Down the road - C2C

The first shot could be a girl walking down a school hall and the camera following her. You could then see all the eyeline matches people are making and close ups of their facial expressions. They should all look judgemental and be smirking etc. The shot could then move to the front so you can see her face and she should look like a stereotypical nerd.

 

When the music slows down there should be an eyeline match between her and the ‘popular crowd’, there could be girls looking and whispering about her. There could then be a shot reverse shot between her and one of the ‘popular boys’ and she could blush and look down, insinuating that she thinks he’s hot. Someone could then throw something at her head and everyone could laugh apart from the boy.

 

When the music picks up she’s running back from school. She gets home and throws all her work and scrunchies in the bin. She snaps her glasses in half and straightens her hair… She then goes and puts on makeup and some nice clothes,

 

The final shot is her walking down the school hall, in the same style shot and everyone checking her out and winking at her. She comes to the end of the corridor and drops her books; the boy she thinks is hot leaves the popular group and helps her pick up her books. They make eye contact and it ends.

 

C2C is a French turntable group that was put together in 1998 and who specialise in remix/dance music. They have no lyrics in this song apart from ‘Down the road’ which leaves it up for interpretation. This could apply for my idea as the only times we see her in school she is walking down a corridor, more metaphorically she is going down a road as she is changing herself merely for popularity.

 

 

 

C2Cs image is basically dance music or remixes. The fact that we can't hear a normal human voice in their songs makes them appear almost unreachable or un-human. They are similar in a way to people like the Beastie boys.
