    The document outlines a proposed narrative, locations, and inspirations for a music video. The narrative follows an artist writing a song about a girl named Kate that he has a crush on. Scenes would show Kate going about her daily life in an unglamorous way to comedically undermine the artist's romanticized view of her. Shooting would take place at home, outdoors, and in a garden to show Kate and perform the song. The video takes inspiration from Weezer's 'Take On Me' video in style and following a story.

    Annotation of lyrics
    She plays wipe out on the drums
    The squirrels and the birds come
    Gather around to sing the guitar
    Oh I... have you got nothing to say
    When all words fail she speaks​
    Her mix tape's a masterpiece​
    Walks through the garden​
    So the roses can see​
    Oh I... have you got nothing to say

    And you can see the daisies


    In her footsteps
    Dandelions, butterflies
    I want to be Kate
    Annotation of lyrics
    Everyday she wars the same thing
    I think she smokes pot
    She's everything I want, She's everything I'm not
    Oh. I...

    Have you got nothing to say


    She never gets wet
    She smiles and it's a rainbow
    Idea for props on each reiteration
    And she speaks and she breathes

    I see her around every couple days transition to the beat.
    I want to meet her so that
    I can say... hey Kate
    Narrative
    The main artist (our protaganist) is seen daydreaming and writing a song about a girl he has
    a crush on – eventually writing an anthem for this girl who he thinks is attractive and cool.
    He performs with his bandmates as different shots of the girl he has a crush on ("Kate")
    show her day-to-day life. The only thing that is "cool" about her is the fact she stands out in
    a crowd, and it will be revealed to the audience over the course of the music video how
    romanticised his idea of Kate is, with comedic twist to show how ordinary she actually is. 
    The deterioration of him being able to find any reasons why he actually likes Kate will be
    demonstrated in a comedic way, because in reality he just finds her attractive.
    The music video will have a consistent use of sketchbooks and scribbled writing to show
    the teenage like infatuation the main artist has
