Kill The Lights Video Concept

Here's an idea I have for Brit's song "Kill the Lights". It's not a complete idea, but it's something I thought of while listening to the song. The concept includes the songwriters (Nate "Danja" Hills, Marcella "Ms. Lago" Araica) and Brit's friend Keri Hilson. I'll update when I get more details in my mind.

CLUB SCENE = The club scene is like the one in Christina Aguilera's "Ain't No Other Man." The paparazzi are in the front of the stage watching Britney's every move. This part of the video should be shot full frame. The (*) represents what is a club scene.

BEAUTY PARLOR = This is where Britney, Keri, Marcella are getting ready. This scene should be shot in a widescreen. (**) represent this scene.

STREET SCENE = This scene is where Britney and crew are dancing in the street with the paparazzi tagging along. Shot in full frame. (***) represent this scene.

LAIR SCENE= Whenever Keri and Marcella are saying "Pure. Satis. Faction." and "Lights. Camera. Action." Keri and Marcella have a white background for their lair and Britney has a black background.Britney's is used at the end of the video. Shot in widescreen. And only a headshot for Keri & Marcella. Britney has a little more than just a headshot. (****) rep. this scene.

CLUB COSTUMES: ALL girls are dressed like Christina Aguilera in "Ain't No Other Man" the one in the beginning or if you remember the MTV Movie Awards of 2006 like this:

But more of the outake Britney did for Circus right here:

Keri and Marcella's versions of their costumes are not as "poofed" up at the bottom. Hair is curled up or in a "wave" like Christina's in "ANOM" an have the little hat with the veil as shown here:

BEAUTY PARLOR/STREET/LAIR COSTUMES: Britney, Keri and Marcella are dressed in tight black dresses with ripped tights with black eyeliner for sure. Keri and Marcella have belts on their dresses. Keri with hot pink and Marcella with a light blue belt.

* DANJA INTRO: Starts out as a radio show with Nate as the DJ host and Keri and Marcella are the co-hosts with Britney as a guest. They put the head phones and it zooms out the CLUB SCENE, where Britney is front and center with Keri and Marcella as backup singers. Nate is at the DJ booth. Nate says: "Ladies and Gentlmen..." and as his intro proceeds the girls are getting their make up done on stage by make up artists. Britney says: "You're on...", Britney is on the stage singing with Keri and Marcella singing back up starting to feel the beat. "I think I'm ready for my close up" the camera zooms in on Britney then quickly zooms out to reveal the CLUB SCENE is a movie set.

* VERSE ONE: Britney's singing lead. Keri and Marcella are singing when the back vocals say "whoo". When the lyrics start with "In one ear and out the other I don't need ya", Brit has words going in one ear and out the other then the words disappear and Keri and Marcella do a flick-like hand movement. Onto "Your words don't stick / I ain't perfect either" Britney picks the labels off her skin and telling them she's not perfect. "If you're feeling froggy leap", Britney has a frog in her hand with a blanket and removes the blanket and the frog jumps out of her hand in the process of singing the lyrics. "I ain't even losin' sleep.." Britney removes the sleep mask that magically appeared over her eyes. "There's more to me than what you see" Britney has a kaleidoscope and looks through it and tosses it. "You wouldn't like me when I'm angry" Britney does a rolling arm movement downward and then the page rips onto the next scene.

** / *** BRIDGE: "Mr. Photographer...." Britney, Keri and Marcella are getting their make up done and then go out to an alley way where paps are. "I think I'm ready for my close up / Tonight " The girls frame their face at the top and bottom with their arms. Finally out to the street. "Make sure you catch me from my good side" the girls show a one side of their that looks amazing. "Pick one" and now the other doesn't look so good. "These other ha just wanna be me" the girls put their hands on their butt and jump to the side. "Is that money in your pocket or you happy to see me" the girls grab a paparazzi member get the money that's in the paparazzo's back pocket, spin them around and throw the money in their face.

**CHORUS: "Kill the lights / Take 'em out ..." Britney and crew are walking as the street lights are being "killed". "Pure. Satis. Faction..." A headshot of Keri saying "Pure." Cut to a headshot of Marcella saying "Satis." Then a headshot of both Keri and Marcella saying "Faction." Same thing when "Lights. Camera. Action."

*VERSE TWO: "All the flashin'..." Cut back to club scene where Britney is singing with Keri and Marcella as backup.

**REPEAT THE BRIDGE AND CHORUS SCENES.

**VERSE THREE: "You're the star now..." Britney and crew stopped in the street facing the paparazzi. Britney talking to the paparazzi.

**REPEAT THE CHORUS BUT MORE AMPED UP: I'll come up with more details later.

Feel free to tell me what you think.
