'Do My Thing' Current Rough Idea


  • Lab setting
  • People on production lines, in plain tank tops/ vest and shorts
  • Given black boiler suits to wear and all hair is styled the same
  • Empty space of some sort (studio) where all the people from the production line are in rows
  • One person, carrying clipboard, uptight personality, stereotypical, goes inbetween rows checking each person for "imperfections"
  • Shots of him walking around with cut aways to beauty shots and salt and pepper shots of a particular person, not revealing who it is but showing small distinctive features, eyes, hair, nails, accessories, clothing
  • He reaches one particular person (who is the person we've been cutting away to), looks her up and down disapprovingly, he thinks she is "imperfect"
  • She starts singing the lines "hey hey hey hey" (start of song) in his face, going right up to him and pushing him backwards
  • Shots of people around her, the others who were on the production line, subtly nodding their heads, tapping their fingers and feet in time with music
  • Man faints (also amplification of lyrics "hold your breath and concentrate, keep holding till your face turns blue") because of singer pressuring him
  • Other people realise he's fainted and they start 'breaking ranks'
  • Hair, clothes change and tattoos, make up, accessories appear while they're dancing/ doing whatever they want, this group are not necessarily dancers, they just want to have the freedom of doing what they choose
  • Constant cut backs, beauty shots, salt and pepper shots of the singer who started the rebellion and another singer who has joined in 
  • Singer/s with the dancers, in a separate room, possibly plain apart from confetti? all over the floor and in the air, where they are dancing
  • Choreographed dance in contrast to the production line people who are just a big mix of skills
  • Near end of video, the man who was checking for imperfections wakes up, everyone is back in their boiler suits and standing in lines again
  • It all looks normal again but the people smirk to each other behind the man's back as he continues checking people
