Post 32: PLANNING: Sound
SOUND
The song we are using for our music video: 'I'll try anything for once' - By The Strokes
LYRICS
Below are the lyrics of the song we want to use. Even though the lyrics tell a story of a romantic relationship, and our story is about two sisters and their friendship, we think that the sentiment is about love as a whole and the music video would overlook the difference.
WHAT IS DIEGETIC SOUND? – Diegetic sound is any sound presented as originated from source within the film’s world. Diegetic sound can be either on screen or off screen depending on whatever its source is within the frame or outside the frame.
ARE YOU PLANNING ON USING DIEGETIC SOUND IN YOUR MUSIC VIDEO? – I think it has crossed our minds that it could look appropriate in our music video, if done right. I think it would be most successful in the opening or ending scene in my opinion because then you don’t have to overlap the song which can over-complicate things.
WHAT SORT OF DIEGETIC SOUND WOULD YOU USE? – If we did decide to use diegetic sound we would probably do the sounds of the characters walking on the gravel on the beach or clinking glasses together when inside. This will bring out a more realism between the characters and make it seem not as staged as some music videos may look. However, this option may change when we are editing, in the final stages.
ARE YOU GOING TO USE LIP-SYNCING IN YOUR MUSIC VIDEO? – Because it is a form and convention of music videos in general, as well as the performance aspect, we don't want to use lip-syncing in our music video, mainly because we want to challenge this convention. We also want to tell a story and we think this would pull the audience out of it, almost reminding them that it's not a true story.
LYRICS
[Verse 1]
Ten decisions shape your life
You'll be aware of five about
Seven ways to go through school
Either you're noticed or left out
Seven ways to get ahead
Seven reasons to drop out
When I said, "I can see me in your eyes"
You said, "I can see you in my bed"
That's not just friendship, that's romance, too
You like music we can dance to
[Chorus]
Sit me down, shut me up
I'll calm down and I'll get along with you
[Verse 2]
There is a time when we all fail
Some people take it pretty well
Some take it all out on themselves
Some they just take it out on friends
Oh, everybody plays the game
And if you don't you're called insane
[Bridge]
Don't, don't, don't, don't, it's not safe no more
I've got to see you one more time
Soon you were born
In 1984
Ten decisions shape your life
You'll be aware of five about
Seven ways to go through school
Either you're noticed or left out
Seven ways to get ahead
Seven reasons to drop out
When I said, "I can see me in your eyes"
You said, "I can see you in my bed"
That's not just friendship, that's romance, too
You like music we can dance to
[Chorus]
Sit me down, shut me up
I'll calm down and I'll get along with you
[Verse 2]
There is a time when we all fail
Some people take it pretty well
Some take it all out on themselves
Some they just take it out on friends
Oh, everybody plays the game
And if you don't you're called insane
[Bridge]
Don't, don't, don't, don't, it's not safe no more
I've got to see you one more time
Soon you were born
In 1984
[Chorus]
Sit me down, shut me up
I'll calm down and I'll get along with you
[Verse 3]
Everybody was well dressed
And everybody was a mess
Six things without fail you must do
So that your woman loves just you
Oh, all the girls played mental games
And all the guys were dressed the same
Why not try it all
If you only remember it once?
Oooh ooooooh
[Chorus]
Sit me down, shut me up
I'll calm down and I'll get along with you
Sit me down, shut me up
I'll calm down and I'll get along with you
[Verse 3]
Everybody was well dressed
And everybody was a mess
Six things without fail you must do
So that your woman loves just you
Oh, all the girls played mental games
And all the guys were dressed the same
Why not try it all
If you only remember it once?
Oooh ooooooh
[Chorus]
Sit me down, shut me up
I'll calm down and I'll get along with you
