A massive thankyou to the beautiful ~eckyducky. This is how we did it.
I read the lyrics of Pulp's 'You're not blind' to the actors. I selected their costumes and the space in which they perform. We played the song on loop and they improvised, triggered by the characters in the song. Instead of posing, we worked with a continuous line of action driven by the story, lyrics and music and I shot throughout.
I was so delighted with this manner of shooting. I'll definitely be trying it again and would love to try this as a model. It was tres exciting.
Please read the lyrics as this is the story the pictures are telling. You're not blind
I heard you take it lying down. Looking up at the ceiling and there's a rumour that she's been here again and that note on the shelf, she didn't even write it herself. You're not blind: you know what she's going to do. You're not blind: and who she's going to do it to. You're not blind: You can see where she's been by her eyes. You're not blind: but you'll wish that you were when you see her with me.
She says she has to take a bath every time that you touch her And it really makes her laugh when you give her those eyes. Don't you know its bad for your health? All those things you do to yourself. You're not blind: you know what she's going to do. You're not blind: and who she's going to do it to. You're not blind: You can see where she's been by her eyes. You're not blind: but you'll wish that you were when you see her with me.
If you've got such good taste why've you got that look on your face? There's no reason for tears 'cause this has been happening for years And it's so easy. Jesus! You're not blind: you know what she's going to do. You're not blind: and who she's going to do it to. You're not blind: You can see where she's been by her eyes. You're not blind: But when you see it you want to die. You're not blind: but you'll wish that you were when you see her with me.
