Second Initial Idea

Just Jack- Embers

Star Image: Artist- no band. Indie/Arthouse/Trendy/Alternative

Similar to Just Jack, perhaps a less extreme Pete Doherty (with a similar 'rock and roll' image). Slightly edgey/indie/similar image to previous idea. A look based on Alex Turner and in the syle of the XX.

Leather jacket, skinny jeans, buttoned up polo shirts, chelsea boots, an "unwashed" look(not 'clean cut').

The song consists of the same artist singing all the vocals and harmonies therefore I vision the video to show singing all the vocals and harmonies, therefore I vision the video to show duplicates of the same artist singing each part. It would open with the lone artist clapping to the beat and singing the first part, as different vocals/harmonies come in, duplicates of himself would appear behind him etc. He could perhaps spin round so that the audience expect a new person behind him however it reveals him again singing a new part of the song (similar in the Maccabes-Love You Better). It would cross-cut with the four duplicates sitting round a campfire (festival-esq) singing each harmony. The fire represents the lyrics in the song. When the word 'Embers' is repeated the artist could drop cue cards which say 'Embers'- similar to Bob Dylan's 'Don't Look Back'. The artist is the only person in the video- this puts stress on him and gives him the full audience attention.
