Alphabeat Live in Birmingham

On the 18th of October Alphabeat played live at the Birmingham Arena. I studied the way they performed on stage so I would be able to direct my actors accordingly.

I noticed that the male singer was incredibly lively when he performed. He was holding a tambourine and using large arm movements where he often 'flung' his arm over his head in an energetic manner. He also jumped around in front of his microphone. When I film my video I will direct my actor to behave in this manner, I will do this by showing the actor clips of the way he moves in order for him to understand the way he should perform. I will also direct him to act in this way when shooting.

I noticed the the female singer was less lively when she performed. She kept her arms to her side and stepped to either side in time with the music. When i film my video i will do the same as with my male actor and show the actor performing the way she acted on stage in order to gain a similar performance style.

My inspiration for the dance in chorus one

10,000 Nights Lyrics

I was not looking for arty farty love
I wanted someone to love completely
Someone more than weekly

I was looking for a decent boy
For a tender glance
For a safety dance

The wuthering heights
And the stormy nights

You give me 10.000 nights of thunder
But I will give them all back to you
'Cause you're so uhh, so ahh, so cool.

You came like a thief in the night and stole my heart
Like a solitude erasure
Like an elevator

I know we'd do anything for love
And it is you and me
For all eternity

The wuthering heights
And the stormy nights

You give me 10.000 nights of thunder
But I will give them all back to you
'Cause you're so uhh, so ahh, so cool, Baby you're so super-supremely-ba-ba-di-oh
It feels like 10.000 nights of thunder
When I've spend one with you
You're so uhh, so ahh, so cool
Baby you're so super-supremely-ba-ba-di-oh

Baby baby you're irresistible and I'm insatiable
Yeah love is an ocean of sweet emotion

You give me 10.000 nights of thunder
But I will give them all back to you
'Cause you're so uhh, so ahh, so cool, Baby you're so super-supremely-ba-ba-di-oh
It feels like 10.000 nights of thunder
When I've spend one with you
You're so uhh, so ahh, so cool
Baby you're so super-supremely-ba-ba-di-oh
You give me 10.000 nights of thunder
But I will give them all back to you
You're so uhh, so ahh, so cool, Baby you're so super-supremely-ba-ba-di-oh.
You're so uhh, so ahh, so cool, Baby you're so super-supremely-ba-ba-di-oh , You're so uhh, so ahh, so cool
