Initial Idea

On our first meeting, we all sat together and Georgina told us that she had already thought of what we could do. Her idea was based on telling a story rather than having a performance of the song

The idea was about this girl who is normal and healthy but is feeling different. So she would do everyday things, and the difference would be is that she is always wearing a clown mask. In order for this to be clear, there would be shots of her during the day, when she is in a routine with the clown mask on. For example, when she is brushing her teeth and having breakfast, she would do so in a clown mask. The shots shown would be fast so that not too much time is taken, yet the viewer still understands that this is something which the girl does every day.

The video would also include shots of the girl being different from everybody else, in all aspects of her life. Weather she was at work, on the train, walking, at a party; she is always lonely and constantly picked on. The obvious reason for her being different is due to the clown mask which is something seen to be part of her life which she cannot get rid of, no matter how hard she tries.

The next day she wakes up to find a party invitation on her bed side table and she decides to attend the party. As usual, she is by herself and many people are laughing at her, in the clown mask. At the party there is a group of people who take the girl outside and start beating her up. During this, they attempt to take her mask off to see who she is and what she is trying to hide. They are able to rip it off and leave both her and the mask face down on the side of the road.

There is then another character which offers to help the girl, who looks shockingly up at the camera. It is then that we see that it is a person who is also wearing a clown mask, implying that they are in a similar if not the same situation as the girl. They both walk of down the street together, with their masks on.
