Our Final Script!

After detailed discussions on the new idea i've created a script outlining the exact story of our music video:

• Panda Wakes Up
• Short montage of him exercising, e.g. Sit-Ups, Weights, Pull Ups
• Panda dances accross bedroom
• Panda brushes teeth, uses deodrant, gels hair.....
• Panda dances down stairs and out the house
• Panda runs up to a bicycle and steals it, leaving a cheeky note saying 'I OWE YOU :)'
• Panda cycles through various terrains
• Panda runs off to the distance
• Panda purchases a newspaper
• Panda runs into the London Underground
• Panda gets on a train
• Panda reads newspaper looking puzzled
• Montage of Panda bored on train
• Panda's mood changes and he gets up and dances
• Cross-Cutting of various dance moves on train
• Panda leaves underground via elevator which we incorporate either before or after train
• Panda hails a bus and gets on a bus
• Panda is pulled by a car whilst on a skateboard
• Panda dances towards Greggs
• Panda realises he doesnt have enough money to buy food
• Panda busks with small ukelele
• Panda gets enough money and buys food
• Panda is happy and covered in crumbs
• Panda dances towards school
• Panda greets various people in the surrounding school area
• Panda gathers a crowd who run with him through the school
• Various shots of Panda/crowd running through the school
• They enter the dance gym
• Fades to a gym with 30+ people and the Panda who start a routine
• Lots of quick cuts throughout the routine
• Song ends, Panda leaves
• BYE PANDA!

As you can see it is a lot more engaging and much more effective compared with the original idea, we will have more than enough footage to use and i'm looking forward to the huge challenge ahead! :D

Final Idea!!!

Unfortunately the dancing Panda in park idea just didn't work for various reasons, for example we realised that sustaining the viewers attention for three minutes with just dancing was not enough. We also disliked the park setting and the idea just didnt work with the chosen song, the footage wasn't good/varied enough either.

So we went back to square one and after hours of delibeartion we've come up with a possible hit!

Our new idea involves a Panda's journey to school...almost humanifying (is that even a word?!) Pandas. This further develops the idea of absurdity and fun. So we decided that he'd wake up at his house, and then make his way through a variety of ingenious scenarios, putting him through hell and eventually getting him into school where we carry out a flash mob-esque dance routine for the final section of the song.

Possible Scenarios:

• Panda steals a bike and cycles away
• Panda goes to Greggs
• Panda gets on a bus
• Panda is pulled by a car whilst on a skateboard
• Panda buys breakfast
• Panda crosses zebra crossing with lollipop man
• LONDON UNDERGROUND section!
