Da Vinci Riot Police – George Ezra
George Ezra is an English singer/songwriter.
His top 10 songs, Budapest has launched his career and he is now known
globally. He says Bob Dylan and Woody Guthrie have been his main influences. George
Ezra is known for his extremely unique voice and his music is described as
“deep bluesy and mournful” He is most similar to artists such as James Bay and
Vance Joy. However his imagine is different and therefore desirable for a lot
of fans.
I would like to have someone driving
around, like the song they go in a cyclical narrative. Starting at the
beginning of the journey and finishing at the end. He is in worn out jeans and
an old shirt of some sort. Props would include a car and different setting such
as woodland, fields, different roads and maybe a city backdrop. (We could use
streets in Guildford, which hold all the different landscapes and locations.) The
idea that someone would be driving around and maybe reflecting on things. Contrasting with the singer (George) who would
be in simple room looking through a scrapbook of pictures of a road trip reminiscing.
Do add stylistic elements we could use lots
of snap shots of the car journey and the images from the scrap book to keep the
visual pace fast whilst the sound of the song remain pretty calm throughout. The
video fits into the track, as it is all they are both about journeying in life.
They therefore mirror each other and help represent them to an audience/listener.
George Ezra has a very soulful star
image and I think the video also links with that as there Is nothing over the
top about it, its basic but tells the story very well therefore matches George’s
chilled out take on music and life.
