Brief.

Our music video features a female singer/songwriter who will be singing the song "When will it end". The song itself is a very slow romantic song , which features the artist performing and the love of her life , the songs lyrics are about a past break up between her and her boyfriend and the lyrics talk much about the pain she is still feeling from this break up.

Our video firstly features the performance of our artist singing alone on an open stage. Many shots of her performing will be filmed with her performing with a guitar , this guitar represents peace as its plays a low sound. As well as close ups with her performing without showing the guitar , there will also be flash backs of the artists past life with the love of her life. These flash backs shows the commitment and love between the couple. The song lyrics talk much about how the memories bring her pain , through the music video the flashbacks go from strong love to the break up with the last flash back being of the artist looking at memories with the love of her life.

The flash backs that we film will then be edited in to black and white with certain aspects of the flash backs being in colour for example : Our first flashback will show only red rose but the rest of the flashback will be in black and white.

Example

Taken from WWW.EHOW.COM

This will be the same for many of the flask backs. In the 2nd flash back our artist will be given a rose buy her boyfriend , this rose will then be featured in the production we will then show this rose in a vase throughout the performance shots these will be shown in slow motion until at the end of the production the rose petals will have all fallen off showing the vase with just the stem. A line of the lyrics talks about "time speeding faster" for this shot we will be showing different clocks at a fast pace.

At the end of the production we will be showing her boyfriend sat in the seats of the theatre under the spotlight as our artist looks at the empty vase , her boyfriend will then fade out while looking at the vase before she has chance to see him watching . For the final shot our artist will then have the spotlight turned off and she will be in darkness.

Animatic analysis

Our animatic storyboard is 1:41 and our song is 3 perhaps 4 minutes long. So our shots from the animatic will obviously be longer when we shoot the real footage. We are planning to record the performance scene in the video several times from different perspectives. For example, from long shot, close up, behind the artist etc. 

Watching the animatic back we think that all our shots will work and flow successfully.

CASTING

We have chosen the singer for our music video, we have chosen Hannah. We think that she is good for this role as she looks like we think the artis

t should look like and could easily carry the brand image that our artist needs to create. We are still looking for our male actor. We have placed posters around college to see if anyone is interested.

Here are some photos of some our our props we are going to use for filming:
