Final Proposal for "Red lights Indicates doors are secure" by Arctic Monkeys.

The song i have chosen to do is "Red lights indicate doors are secure" by Arctic Monkeys the link for the song is at the bottom of the page, the reason i have chosen a new song is due to the fact that "Emily' Heart" by Jamie T was too slow paced and bot hmyself adn my teacher were concerned with filling the time with different and varied interesting shots. The main idea i have had for the video is to basically play out the lyrics in the song, but by using a narrative style to be the driving force throughout  the piece . I am looking to use a Point Of View shot throughout nearly all the video, much like the "Smack my bitch up" video by The Prodigy see also the beginging of the video Like a G6, by Far East Movement. I am thinking of having the lyrics being sung into the camera almost like he is talking to him about incidents going on throughout the night, like a real night-out.

The idea i have is mostly based around a lads night out and is mainly based around the lad culture of drinking a lot and causing trouble, look at the video below from the "Football factory" at 0.18 seconds. As the lyrics are being said i am also going to have some of them being played out in a flashback, like the fight scene at the taxi rank at around 1:30 in the song, i would love to use an effect to make it look like CCTV footage to give the video a gritty feeling, look again at the Football factory video but at 2:15 this time. also with the effects of alcohol taking a heavy toll on the POV i would love to use an effect to distort some of the shots, much like the Marilyn Manson video, also i have taken a look at some shots in Lock Stock And Two smoking Barrels for inspiration, both of these shots use a great effects and capture the mood and vibe brilliantly, one uses a snorri cam shot which i would love to use also, as it gives the impression of drunkness, see also Mean Streets snorri cam shot and also Dust Devil video by Madness. I am hopig for a very stylised look to the video, taking inspiration from directors like, Martin Scorsese, Quentin Taratino( his corpse and trunk POV shots used throughout his films which is like you are the corpse or the trunk and also his black and white shots used in kill bill, and what has become known as the God's Eye POV shot, which is like a birds eye view, i would very much like to get this for my CCTV camera footage shot), Oliver Stone ( POV shot used in Natural Born Killers), Guy Ritchie and Nick Love. These can be found at the bottom of the page. I want the style of the video to be both gritty but also vibrant and also humorous in places with a hint of aggression throughout.

Two Examples of Quentin Tarantino's God's Eye POV shot, one from Jackie Brown and the other      
from Kill Bill, and also an example of the trunk POV shot from Pulp Fiction  :

The locations i am hoping to get are a bar area, like a pub or something of the sort, and also a taxi cab, as a lot of the song is sung while in one or waiting for one, i would also like to haev a lot of neon lights present to reinforce the vibrant nature and look of the video, as a lot of British dramas, E.G. This is england, make places look very bleak, i do not want to do this as i think the gritty british style has been used to death, look at the vibrantness of the trailer below of The Firm, the neon lights and colourful clothes make it stand out I think they can be accomplished especially the cab as i have a friend who's dad is a cab driver. i would also like to film outside on a highstreet and an estate where the video starts. The costumes i am hoping for are smart jeans and shirts, almost what a bloke wears when he is going for a night out, either this is or a more indie look with Fred Perry polos etc.
