Merry HappyBy Kate Nash

Lyrics

Raechelle Jackson

Watching me like you never watch no oneDon't tell me that you didn't try and check out my bum

Cause I know that you didCause your friend told me that you liked it

Gave me those pearls and I thought they were uglyThough you try to tell me that you never loved me

I know that you did'Cause you said it and you wrote it down

Dancing at discosEating cheese on toast

Yeah you make me merry make me very very happyBut you obviously, you didn't want to stick around

Dancing at discosEating cheese on toast

Yeah you make me merry make me very very happyBut you obviously, you didn't want to stick around

So I learnt from youDo do do da do do do do do da do do do do do da do

So I learnt from youDo do do da do do do do do da do do do do do da do

I can be alone, yeahI can watch a sunset on my own

I can be alone, yeahI can watch a sunset on my own

I can be aloneI can watch a sunset on my own

I can be alone, yeahI can watch a sunset on my own

I can be alone, yeahI can watch a sunset on my own

I can be aloneI can watch a sunset on my own

Sitting in restaurantsThought we were so grown up

But I know now that we were not the peopleThat we turned out to be

Chatting on the phoneCan't take back those hours

But I won't regret'Cause you can grow flowersFrom where dirt used to be

Dancing at discosEating cheese on toast

Yeah you make me merry make me very very happyBut you obviously, you didn't want to stick around

Dancing at discosEating cheese on toast

Yeah you make me merry make me very very happyBut you obviously, you didn't want to stick around

So I learnt from youDo do do da do do do do do da do do do do do da do

So I learnt from youDo do do da do do do do do da do do do do do da do

I can be alone, yeahI can watch a sunset on my own

I can be alone, yeahI can watch a sunset on my own

I can be aloneI can watch a sunset on my own

(do do do da do do do do do da do do do do do da do)

I can be alone, yeahI can watch a sunset on my own

I can be alone, yeahI can watch a sunset on my own

I can be aloneI can watch a sunset on my own

(do do do da do do do do do da do do do do do da do)

Key

Red Lyrics I plan to illustrate according to the words

Purple Lyrics I plan to have unrelated to the song

Green Lyrics in which I plan to create a montage

Lyrics

Raechelle Jackson

So I learnt from youDo do do da do do do do do da do do do do do da do

So I learnt from youDo do do da do do do do do da do do do do do da do

I can be alone, yeahI can watch a sunset on my own

I can be alone, yeahI can watch a sunset on my own

I can be aloneI can watch a sunset on my own

I am planning on filming the first part on a bench with a group of people doing a continuous motion [e.g nodding their heads to the

beat]. I will then take away one person at a time which will leave me with the character on their own. So that “I can be alone, yeah” will fit

in with the lyrics. I will then film this on the beach

Dancing at discosEating cheese on toast

Yeah you make me merry make me very very happyBut you obviously, you didn't want to stick around

A short dance to this part to highlight the element of fun. This may be repeated several times throughout the video.

I can be alone, yeahI can watch a sunset on my own

I can be alone, yeahI can watch a sunset on my own

I can be aloneI can watch a sunset on my own

(do do do da do do do do do da do do do do do da do)

The montage will be good to reflect the theme of ‘Merry Happy’ and show some fun footage

Locations

The beachThis can be taken of the subject walking

across the beach and sitting at the side of the promenade to make the video more

interesting

Beach huts at SouthendStanding outside a bright beach-hut went

with the ‘Merry Happy’ idea as colours influence how the emotion of the video

was and made it more fun

The parkThis could be used to take footage on the swings, slides and roundabout. This could

also be used within the montage at the end

The pubThis was can be used for the

line ‘sitting in restaurants thought we were so grown

up’

Ideas One female miming the lyrics and exaggerating the features to highlight Kate Nash’s accent in her style of music

Mixture of up close and zoomed out shots to add variety

Have moving images like those that reflect her other videos. E.g the toothbrush moving in Foundations. This is a combination of photos put together quickly to make a moving image

Will be a collaboration of close up and zoomed out shots to show variation

Mixture of narrating the song and adding fun elements to go with the theme and title. This will be where a fun montage can fit in

The following page is a moodboard...
