Synopsis

After listening to the song several times we decided that a main theme that would run throughout our music video would be drugs. The reason for this is that the main lyric said in the chorus is ''can't afford to feed your addition'' which could easily be related to drugs (or possibly a girl/love). Therefore we came up with the following idea...

The focus of the video will be split into two parts, one will be the band playing on top of a hill and the second will be flashbacks of someone taking heroin. For the flashbacks to work and look effective we will be using the black and white affect which will allow the audience distinguish between the narrative and the band. In order for our band to play on top of the hill we will need a generator, lighting and the bands equipment.

At the beginning we will start with the band making there way up the top of the hill before they set up the equipment. This will be done in a montage of clips showing extreme close ups of the guitar being plugged into the amplifiers, the drums being set up etc.

Then we will have a flashback into a POV shot of someone burning heroin (brown sugar) on a spoon in a bath room. This will then change to a medium/ long shot of him tying tubing around his arm which fades into a close up of his injecting the heroin.

Then throughout the video we will have different shots of the story unfolding with him becoming enraged with anger, throwing bottles around, trashing the bath room...

While all this is happening we will be switching/cutting between the black and white shots of the narrative and the live shots of the band playing on top of a hill (possibly Pendle)

Finally the ending of the song will either be the actor getting ride of his drugs by burying them or going back to the same POV shot at the beginning, however this time instead of the spoon and drugs it's going to be him burning a picture of a girl which ties in with the connection with love and drugs.
