MALTA COMINO GOZO!

[Malta Comino Gozo]

Winning Performance

The camera span from the screens and closed up on the Malta Comino Gozoan delegation! Aris and her team were jumping insanely, Aris in the middle speechless her mouth covered tears streaming down her face, her make up was ruined from the nerves before but now it dripped off her face! Her team all gathered around her, and so they hugged each other tightly! Moved, humbled and incredibly happy they made their way to the stage through a magnificent applause! The camera walking with Aris and her team, her Malta Comino Gozo flag draped over her shoulder. The Delegation and Aris moved by the crowds chants! "Thank you so much" She tentatively speaks into the mic. I want to thank my team , my family and most importantly, everyone at home! I can't believe this!" The lights and cheers of the arena fade as black clouds sprawl across the LED screen sky, billowing in from the left. (OOC I know there is no thunder and lightning but please imagine there is.) A stillness falls over the arena, and in the silence comes a low crackle of thunder, rolling across the arena to the pattering of tiny raindrops. A streak of hot silver light splits over the LED screen and the arena illuminating the audience, and the sound of a downpour begins and fades as the opening bars of the song start. The backing singers can be heard humming the opening. They aren't visible.

The camera view rises to reveal a row of silhouettes, as great flashes of white light permeate the entire stage to the beat representing lightning across the misty stage as Aris and her band, with grey tape covering their mouths, marches in from the dark at the back like soldiers, left right left right, in perfect unison, Philip approaching the guitar, Joe would be playing the drums, usually Megan would normally play drums but the team decided to swap them around something they felt worked better for the song, and, Megan to the microphone stand positioned off right centre. They reach their respective posts, with Aris right at the centre stage. As Aris gets ready to sing they all rip of their tape in unison with each other, the audible sound of ripping tape can be heard across the arena. The stage is dark and spooky like. Aris has her hair down still and is wearing the same outfit as the parade of nations. Worn black torn jeans, black muscle tank clad and calf high boots She also had black socks on. Her makeup is also the same. The bars are pushed down on each side of the stage, so that the main space in the very centre of the stage appears more elevated. Half of Aris's face is cast in shadow. A dim but warm yellow light shines on Aris from the side as she begins to sing, the light reflecting off her bracelet. With a moody but vulnerable gaze, she looks slightly sideways to the camera. The camera has a some what gritty filter to it and moves around like a hyperactive child, not staying still. It jitters around capturing brief angles of her face, shoulders and body. It blurs slightly every so often as Aris raises a hand upwards showing off her black painted nails before dropping it down dramatically to her side again. The camera cuts to a onstage camera which has the same effects as well as being black and white after Aris sings the first 2 lines, for the brief instrumental it films Philips hands playing the guitar. It then cuts back to Aris again still remaining gritty and bouncy, the colour coming back.

A multitude of flashing disorienting lights of red and white begins to cover the entire arena. She gestures outwards dramatically whilst she sings the second to last line the wind blowing her hair the white spotlights visible as beams through the air, shifting from red to white. Misty particles begin to be visible in the air around her like rain. She keeps one hand on the microphone stand. She is nervous but stays confident. The light flickers chaotically. We cut to a brief gritty bouncy view of Philip playing his guitar, he has a rough looking beard and brown hair and a small circle earring visible, he looks down confidently at his guitar which is just in shot before it wildly cuts Joe who is positioned at the back on the drums he is focused, not looking at the camera. He is in a white t shirt as black jacket. Neither make eye contact with their respective cameras to help create a mysterious mood.

Għaqqad iċ-ċertezza

Combine certainty

u dik l-inċertezza

and that uncertainty

Mewġ tal-qilla u rjieħ maltempati

Wrathful waves and tempest winds

Dan il-maltempati qawwija mhux dixxiplinati

This powerful storms undisciplined

We cut back to Aris the light causing deep shadows under her protruding cheek bones she has a evil glint in her eyes. The camera which is at face height remains wild, unable to stay still capturing the evil mood as it blurs and unblurs and jumps capturing brief shots of different parts of Aris. All the while the lights continue to pulsate to the beat. The lights offering a brief glimpse through the darkness. The LED screen in the back begins to fill up with dark stormy clouds. Shown here The camera then quickly cuts to a onstage camera from the left before switching back as Aris raises both of her hands to face height the light twinkling in her eyes as she does a cold look on her face.The left side of her faint red lips tugged upwards creating a sinister grin that spread across her face as she sings the last line 'Are you gonna try to stop me?' As if playing with the viewers. The camera switches to Philip as he screeches his guitar.

Daqqa tar-riħ, li tgħajjat

Wind blows, howling through

Se tiġi kkunsidrata forza distruttiva

Destructive force to be reckoned with

X'għandek tagħmel?

What you gonna do?

Int se tipprova twaqqafni?

Are you gonna try to stop me?

Suddenly the view changes to a camera on a boom pole as it pans outwards for a few seconds above the bands heads into the audience. The audience is lit up every now and then spectacularly by flashes of lightning light. Their silhouettes can be seen in raising their arms and jumping. The stage is still somewhat dark but the columns of white spotlights now strobe furiously lighting everyone onstage in a white strobe light. It then cuts back to Aris whose leaning forward slightly crouched the mic stand in one hand the other hand lost in her hair. She squeezes her hair in a painful looking way. The LED background now showing a full on storm with lightning flashes and menacing dark clouds. The floor of the stage is still shrouded in mist. The camera is a bit more stable this time but still keeps its jittery and gritty effect. Aris's powerful gritty voice spills out into the arena. As she sings 'Can you see the pain?' She grabs her cheeks with her nails digging in slightly representing the pain of her seeing her boyfriend cheat on her. All the while the wind machine blowing her hair around.

Forza distruttiva mimlija fjammi

Destructive force filled with flames

Jien biss ma nistax infaħħar

I just can't be tamed

Din il-forza vjolenti mimlija rabja

This violent force filled with anger

Uragan u xita li torbot

Hurricane, and lashing rain

Tista 'tara l-uġigħ?

Can you see the pain?

Din l-irjiħat jdur ser jiksbu ya!

This whirling winds gonna get ya!

The camera pulls right out showing all the stage and most of the spectators at the front. The arena is again plunged into darkness the only light being the streak of hot silver lights scattered above the stage just enough to make out the band on stage. The backing singers can be heard. We then cut to various shots of Aris her face somewhat sensual, biting her lips her eyes squinting, shots of Megan glaring into the camera lens and Philip and Joe paying their instruments. Each shot is wild unsettling and bumpy. Misty particles like rain now shroud the stage. A jagged bolt of light rips through the arena. The wind whipped her blonde hair slightly around her face. The beat rolled across the arena. It reverberated around the excited spectators eerily echoing. The crowd can be heard before they settle again as Aris starts to sing. A tornado starts to form on the screen behind her, the tornado funnel gradually getting wider, the stormy clouds whirling and getting bigger. The stage is bathed in white and blood red, splitting Aris in half perfectly. She sings towards the frontal camera as it wildly bumps around her distorting her as it does. Both her hands are now on the microphone as she brings it closer to her lips. For the instrumental the camera wild changes to a close up shot of Philips hands playing his guitar before switching to Aris whose hands are now raised above her head the camera completely mirrors this making it look hallucinogenic. For the rest of the sung verse the camera cuts between various gritty jittery close ups and shots from the side. As it breaks away to the instrumental again the lights flash around her once and the camera transitions to a close up of Aris, her eyes staring wildly. She strokes her hair as the camera distorts with brief flashes of dim light.

The beams of the house creaked in a way
That chilled all their blood away
Exasperated, infuriated
Rain falls, you're saturated

The camera pans past Aris. The lights in the arena slowly building. Before cutting back to a onstage camera capturing a body shot. The lights in the arena become brighter with each beast as they flash spectacularly. The camera switches to Philip as he screeches his guitar and the arena is now left in darkness.

Wind blows, howling through
Devastating force to be reckoned with
What you gonna do?
Are you gonna try to stop me ?

The lights of the arena erupt into flashes of lightning white light. The spotlights on the ceiling shoot around and strobe violently just like lighting within cloud. Aris and her band are lit up by white and the stage lights behind them pulsate violently enough to induce a fit. The camera work is aggressive as it switches to various shots of each band member between shots of Aris almost headbutting the lens and ruffling her top. The whole time the wind ruffles her and the bands hair and outfits. Various lens flares hit the camera subtly.

This destructive force filled with flames
I just can't be blamed
This destructive force filled with anger
Hurricane, and lashing rain
Can you see the pain?
This whirling winds gonna get ya!

The camera cuts and we now have a view of Philips guitar, as he plays the notes in the instrumental. The camera is wobbly and gritty and a lens flares hit the camera subtly. It then cuts back to Aris whose staring into the camera like this https://media3.giphy.com/media/TfRJSpkY ... /giphy.gif

This furious force filled with power

The camera is now a view that creeps upwards from Aris's legs up to her pale white face. She is leaning forward almost falling to her knees, and the microphone is in her right hand, the stand in her left. She tosses the mic stand playfully swinging it as she sings. Again the arena is plunged into darkness lightning flashes across the LED screen as the tornado grows. The camera cuts again to the guitar before cutting away to Aris, an evil smile like look on her face.The stage is lit in a faint grey light. Dim white lights now flash at the sides of the stage to the beat. The backing singers can be heard humming. The camera transitions to a suspended camera in the middle of the audience capturing the whole impressive stage before cutting to a distortion of wild shots of the stage from different angles.The wind machines gradually build throughout the next part of the song as the "storm" grows. The LED looks like this from 1:36 to 1:58 Shown here Aris is now crouching down. https://i.imgur.com/MXpibHv.jpg

Hmm Oh yeah

The arena is dark and begins to fill with ominous black fog and the wind from the fans starts to pick up, howling, crying, warning, baying like a wolf into the night. A crack of lightning rent the air and within seconds the rolling boom of the thunder reverberated overhead just loud enough to be noticed but not to take anything away from the song. The centre stage that Aris is on begins rising very slightly upwards only by about 3ft in total just enough to elevate her more than before. Soon half way through the verse it began sprinkling. Little droplets of water touched her hair and skin, the water droplets began growing larger and falling more frequently. The water seeped through her gauzy top and chilled her skin. The wind machines are blowing nearly at full power now, she begins to stand up.

Wind blows, howling through
Devastating force to be reckoned with
What you gonna do?
I'm losing control now!

Aris stands up, with renewed assurance, the wind machines on full force, the wind machines obviously isn't enough to push her over but as she stands up she gets her stance, her left leg in front of the other and fights against the wind. The wind tears over the stage dramatically. Aris heaved her legs against the gale, against the pressure building on her chest and hitting her face. Her hair is blowing violently. The storm is here. The LED background now a black stormy sky and tornado tearing through a farm, debris being flung in all directions and lightning flashes flash vigorously around the arena. The storm encapsulating her anger, her anger had escaped. Like a tornado tearing through the landscape. The very feeling she had when she found out she was being cheated on. She was on the war path. Suddenly her liberal opinions were gone, her ability for nuance and emotional generosity were gone too. Her hands gripping the microphone.

Aris has a confident look on her face. Perhaps this breakup is the only way she will rediscover who she is. She had these dreams. She had these amazing technicolour dreams that she need to make into some kind of reality for others... and for her too. So now she must go, weave her creative magic into this ether we call the world, and she wishes him well even though she will always face forwards, moving onward. She looks into the camera on her left before looking back to the camera in front of her. It then cuts. The view is now over the audience as the camera moves over them to Aris on stage showing her and all her band, before it cuts to a view panning left to right. The camera distorts for the instrumental and switches to various angled stage shots capturing the drums for one second , the guitar the next. The backing singers can be heard again. Ceiling cams and spider cam shots then show various parts of the stage before cutting back to Aris. Aris keeps eye contact with the camera leaning in slightly, an outstretched finger pointing right down the camera lens. A fearsome look is now on her face. The stage begins to fill with more light from the overheard spotlights and the lights in the arena continue to flash around. A close up shots show Aris raise her hands to face height as she whips her hair back. The wind stops and the camera ends just in front of Aris, looking upwards towards her painful mean looking face glaring down into the lens, she's breathing heavily. Her glistening white teeth clenched before the camera blurs and cuts to a view further back as the arena lights come back on.

This destructive force filled with flames
I just can't be blamed
This destructive force filled with anger
Hurricane, and lashing rain
Can you feel the pain?
This whirling winds gonna get ya!
This whirling winds gonna get ya!
This whirling winds gonna get ya!

Aris lets go of the microphone stand and steps out a broad smile now on her face. The audience is up roaring with cheers and screams flags are being waved in all directions. Golden and silver confetti streaks pours down from the ceiling! She bows and through tears she screams into the mic again. "Grazzi Milano! Thank you everybody!! You have made me so honoured I love you! Aris and the band vacate the stage ready for the intermission.
