Music Video Idea 2 // Forgive & Forget by The Kooks

My second music video idea is The Kooks song called Forgive & Forget.

The Kooks are a British band rock/indie band. They all play their own instruments and write their own songs. 

Their star image is indie and like Hozier they seem to care about their music more then their image. However you can see that they want to portray the "indie" image.

Bands similar to them are: The Libertines, Arctic Monkeys, The Lost Patrol and The 1975

My Idea:

At the beginning of the video band playing in a room with lights on them (a typical music video set up) and the camera does close ups of them playing instruments, the camera also does lots of panning shots of the band. The band are all playing their own instruments and the lead singer will constantly move around and sing to the camera.

During this performance the video will cut between a story of a couple. The story relates to the song as the man is bored of the relationship so he is telling her: "You say you need someone to love her but it ain't me". However, the girl is clingy and keeps following him around.

You will see the couple doing everyday things: shopping, sitting on the sofa, in a restaurant. However, the man will look bored all the time will singing the lyrics that relate to the moment. This will cut between the band playing the song. This video will be light hearted and fun just as the song is.

This video idea fits in with the track because its about a relationship not working out and the man wants to move on from the relationship.
The video fits in with the band image because you see them play their instruments which is a big part of the band, this is one of the Kooks more upbeat and fun songs so this can be represented in the video to show a different side to the band.
