The shot of Courtenay doing a cartwheel across the iconic Abbey Road zebra crossing shows that the band are fun, energetic and

don’t take themselves too seriously.

Page 2: Media   stills

The shot of the band running at the camera breaks the forth wall, and includes the audience. It also adds to the energetic

impact of the film.

The animation of the stars and moving yellow stripes adds to the psychedelic

and quirky aspects of the film.

The black and blue moving stripes around the band on Abbey Road adds to the psychedelic affect of the film. The shot of Abbey Road acts as an intertextual reference as fans will recognise the iconic image.

Page 5: Media   stills

This shot is an imitation of the Beatles running down the road in “A Hard Days Night”, and therefore acts as a shared context with fans. We put it in black

and white to look exactly like the Beatles version.

The shot of Sophie and Courtenay in front of the Beatles adds to the quirkiness of the film, and pays reference to

our idols. By having Sophie and Courtenay laughing shows the laid-

back and fun nature of the group.

The dancing dwarf is a quirky character for the film.

Page 8: Media   stills

The long shot of the band members dancing in a circle shows you the closeness of the

three members. The yellow tint makes the video more trippy.

Page 9: Media   stills

The close-up shot of Courtenay laughing makes her closer to the audience, and we therefore feel more

affection for her. By having her come out of her “serious” pose and start laughing, we are showing

the light-heartedness of the group and video.

The zoom-in shot of Sophie and Courtenay outside the café “Paul” adds

to the energy and movement of the film.

The distorted shot of Courtenay adds to the hallucinogenic feel of the

video.

The three-way split screen is a convention of many modern music videos. By having the black and

orange stripes go through the characters, we are making the mis-en-scene trippy and psychedelic. Sophie is doing the peace sign as this is something

the group believes in, and gives further shared context with our audience.

After the band walk across the crossing, this shot shows them laughing, talking and adjusting their

masks. The audience therefore gets to see the true personalities of the band members when they’re not

performing.

These psychedelic colours are often used when demonstrating acid trips, or

psychedelic 1960s scenes. We used them to assist the hallucinogenic feel of the video.

Page 15: Media   stills

The split screen is a common convention of modern day music

videos.

Page 16: Media   stills

The use of dramatic makeup makes our film more quirky and was inspired to us by our

influential artists such as Panic! At the Disco, and Paul McCartney.

Page 17: Media   stills

Shots of Sophie lip-synching with the animated Beatles walking behind her act as

further reference to our idols, and add to the 60s/psychedelic feel of the music video.

Page 18: Media   stills

The animation and sickly green mirror image make this shot truly

hallucinogenic.

Page 19: Media   stills

The close up of Courtenay getting hit with a snowball make the band

appear fun and playful.

Page 20: Media   stills

The footage of Sophie and Courtenay screaming for the Beatles is in black and

white to make it look like authentic 1960s footage.

Page 21: Media   stills

The split screen shows Sophie lip-synching, while Courtenay hands out flowers for

peace. The trippy, hallucinogenic background makes it more hippy-like and

psychedelic.

Page 22: Media   stills

The HA shot of Courtenay crying is quirky and unusual.

Page 23: Media   stills

The shot of Sophie’s head on Courtenay’s shoulder shows the closeness and affection of the band that they are trying to project.

Page 24: Media   stills

The policemen reflect what is being said in the lyrics. The bright luminous lights against

the dark background acts as further psychedelia.

Page 25: Media   stills

The wacky, quirky, psychedelic backgrounds behind Sophie, alongside the hippy-

sunglasses give the film a true 1960s feel.
