As a group we've chosen to use the track Flyswatter by Eels. Our idea is to to a 'Tim Burton' inspired music video. Combining a circus/carnival feel with a haunted mansion involving a little girl like 'Alice in Wonderland'. We really feel that this idea would suit the mood of the song and portray our band with a cool, alternative image.
Possible treatment for Video:
There will deffinetly be a small pre roll at the beginning to set up the narrative. A little girl, possibly 'Girl Scout' goes to an old abandoned house in the middle of no where, to sell cookies. The Mad hatter opens the door and invites her inside, the music thens begins. The house is full of fairytale characters such as Cinderella, Pinocchio, Peter Pan, Prince Charming etc. And this house is where they all live when they are not fulfilling their fairy tales. The little girl explores the house in Amazement. We want the house to have a creepy yet humourous vibe to it. For example, two princesses are fighting over a tiara and Captain Hook is in the bath playing with little toy boats. There will also be a mad hatter tea party happening in the dining room which soon turns into a food fight!
A have a few possible endings to the video.... The girl could get scared all of a sudden and just run out of the house screaming. Or she could eat a poisonous apple and die.
Through out the video the band members will be playing around the house and the mad hatter is the lead singer.
