MeYou
" Tham "
The song
Press play, then read on.
MeYou - " ถาม "
MeYou and his love are going through a breakup. The film begins with the last time they were together. Its night time the couple are driving in the car and having a disagreement. MeYou Pulls the Car up to her condo front door, after a few words the girl clearly upset gets out of the car and walks away.
Cut to:
MeYou watching the scene we just saw. Shot for shot, we understand that he is viewing his own memory. After watching through, he rewinds by waving his hand across the screen. As the scene goes on we see he can pause, fast forward the memory as he swims in this memory.
The film is a visual representation of recalling memories. The idea that we keep moments and people with us forever however bittersweet they may be.

Performance
MeYou will run through performance of the song in 3 set ups.
For MeYou's performance, as he is recalling and replaying the moments of his breakup, I want to create and intimate and colourful environment.
We like the idea that he is watching his breakup moment on a Television or projector screen. Almost like a interactive movie of his own life, as he attempts to change the outcome.
In the Vignette we cover MeYou's Performance and also watch him replaying the moment he parted with his love.
1 - Alone in a room ( Ref the image to the right )
2 - In the loft scene where he is replaying the memory of the breakup.
3 - in the car from the breakup scene.
Breakup Scene
The film opens with the breakup. The scene spans from them driving in the car, pulling up to the condo and stepping out of the car before parting.
in addition to the scene MeYou will also perform in the car solo & with the girl.
I like the idea of having a rain machine, raining only on the car. Like some supernatural phenomenon as if a rain cloud is following him around. The car fills with water & steamy vapour as he drowns in his memory.
Alone in a room
From this scene, we're just looking for an intimate and beautiful performance of the song.
Covered primarily on steadi-cam or gimbal, lighting cues that can change colour in camera for variety in camera. This performance is reliable beautifully photographed performance that can be cut any throughout the video.
Projector & Rewind
MeYou is able to watch the last moments of his breakup, beyond that he can replay the moment over and revisit the last moments they shared together.
The space feels like an industrial loft, almost empty except for a couch and the projector screen. MeYou can gesture with his hands to pause, rewind and fast forwards moments like a supernatural VCR.
We will achieve this effect practically in camera by first filming the breakup scene and then playing it back on the projector. I like the idea of the "memory" having a VHS camera effect. This will be achieved by either transferring the footage to an old VHS or DV Camera and rewinding, or pausing on set.

*** ADDITIONAL IDEAS **
FILL THE CAR WITH WATER
as MeYou Performs the track we flood the car with water a sort of metaphor for how he's feeling short of air and running out of time.
TEXT MESSAGES ON SCREEN
Either in studio on glass or on the car window we project text messages of their breakup details on screen.
MeYou Performance in shallow water
In studio in very still reflective water MeYou performs the track tyring in with the water in the car.
