Title: “Cool Kids” by Echosmith

Synopsis: Our music video will be a narrative/performance. The story will be about a two girls who are unpopular and seen as unattractive by their school peers. They decide they have had enough of the bullying and work together to give extreme makeovers. They do this for self-confidence and to feel happy with their life; not for other people. We see the girls shop for clothes and go home to do their makeup. When they are happy with their look and unique style they confront the “Cool kids” and they are amazed. The girls are happy and no longer in the background. The performance will be of a main singer, and a few people playing instruments. They will be in a plain room, which will either be light or dark.
