Half past twelve
And I'm watching the late show in my flat all alone
How I hate to spend the evening on my own
Autumn winds
Blowing outside my window as I look around the room
And it makes me so depressed to see the gloom
Is there a man out there
Someone to hear my prayer
Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight
Won't somebody help me chase the shadows away
Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight
Take me through the darkness to the break of the day
Movie stars
Find the end of the rainbow, with a fortune to win
It's so different from the world I'm living in
Tired of T.V.
I open the window and I gaze into the night
But there's nothing there to see, no one in sight
Is there a man out there
Someone to hear my prayer
Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight
Won't somebody help me chase the shadows away
Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight
Take me through the darkness to the break of the day
Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight
Won't somebody help me chase the shadows away
Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight
Take me through the darkness to the break of the day
Is there a man out there
Someone to hear my prayer
Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight
Won't somebody help me chase the shadows away
Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight
Take me through the darkness to the break of the day

I have chose to do the song "Gimme Gimme Gimme" sung by Amanda Seyfried because i thought it would be a good idea to change a old video into something that will be enjoyed by modern day youths.
I am working with Beth Rashbrook, and together we have a formed a girl band, which is made of four girls.
The song is about relationships and finding a man. I think this is a good theme as most girl band songs are based on love and men, which seem to sell well in the music industry, especially with teenage girls.

Costume Ideas.At the beginning of the video, we were going to introduce the group members wearing a black dress with different colour tights or/and belt.
Each girl will have a colour most suited to their personality and will be represent by their colour, like the saturdays.
Going out dresses can be worn during the video to connote nights out trying to attract men.

This is the image we are going for. We want our music video to look very girl based.We are using close ups on the band members applying make-up at the beginning to show them getting ready to go out and have a good time and to attract men.
We want to show friendship between the members to connote friendliness and girl power. We will show this by being in shots together and singing as a group, aswell as having shots of us on our own to show we are individuals and although we work together we can still stand on our own two feet,like girls aloud. We want to each have a colour to represent each of us, like the Saturdays, to show our individal personalities and to show everyone that we are all different and unique in our own ways.
The band is about friendship and believing that girls are just as equal as men. They believe in karma, what goes around comes around and believe that men who treat girls badly will get what they deserve. They believe in loyalty and have great trust for each other.
