Questions for Audience

After watching our music video I will ask my audience the following questions to see if my music video was successful:

• What are your initial thoughts on the music video?
• What genre would you categorise the music video as?
• What makes it seem like it belongs in that genre?
• Does the video match the song?
• Would you prefer to see a more performance based video or do you like this combination with narrative?
• Did you understand the narrative?
• Were you interested for the whole song?
• Do you think it's effective in promoting the artist?

Location Reccie

Location 1 - Field path/road where the artist walks along with the photographs. There will be numerous shots filmed along this road from a variety of angles including an establishing shot at the start of the music video. This is also the location where the break up occurs. We will film the photographs being thrown at the artist and as they slowly land on the ground.

Location 2 – this location is at the top of a hill in Cookham. Here we will have the two main characters arriving by car and getting out and sitting on the bonnet. There will be establishing shots of the view over Cookham and shots of the clouds in the sky as well as the couple together. Here we will also shoot the scene where the artist receives messages from his girlfriend telling him they need to talk.

 

Location 3 - Ockwells Road – Here we will be shooting the footage of the couple walking together, showing their loving relationship. This flashback is important because it will build up and contrast with the breakup at the end. This is the location where the two main characters will ask a passer-by to take a picture of them with will become one of the photographs the artist is looking at when walking along the path at location 1. Here we will also film the artist walking on his own to show him reminiscing after the break up.

 

Location 4 – at home together, in a living room where Luke's character will be playing on his PlayStation till he realises he isn't giving his girlfriend any attention. There will be close-ups of the PS controller, two characters sitting together and hugging.

 

Location 5 – the underpass in Cox Green– this is another location where the couple will be together, walking down towards it and sharing an intimate moment. We will be doing a lot of close ups of the couple at this location.

Location 6 – blank background – here is where we will be filming the artist miming to the song. The background is blank and we will be using lights to create shadows of the artist behind him on the white background. This will be done in the common room at Cox Green School.

Risk Assessment

Cast List

Artist/male actor in relationship:
Luke Murphy - he is required to be filmed walking along various roads at our chosen locations and act as though in a relationship with the female actress. They will be filmed walking together, holding hands and getting close. He will also be sitting on the bonnet of his car, looking at messages on his phone. The main other role this actor will have to perform is as the artist singing the song. He will be filmed in front of a blank background miming to the song.

Female actress in relationship:
Lauren Craker - she is required in a similar way to Luke Murphy, the male actor. She will have to act as if she is in a relationship with the artist. There will be many close-up and medium shots of her smiling and laughing. In the final part of the music video she will need to shout at her boyfriend and throw the photographs at him before walking away.

Actor walking past who takes picture:
Gemma Bloor - she will be in the shots at location 3 where Lauren’s character will ask her to take a photograph of the couple as a memory for them to keep. This is only a minor role, she is needed in no other shots.
