Revised plan

Having listened to many people’s responses I have decided to change my original plans to accommodate their feedback. Having looked at my plans for the film, most people said that having the band just playing in each of the locations does not show the values and ideology I wanted to portray in the video very clearly. As a result, I have decided to not have the band playing the song in all of the locations, just in the shots filmed at the Garage (the studio), and, in all the other shots, to show them having fun in a clean, friendly way to promote a band whose target audience will be able to relate to them. An example of the ‘fun’ they will be having is a shot of them playing hopscotch in the park, laughing and joking with each other, which will show that they are having fun.

Nowadays, the majority of music videos involve scantily clad women and ‘gangster-type’ males, and usually have strong sexual connotations, with the lyrics also having these connotations. I do not believe that these kinds of people are very good role models, and that young people should not aspire to be like them, because it is unrealistic and promotes aggression and sex. By not conforming to this image with my music video, I believe that it will stand out, and will show young people that being ‘ordinary’ can be fun, interesting and exciting because life is exciting.

Shot List

Opening : no Music – Marcus walks out of school on the phone to Sophie. He says “Ok, will see you there”. Sophie (at home) on the phone replies “Ok, Bye”. Next we see Sophie walk out of her house, shut the door, then we switch to an over-the-shoulder shot with Sophie putting Who’s Who on her iPod. The music then comes in.
