts (lip-syncs) the lyrics towards his enemy (who has returned with vengeance)lead singer is soo passionate, verbal and intimidating that the enemy gradually backs away in fear and eventually runs away (by 03:00:00). Lead Singer makes his way towards the garage (where his band is located) to get to his band practicebetween 03:00:00-03:50:00 During Heaven may come and Heaven may call but I wont be there shows flashbacks of past crimes by lead singeras he makes his final steps to his band practice? Lead Singer finds band playing and sees himself as some sort of flickering ghost (editing)leaves audience on edge?...is this a dream?

Notes Alternate Setting: Lead Singer destroying stuff in a room, either another location or his own room (he has a fast fuseabusing the city?) Dull mysterious colour gradient, possibly black/white, during either the lead singers journey (emphasising his rage/ruthlessness/possibly his messed up mind?) or during the band performing. Lead Singer in narrative will lip-synch some words to add emphasis. END: Finds band playing in studio (where theyve been playing for the whole video) sees himself playing (could edit this so that he is flickering and that its his imagination?)is he some sort of ghost? Is this a dream? Leaves questions for the audience Alternativelythe band could be playing without him, but I like the mysteriousness of him almost being in two places at the same time Band could be well into the song (performance) or just getting ready to have their band practice (narrative) ALTERNATIVE ENDING: Could be something completely different, as his actions need to be justifiable, but lead singer is messed up so anything is justifiableshouldnt be humorous though. We need to cut out at least one minute of the song. Lots of editing/creative opportunities

SUMMARY (read the above info first or this wont make sense): 3 Settings: - His scummy apartment (similar to Temptations room) - The streets of London - Garage where band practice - Possible alternate room where lead singer is smashing stuff in, but could do that in his apartment? Main Story: Lead Singer wakes up during start of song (or before). He is completely shattered, hung-over and on drugs. Looks confused as if we have woken him up. Hears screams aaahhh in thesong and looks around as if hes heard spirits. He leaves house in a rush and begins to increase his pace almost immediately to jogging speed, reason is unknown at the moment. Hes aggressively running through London when he is chased by a possible enemy/evil drug dealer for about 30 seconds. He loses him and carries on running through London. He is hit/tripped by enemy and lip-syncs How Dare YouTime to Address You, etc.. and this scares off the enemy. As he approaches his destination possible flashbacks of his past crimes during Heaven may comebut I wont be there Starts running through destination building and finds his band playing. Sees himself as some sort of flickering ghostleaving questions to the audience. Not sure about this ending, but its inter-changeable along with many other ideas, the overall idea is him running through the street (not a chase) after exiting his house and going somewhere. This is purely my interpretation and Im more than happy to adapt it
