videos

information


.the.site.

as is obvious with a little looking around, this site catalogues interpretive video scripts of radiohead songs.
as of late, people seem to have been having some minor confusion issues with the whole concept of what is a video script?
so i thought i'd give some loose definitions to make it brutally clear:

  • a video script is your own description of what sorts of images go through your head when you hear a given song.

  • what you imagine a video for the song might look like.

  • how, if given the chance, you would direct the video -- what kinds of colors, camera angles, themes, etc you would use.

  • as is obvious with a little looking around the site, the written layout of the various videos varies quite a bit, so feel free to use any format you like, so as to get your point across.
    the most popular of which tend to be: line-by-line descriptions of the plot in relation to the lines of the song, dialogue scripts, or simply general descriptions of the mood or events.

  • if you want to include pictures or diagrams, i'm sure i can find a way to work that in.

  • the videos are purely your ideas, not mine (unless i decide to write one of my own)...therefore, i have absolutely no divine right to say what sucks and what doesn't; i don't censor videos on the basis of "quality".

note to the confused: the "videos" for the songs on this page do not actually exist.
they are the figments of the authors' imaginations.
obvious case in point: there are more than one version of videos for some songs.
other obvious case in point: they don't all involve shameless "involvement" shots of the band that mtv practically requires.
so please don't mail me asking where to find clips.
do, however, mail me with suggestions or your own videos.
