Original Idea for 'The Big Tree'

Our original idea was to have a deeper meaning behind our video , we interpreted the song as being a metaphor , the big tree is some sought of guardian . A tree in old English was used as a metaphor for a wise man . The location would be a small country home owned by a typical lower / middle class family .


The idea is it begins with a little girl singing to her mother at home , shes whispering the lyrics to the song .


Subtly you notice the father come into the room , we get the impression that hes drunk .

The parents begin to argue but the camera is concentrating on the little girl .


The mother then picks up the girl and moves her into another room to get her away from the argument .


You notice the girl becomes upset by the parents and trys to take her mind off of it by drawing , subtly she begins to sob .


The camera shows the argument for a short period and then the mother becomes fed up , picks up the girl and takes her outside of the house into the garden .


The mother begins to sing the song as a sought of comfort for the girl , it then zooms into her eyes and the shot changes to her in the future , shes getting out of a car with a load of friends as they pull into a barron field .


Other cars begin to come and we understand its her friends , they begin unpacking tents , speakers etcc.. 


they begin to have a party .
