Examples of other texts- Benny Hill style



 We recently included a shot in our storyboard that involved Steve in a monkey costume chasing Georgia in a banana costume and I immediately pictured what I wanted it to look like. I could picture the classic Benny Hill theme that was used for his sketches when he would be seen chasing women around.



The video I found above of one of his famous sketches doesn't use the same infamous tune, but that doesn't particularly matter because the music in the shot will obviously be our chosen song, Little Comets- One Night In October. The short sketch shows him attempting different ways to impress women and essentially chasing them. The technique I had pictured in my mind when making the section of the chase in our video is the chase would be sped up and they'd be running back and forwards, on and off screen and in all sorts of directions.

I also think these Benny Hill sketches are full of energy and fun, which I know I keep mentioning a lot, but I really want that idea of the band being full of young spirit and slightly mischievous and incorporated this idea could boost that idea!

Music videos where this sketch, or inspiration from this sketch has taken place in can be found in various music videos. This clip I have chosen has been taken from Blur's video for Country House. Here it sticks to the same idea of a male chasing females, with them running in all sorts of directions and the shots are sped up.
