Song Choice

Fire by

IdeaTwo smartly dressed men, wearing pig masks,

approaching a building and searching for an item of value. ‘I’m on fire’ relating to the excitement and thrill of burglary. An upbeat tempo, quick editing and a gripping narrative for the chorus help to illustrate the lyrics. Longer shots for the verses. The narrative will be entwined with a performance, with instruments being played and the pair coming across the band playing. The men being armed with a hammer and a sickle provide Soviet connotations, and this, coupled with the masks provide references to themes expressed in Orwell’s ‘Animal Farm’.

Genre and Why?Indie/rock - Indie rock allows us to incorporate and

experiment with narrative ideas whilst using performance elements

- Quick tempo results in an exciting story and thriller effect eg. Chasing and voyeurism

-Obscure camera angles-During our research, we found that these

factors will allow us to conform to genre conventions, while retaining originality.

Costumes

Robbers – pig masks. Formal attire (shirts, trousers, ties & overcoat/jacket). Smart black shoes.

Band – similar clothing, but less smart. (e.g. Undone buttons, baggy trousers)
