Just A Day: The Pause

NOTE TO SELF: Do not look at the original music video for "Just A Day"(for now). It is easy to be swayed by the original's ideas and unconsciously copy them!

Below is a video of the song we will use (which will DEFINATELY be Just A Day!)



At exactly 1:16 of the song, there is a pause. We thought it would be really creative to expand this pause and have a 10 second clip of something funny, (to match the lighter pop-rock genre and the up-beat melody that makes this song different from conventional rock songs). This 'something funny' thing could be...

• Part of the narrative - protagonists could have an arguement and this will be heard by the audience as the song has stopped - could script the dialogue to be funny and have intertextual references?
• Part of the performance - band members could have a random conversation? Script? Random fight?
• "Breaking the fourth wall" - both performers and actors from the narrative could talk TO the audience?

As mentioned in another post, this idea's main inspiration was from Ok Go's music video for "Get Over It". (Below)

At 1:57 there is a completely random ping pong game!!! This is humurous. Very humourous because the song is at its climax and the performers are rocking out, and then they surprise the audience and break music video conventions with this. I also feel, this kind of 'randomness' represents our style as a group and suits the quirky directional aesthetic I mentioned in earlier posts.
