Superman by Barrie Gledden.

The song we have chosen is called Superman by Barrie Gledden. After looking through a suggested website for a song that the whole group liked we decided on this catchy, rocky girl ballad. We liked the Lyrics and we all had great ideas that we could use in our video to make it humorous and fun as the lyrics are very metaphorical and exaggerated.


As a group these are some of our initial ideas for our video, all different features that we thought would go with the narrative;

* Female looking for the right boyfriend.

* She goes on dates with a number of different boys from punks, to gangsters to
geeks, in the same restaurant, at the same time on different days!

* The scene in the restaurant remains the same but the boys change, and the
roses seem more wilted in each scene.

* But of course she chooses the best looking boy, but he ends up to be the most
big headed boy, and doesn’t really care about her.

* However, the Geek that she dated really likes her and is the ‘real superman’.
(He is seen in the background of most scenes wearing a baggy superman t-shirt)

* As the video goes on, the geek appears to be better looking.

* The girl begins to notice him again.

* After a number of awful dates with her new boyfriend she is bored and leaves
him, he doesn’t care as he is too busy looking at himself.

* Finally she gets with ‘Superman’!

* I also want the video to also include animated shots, which have been
influenced by legendary comics and Superman cartoons. For example, speech
bubbles and signs that stress the sounds.
