The Lightening Seeds-Lucky You
This song has the same feel as Female of the Species and uses a main theme of performance which, develops the idea that these alternative bands are more about performance element and marketing themselves rather than a narrative. The video is extremely low budget but effective. We want to go with a low budget look because, as many critics say high budgets with masses of effects loses quality of narrative and becomes an on screen kaleidoscope which as a group we strongly want to avoid. There are many close ups of the main band member. This makes the main band member the story teller and the icon of the video which, we have decided to make of Tom. Making Tom the main band member and the protagonist of our narrative familiarises the audience with him and means that marketing will flourish in his name along with the bands. There are many aerial shots of the performance but because we don't obtain the technology to make these shots we will use a lot of movement shots- tracks, pans and crane shots.



Space/Cerys Matthews-Tom Jones Ballad
This again is similar to our song however, the duo battling with each other is what we similarly want for our own music video. Because Anna wont have any lyrics or singing parts in the song we will attempt to maximise her part in the narrative as much as possible so the audience can begin to familiarise with her as a character. The key point in this video is when Cerys Matthews tries to save Tommy Scott from falling off the cliff thus, the tables turning. We want to introduce a key point like this in our narrative so we may have Anna at the end of the song trying to seduce Tom again and as he rejects her, a true demonic female of the species comes out of her and she gets her way anyway playing along with the theme of the lyrics. The whole video is a sequence of close ups and extreme close ups of the couples hands as they fall from the car. We will use similar shots to show the importance of certain sequences such as a close up of the lock on the door as Tom comes in before he finds Anna cheating.
