Brief Synopsis of Project:
A music video for the song ‘Just a Day’ by the British band Feeder.
The video will be a combination of performance and narrative footage that will reflect the lyrics of the song.

Perfomance: The video will pay tribute to the original official video for the song by having multiple bands performing the song. However, unlike the original, these bands will be filmed as if they are the primary band (using proper framing, steady-cam shots, individual performances and a range of interesting locations). This will be integrated with the Narrative.

Narrative: Following the storyline within the lyrics of the song, our video will feature a platonic teenage friendship between MALE and FEMALE where MALE has fallen into a dink and drug addiction that is tearing the friends apart. The narrative will thus link to the lyrics as if the words are the internal thoughts and feelings of MALE.
