Music Video Shot Script



Video






Audio
1.) Beginning of the music video will start off with the group of boys complaining about how bored they are – frequent over the shoulder shots and close-ups to create a sense of realism throughout – makes the audience feel immersed. All actors will be dressed in casual teenager clothes. The boys decide to go shopping and the music eventually starts when the car drives off.






Narration


0:00 – 0:20


No music






2.) Music starts and shots are primarily low angle shots to show the object in which they find. The use of frequent low angle shots are used in order to portray a perspective from the object’s point of view, rather than the characters’. This is the catalytic part of the music video since this is when and where the group of boys become older.






0:20 – 1:00



Alright
Ooh, yeah
I'll admit, I was wrong, what else can I say, girl?
Can't you blame my head and not my heart?
I was drunk, I was gone, that don't make it right, but
I promise there were no feelings involved, mmh
She said, "Boy, tell me honestly
Was it real or just for show?", yeah
She said, "Save your apologies
Baby, I just gotta know"
How long has this been goin' on?
You been creepin' 'round on me
While you callin' me "baby"
How long has this been goin' on?
You been actin' so shady (shady)


No narration


Music starts
3.) Lots of quick, fast-paced close-up shots, high and low angle shots during the party montage. The group go back to the house and party – Darker room but enough lighting to still make the video engaging and understandable. By using fast-paced shots, this creates a sense of excitement and energy towards the audience.








1:00 – 1:40/1:145


No narration


Music



I've been feelin' it lately, baby
Ooo-oh (yeah)
Ooo-oh (encore)
Oooh-ooh-oh
I'll admit (I'll admit), it's my fault (my fault), but you gotta believe me
When I say it only happened once, mmh
I tried (I tried), and I tried (I tried), but you'll never see that
You're the only I wanna love, oh, yeah
She said "Boy, tell me honestly" (honestly)
"Was it real or just for show?", yeah (real or just for show?)
She said, "Save your apologies" (apologies, yeah)
"Baby, I just gotta know"








4.) Cuts to establishing shot of field or street – Another montage of boys doing parkour – frequent close ups for engagement and realism.
When the small beat drops, the parkour montage will begin. The beats before the main drop will lead up to them doing such. For example, the part before he says the chorus, shots will cut each time there is a beat. This will be fast paced, however, perhaps not as fast as the partying montage.






1:45 – 2:22


No narration


Music



How long has this been goin' on?
You been creepin' 'round on me (on me)
While you callin' me "baby" (baby)
How long has this been goin' on?
You been actin' so shady (shady)
I've been feelin' it lately (lately), baby
Ooo-oh (yeah)
Ooo-oh (encore)
Oooh-ooh-oh
How long has it been goin' on, baby?
Ooo-oh (yeah)
Ooo-oh, you gotta go tell me now
Oooh-ooh-oh
She said, "Boy, tell me honestly
Was it real or just for show?", yeah
She said, "Save your apologies
Baby, I just gotta know"
How long has this been goin' on? (on, on)


5.) Mini-Montage / Clips of boys stumbling back to the car – moaning and holding their backs. This is used for comedic effect, thus appealing to the 16-25 fun-loving audience. However, it also shows the boys’ recklessness and complete stupidity to party and do parkour at such a high age (around 80). Shots slow down since music slows down – music pace reflects characters’ moods.






2:22 – 2:45


Music slows down


No narration




6.) Boys arrive at house – talk about how they should appreciate being young and making the most out of the time they have at that age. This is the most symbolic part of the music video since it also teaches/implies valuable life lessons.




Music fades / stops completely


Narration of boys talking about wanting to be younger again


As boys discuss, they notice that they are now their original age and are happy.

Audience Brief

VAL The audience in which i am targeting fits fairly well with the 'experiencers' VAL. This is due to my music video including scenes of partying and drinking alcohol, thus perhaps fitting with the young generation. This type also tend to get bored easily, which will be represented within the opening of my music video of the group of teenage boys sitting around wondering what to do with their lives. Furthermore, 'experiencers' suits my style of music video since the 'experiencers' are percieved as 'rebellious' and impulsive, which is what will be reflected within my music video due to the group who have aged still doing parkour and partying at around 75 years of age. Once again this goes against the typical stereotypes of an elderly person. YOUNG and RUBICAM The mainstream audience suits my music video conventions and characters. This is because the mainstream's life choices are 'we' rather than 'me' and this will be shown ...

Statement of Intent - Coursework

                                                                Statement of Intent Music Video Within my music video, I am planning to create a narrative video also containing performance and dance in order to appeal to the target demographic of a fun-loving 16-25 target audience. Within my music video, a group of teenage boys are fed up with their boring lives, however, when they go outside they discover a mysterious object. The object suddenly turns them all 50 years older. They then decide to do parkour, drink out of pure excitement, however quickly realise that they have physical boundaries. The main purpose of the music video is for them to realise to appreciate the time they have when they are young and what they are physically still able to enjoy before they get too old. This will potentially take place in a st...
