Boy and Bear are a 5 piece Australian indie rock band from Sydney. They formed in 2009 and have had 2 albums out. They are singed to Universal Republic Records and Island Records Australia. They are listend to in Australia, America, South America, most parts of Africa, Asia and the Uk, but are most popular in Australia.
This video for 'Rabbit Song' by Boy & Bear is very similar to what I want my video to be like as this video features band members riding their bikes and they also have very strange costumes and masks making it a surreal video, and I also wanted to use animal masks in my video. Although this video is very surreal it does have some sort of narrative as it follows the man in the video, possibly the lead singer of the band, through his day from the minute he awakes and follows him on the journey he goes on.

The majority of the video is set in the city, somewhat of a concrete jungle, whereas my video will be set in a woodland area, however the last minute of the video is also set in a woodland area.
This video is most popular among females aged 13 to 24, but only popular among males aged 25 to 34.
The video starts of the lead singer waking up in bed, we then see a wide of shot of him sitting up and it then cuts back to a close up of him. This is followed by a series of close ups of him in the shower, eating breakfast and buttoning up his shirt, genereally going about his day in a normal way. We see a close up of the pens in his shirt pocket and we can see an ink stain as his pen as leaked, we then see him dip his fingers in to the ink. It then cuts to a close up of him drawing stripes on his face with the ink. It cuts to black and we then see a wide shot of a busy city street, we then see several shots of the lead singer crossing the road wearing a hat and a cape made of ties, this is definitely surreal. We then see a close up of a man wearing a mask made of keyboards and tape cassettes pointing at someone across the road riding a bike. We then see the caped man riding his bike and the lead singer then follows him down an alley way and pulls out a bow and arrow made from a coat hanger. The lead singer then finds a bike and chases him down the alley ways and back streets of the city. It then cuts to a wide shot of four men stood in a field. Two women with wings then run past the lead singer and we see a mid shot of him looking confused and he then walks in to the woods. We then see a wide shot of of people stood at different positions all around the woods and it then cuts back to a mid shot of the lead singer. He keeps walking into the woods and we see a lot of mid shots and close ups of the people in the woods, this is as if we are looking at them from the lead singers eyes. We then see a wide shot of three men dressed in red capes, who look as if they are important, it then cuts to a close up of the man in the middle and he looks of scree, we then see a mid shot of a women smiling at the lead singer and then it cuts back to a mid shot of the lead singer also smiling. We then see another close up of the man in the middle and and another close up of the lead singer. It then cuts back to a wide shot of the lead singer waking up in bed, as the whole video was one surreal dream.
