Seeing as we're now starting to think about The Script a bit more, I thought id just post up some links with the tracks from the album. Some of them already have videos, but are still worth a look if you haven't seen them yet just so you can get an idea off what kind of stuff they produce and how they market themselves etc. But have a listen to the tracks that don't have videos to see if anything jumps out other than Before The Worst and If You See Kay. Let me know what you think =)
The Script:
We Cry - The 1st single to be released from the album (April 28, 2008). Already has a video.
The Man Who Can't Be Moved - The 2nd single to be released from the album (July 28, 2008). Already has a video.
Breakeven - The 3rd single to be released from the album (November 24, 2008). Already has a video.
Talk You Down - Not released as a single yet. No video. Starts off quite slow but builds up to a faster pase. Would be a good song to use with some narrative and performance.
Rusty Halo - Not released as a single yet. No video. Fast pase song which I can imagine having mainly performance shots. Might work quite well with some 'wacky' shots of the band or creative editing or other post production techniques.
The End Where I Begin - Not released as a single yet. No video. Quite a slow song but there's a faster build up bit in the middle. Again, I think it would work quite well with some narrative and performance. Or maybe even an auteur style of video..?
Fall For Anything - Not released as a single yet. No video. Fast Pase song which I can imagine having some fast pase editing to match it such as undercranking. Near the end it begins to slow down and sound quite dream like which would go well with blurred shots with the camera swurving or something similar.
If You See Kay - Not released as a single yet. No video. As disgussed, would be a great choice, easy to make a video to (with narrative and performance). Maybe some shots of someone walking down a street looking for Kay, similar to that in The Man Who Can't Be Moved. This could be mixed with performance shots of the band on stage/in a studio.
I'm Yours - Not released as a single yet. No video. I don't think the track is right for what we are looking at doing based on the discussions we've had and the song choices that have been brought up but it's still an example of how The Script are a good choice based on the fact that making a video to any of their tracks is achievable.
Anybody There - Not released as a single yet. No video. Like 'I'm Yours', I don't really think this track is what we are looking for but is still worth listening to so that you can get an idea of some of the other stuff they produce in order to understand how they construct their image.
Before The Worst - Not released as a single yet. No video. One of my favourite tracks from the album and, in my opinion, an excellent choice as it would work really with some narrative and performance. I can imagine shots working with this video both out on location and in a studio or on stage. We could also include some creative post production effects, such as text over the shots (like in Closer by Ne-Yo...worth a look if you haven't seen it) or any other techniques that we wish to include.
Having listened to the entire album myself, I personally think that the best tracks would be If You See Kay and Before The Worst. However, i still think that tracks such as Fall For Anything and Rusty Halo are possible options, let me know what you think =)

Before The Worst - i really like this song, is up tempo which will keep the audience interested and we can get a narrative performance from it. Like the idea of the closer vid.
ReplyDeleteIf you see Kay - I do also have various ideas with this song as i think we could make a really good narrative video. . . 1 part around a City (like the man who can't be moved. 2nd bit in a really remote area with barron land to empasise how lonely he is and then also some performance shots. I'm kinda feeling this . . .
That's my thoughts.
I think you are underestimating I'm yours...
ReplyDeleteIts a slow song but it really gets to you and has an impact.
I can easily imagine a video in which Danny would be serenading a girl or something to that effect. It can have a huge impact according to me, it gives me chills every time I hear this song.
