MY IDEA FOR JACQUELINE!!!
Yes, this idea came from MY mind!!!! Thank you very much!! I decided to edit my idea just a tad bit, or, if you'd like me to get more technical, brush it up and make it sound more... nice! So, without further adieu, my idea for Jacqueline by Franz Ferdinand!!!
Jacqueline - Divided by seconds
Jacqueline - One big ol' paragraph!
Jacqueline
1-4 seconds: You see a shot of Alex's face, and he's singing the lyrics to Jacqueline (well duh, it's only the video for it!)
4-10 seconds: You see a shot of "Jacqueline", working on paperwork, and it starts to come in closer. And she puts down her pen to look through papers.
10-27 seconds: You see a side shot of Alex and "Jacqueline", her right and his left. And on the left wall of her cubicle (this is her left) you see Nick playing the acoustic (if he didn't well, it's my damn video, so you're just going to have to deal with it).
27-33 seconds: You see a shot of people standing behind Alex, and they're holding flowers and looking quite unhappy, as in, melancholy.
33-43 seconds: You see a shot of what "Jacqueline" could be looking at: As in, a shot of Alex in front of her, and the people standing behind Alex.
44-50 seconds: You finally see "Jacqueline" look up, and she looks at everyone. What she sees will be seen in the next few seconds.
50-55 seconds: You see different shots of different co-workers, holding the flowers. Some might be crying, some might have a sad look upon their faces.
55 seconds: Alex nods.
56 seconds: The flowers are thrown and "Jacqueline" gets up.
59 seconds: "Jacqueline" grabs her coat.
1:00-1:09: You see "Jacqueline" running down the sidewalk to.. wherever, and at about 1:07, you see a shot of Alex running down the stoop that "Jacqueline" just came from.
1:10-1:15: You see a shot of the band playing, they're all wearing black, and not wearing shoes. There is a black screen behind them, so it kinda reminds you of those things where people have puppet bodies and they were black so no one will notice their actual bodies.
1:15-1:47: "Jacqueline" is running, and she continues to run with Alex following her. There are the occasional close up shots of Alex running and singing the lyrics. And then the occasional close up shots of "Jacqueline" looking back at Alex, and him smiling back at her.
1:47-1:57: "Jacqueline" runs into a bar, and looks around for a bit. Seeing as no one is around, she drinks a glass of what is in front of her. Then she quickly runs out, and the bloke who purchsed the drink, comes out of the restroom.
1:57-1:59: She comes out, looks in the direction she came from, and notices no Alex. So, she smiles and then turns around.
2:00-2:25: Ta-da! Alex is right in front of "Jacqueline", and he holds her in his arms until 2:12, where she breaks free, and then he grabs her by the wrist again, and begins to sing the next lyrics into her ear.
2:25-2:43: You see the same image of the band wearing their all black ensemble with the black screen.
2:43-2:55: You see Alex chasing "Jacqueline" again, and of course, there are the usual close up shots of Alex singing, and "Jacqueline" glancing back while she's running to see if the man is still following her.
2:55-3:10: "Jacqueline" stops at the corner of the street, and witnesses a horrible car accident that surely killed both drivers, and appears to have occured awfully close to where she was standing. She appears unharmed, and glances over to the location where she thinks she's been trying to get to.
3:10-3:23: She walks over to her final destination: a cemetery. She sees Alex standing by a certain tombstone and walks over there.
3:23-3:35: She looks at the tombstone, and it shows a shot of the tombstone. She falls to her knees. And now "Jacqueline" has figured out that "Jacqueline" is, in fact dead. The images of what appeared to have happened, i.e., the paperwork, when she grabbed her coat, the gentleman's drink, and the car crash, all go through her mind as she realizes that these things, in fact, did not happen. Although the car crash symbolized the memory of her death! Dun dun dun!!
3:35-3:48: Alex appears over "Jacqueline's" shoulder, and begins singing the end of the song. At the end, he walks away as the girl kneels there, in awe.

POINT OF THE VIDEO!!!! MWA HA HA!!!!
*Coughs* Anyhoo, the point of this video is.....!!!! "Jacqueline" is a wandering spirit, who's too caught up in life to realize that she is actually DEAD. So, therefore, Alex was sent (Was he sent by God or Satan? That's up to you!) as an angel so he could bring her out of this alternate reality! Ta-da! Now, scram!!!
P.S. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!! DO NOT STEAL MY IDEA!! I'm begging you people, if you have as much spare time as I do, then think of your OWN music video ideas!!!! Unless you are one of the members of Franz Ferdinand, and want to use the idea (I highly doubt it, but it doesn't hurt to dream!) then just contact me or whatever, and I'll gladly let you use it! Muchas gracias!!!
