Synopsis

Last week when we chose our song we instantly had a flurry of ideas that we had between us to tie in with the song. Effectively we have decided that without a shadow of a doubt the best way to get marks with this track is to tie actions in with the words.

We decided to use variations in camerawork by combining three different takes of the track with different styles of presentation.

We have decided to use four different styles of presentaion of the track for each of the three verses and another for the chorus.

We have decided to add a beginning to the video. This is footage of the main vocalists sitting on a park bench with a couple of mates and taking a cigarette from a packet and sparking up. Upon taking the first drag on the cigarette and exhaling the smoke the song begins. Footage here will start at a long shot and then zoom to a meidum shot and then to a close up.

The first verse was initially designated to an outside location, potentially a park of wide space of green for example a village green, where there is not a lot of people to cause distractions but people availiable to be used as extras. During this verse we shall use final cut to insert a sequence of the main vocalists memories - FLASHBACKS.

The three takes of the female vocalist will be a normal very still take of her sitting on a park bench. The second take will be one of her letting herself lose and just going all out on how she feels. Finally the third take is a mix in with her friends either side of her also singing the song.

The second verse is intended to be held in a club with the male and female vocalists bumping into each other upon change of the vocalist and staring at each other for tow lines and then dancing towards the end of the verse. Perhaps a flash back to bench from first verse.

The chorus is the point in the track where the video becomes most lively. The two vocalists with their friends whilsts they all sing and just have fun messing around or dancing. We have not chosen a location for this sequence at this point in time. One idea could potentially be to have the vocalists walking down a street with friends and the camera tracks them.

Between the chorus and third verse there is a instrumental. For this we shall just have all the actors dancing. Then as the instrumentals stop the dancers stop and the final verse begins.

From the third verse to the end of the track all vocalists and friends will be together as two vocalists stand next to each other singing the song whilst the friends all mingle and dance around them. The verse starts slowly and then after the first line it becomes lively.

This is so far what we have come up with but we are sure there are still many more thoughts and ideas that we can still throw into the equation.


N.B We shall remain open to gaining more ideas throughout filiming and if an idea comes up then it shall be used as it may work.
