The Idea

The song that the video will be created for is Dance like an Animal, a novelty kids song by the artist Eric Herman. This video therefore needs to be fun and entertaining as it is a novelty song. The idea for the video is to have an opening narrative, in which someone audition s in a Britain’s got Talent style audition in front of three judges, as a dancer. He will get rejected for his ridiculous dancing, and will leave the room. The main actor will then walk out to the street where he will be joined by a serious of people, dressed in animal costumes, linking the video to the song. The video will then see the animals dancing in town, and attempting to get other people to join in with them, thus giving the video a sense of reality within the surreal nature of seeing people dancing in animal costumes. The video will hopefully include members of the public dancing in a serious of locations, whilst the animals will also be dancing around town, particularly in the chorus of the song. The main purpose of the song is the same of any music video, to raise awareness to the public of the song, but mainly to sell copies of the record
