Music Video Pitch

The SongThis song was an unreleased album track from ‘Kings and Queens’ in 2009. It is about a male character reflecting upon the past where things went sadly wrong. WhyWe brainstormed artists and bands, thinking of an indie genre or generally staying away from pop. Thinking of Noel Gallagher, Coldplay, Jamie T and decided this song had the best potential.

'Hocus Pocus' Jamie T

Annotated lyrics: Hocus Pocus Jamie T

Lyrics

The narrative will follow the performance of a young male with the storyBeing: “Same problems, different day”

It will include jump cuts of different scenes and locations when performance isn't takingPlace.

We’ll adapt the style of low-budget looking video’s producing it in local settings We plan to have one main male actor to play the role of the late teenage boy whois reflecting on his past and expressing his feelings through the song.
