Basic Outline Of My Music Video - Plan

My video is going to consist of a boy (Thomas Townsend) and myself. I am going to be filming the shots of Thomas, and Jonny Kelly, a fellow media student, is going to be filming the shots of me Thomas and me together.

• The video is going to be based on:
• A young couple in a relationship, enjoying happy times together.
• Both are reminiscing of memories they had together
• their is going to be an argument, to show the bad times as well as the good times
• Photograph clips
• Both, separately flicking through a photo album, looking at their past.

The video is going to be predominately in black and white and sepia to show the past tense and history, also to represent old fashioned films and photographs as the theme is memories. I am going to use the slow motion and fast forward technique to show the variety of pace and the ups and downs in the relationship. I am going to change colour effects to interpret that the filming was set in the summer, to create enjoyable times. I a going to experiment using different camer techniques, varying the angles. I want to use low angles ooking up at the characters to show their statuses when their happy and enjoying themselves, and high angles when they are not soo happy. I want most of the clips to be close ups to really establish their expressions and emotions towards one another.

To make the video not boring i am also going to film a male to represent the main singer in the band. He is going to be playing a guitar by himself. I am going to film him behind a backdrop and replace the backdrop with another picture, possibly a brick wall or something more extreme like passing traffic or feilds. This is just going to take the focus away from the narrative aspect of the couple together, and make the video denotation as it isa mixture of a narrative and perfomace. These clips are going to be repeated throughout the video to create a degree of authenticity. The clips are going to be off the Boy (Niall Ransome) playing his guitar from all different angles, high, low, close up and medium shots, this is going to involve the audience and also make it more enjoyable to watch.

I am also going to include Jack Waller. He is going to also take the spectators eye away from the star performing and the couples storyline, he is going to be dancing randomley. This is going to show disjuncture as it is totally irrelevent to the rest of the video. He is going to be dancing to the beat to show continuity. He is also going to be infront of the a back drop which i am going to change the picture of to busy traffic to show the unusaul aspect and give the effect of him dancing in betwen traffic.
