Don't Lie To Me

Concept

The song is about releasing tension. Since the terror attacks in Belgium, the cities are on high alert. People are tense. We need to show this tension though Scott and the people which make up the city.

We are not representing an opinion, we are simply showing the tension which is around us. At each scene we see a slight release of tension by each individual.

Intro, verse & first chorus

Scott will be walking down the street, showing his frustration . He will stop outside a building and light a cigarette. he will begin talking to our first character. This elderly person will be expressing his anger and frustration, the idea is for him to be talking about immigration but obviously that will not be heard. The frustration needs to be there. During the chorus we will be seeing this elderly person going on a total rant, at the of the chorus we will see the man stop shouting for a moment and give off a smile, as though he has released his tension and gotten something of his chest.

Scene 2

Second verse & second chorus

Scott puts out his cigarette and walks down to the metro. He gets his ticket and walks over to the train. As he is waiting for the train he sees the big army guy with his machine gun dangling. Then the second chorus will kick in, we will see the army guy staring straight at Scott. Then towards the second part of the chorus we will see the guy start to bounce his head along to the music. This will be his release of tension

Scene 3

Build, third chorus & ending

The third scene, during the build up, Scott comes out of the metro and walks over to the square. he sits down on a bench, The woman with a hijab comes and sits down next to him. Then at the end of the build a thief runs in and steals the woman's purse, Scott and the lady start running after this person. At the end, they don't catch him but are both bending over with their hands on their knees exhausted by the run, the music stops, they both look up at each other and smile. The run was their release of tension
