Lyrics for "She's an eyeful on the alley"

We finelly got the lyrics, we mailed the band and we eventually got a reply!!-yipeeee.
"She's an eyeful on the alley"- data.select.party

VERSE>
"tonight calls for whores just to talk to,
it's fight night and your girl prefers to,
tap shoes to dance tunes that we do,
so light up the floor boy and she'll choose!"

CHORUS>
"i love the way that you coordinate your shoes with your hair,
the way the focus shifts on everything you say when you said...Oh

it's the weekend..."

REPEAT VERSE>
CHORUS>
BREAKDOWN>
CHORUS>

"It's the weekend" -gets repeated many times throughout the song.

Mood Board

We decided to create a mood board in order to present a better understanding of what we wanted to achieve visually in our video. You can see that the colours are quite bleak in some places but quite vivid in others - overall though there is heavy saturation and high contrast.

The mood board also depicts both the ruffians (the guy in a hoody; the people leaning against the wall in the dark; the people lying in the rough flat) as well as the party people (the photo taken from channel 4's skins; and the girl in the pink makeup).

The band photo does not necessarily give an impresion of what the band might look like but we liked the setting surrounding them. Also we have placed a street setting in the top left corner of the board, which we hope to include.

Review of Music Video from last year.

Videos we feel we can relate to this project

ILL SCARLETT - ONE-A

This video has a good example of the 'party' setting we hope to recreate within our video
(although ours would involve less people)




ILLSCARLETT - NOTHING SPECIAL

This video features some good use of slow motion and experimental filming techniques. We also like the use of strobe lighting in the video.




GOLDIE - TEMPER TEMPER

This video shows how we would like to portray the 'ruffians' in our video.
(not so crazy, though)

Pitch

The first thing we notice about this song is the almost schizophrenic difference between the chorus and the verse. The song swaps between being sung in an aggressive, group of thug like, style and a more melodic, upbeat, organized fashion.

We intend to capitalize on this and split the video into two separate narratives following two different groups. For the more aggressive parts of the song, a group of 'ruffians' will be showing being violent and and disorderly. Juxtaposed by a second group of more causal and friendly mates having a good time who are shown when the song takes on its happier tone.

The video will split between the two groups throughout the different parts of the song as they progress through their days. Such as when the ruffians are walking down the streets and abusing passers by. Being that "Its the weekend" is the most predominant lyric, the setting of this song will be on the typical friday/saturday night out.

Nearer the end of the song, shots will be mirrored between the two groups. For example; as one of the mates passes a beer to the other, the shot would cut to a fist replacing the beer as one of the ruffians hits another person or as a ruffian throws a beer towards a wall, a pillow hits one of the mates in the face.

To make the video more interesting, we will use fast and slow motion in between lyrics so that people can do surreal (awesome) things. Such as right after a line in the chorus, one of the ruffians rapidly moves right up to the camera to show how threatening they are.

Throughout the beginning of the song, small clips of a band performing will be shown until end/breakdown in the song when they are the main focus. The band will be performing in an abandoned/worn down establishment to fit the instrumental aesthetic of the song.

The two groups will be shown with the band by the end of the song either having a good time (or being violent).
