What A Life lyrics

Lyrics Noel Gallagher lyrics - AKA... What A Life lyrics


The lyrics to the song of 'What A Life' have enabled us to create ideas of potential shots, as the song uses basic equipment such as an acoustic guitar and Noel's voice we can have shots with our artist with a guitar miming to the song.

The lyrics "chasing down that rainbow" and "take this tiger out for a ride" have given us ideas for shots such as the hustle and bustle of London streets, with people commuting to and from work. This may prove difficult as some places such as Rail Stations may not allow us to film inside, due to security reasons. However we will ask for permission and if we can take some shots in a rail station it may be a possibility for the video.

The chorus of the song could possibly sho

w people of London going about their daily routes and work. As the line "what a life" could show other peoples lives in relation to our performers life or just what he witnesses during his time in the city. This could range from the shoppers in Oxford Street to people living on the streets. We have not yet decided what time of day to film the shots, however we all like the idea of starting the video at dawn and ending the video at dusk, this will therefore show continuity and have a simple flow to go with the lyrics.

Another shot when "what a life" is sung could be part performance, with our artist miming the words within the streets or other location we choose. The image we may portray of our artist could be a busker, as we feel a busker in London will see many different people and experience different types of life as London is full of unique people. The shots could include Point Of View shots from passers-by who are watching the busker, this could create a sense of voyeurism.

Other lyrics to the song such as "maybe you dream" could show people with a facial expression

showing they are thinking about their life, and maybe how they want a more fulfilling life. This

could include someone after work or on a lunch break at a cafe or bar, thus portraying an idea of regret or sorrow during the song. A person with their face in their hands I feel would be an affective shot for this lyric as it easily shows despair or a high level of stress.
