Location 1 - One of the group's house - Scenes in this location will be during the beginning of the music video as well as when they are older and go back to party and dance. Also, part of the performance montage will feature within this house. This location is used in order to create a sense of realism and engagement between the characters when watching the music video. By filming the beginning/opening of the music video within one of the boys' house, this also makes the atmosphere more inclusive and makes more sense in terms of narration due to the dialogue being told before the music starts.

Location 2 - A street - This location will be featured when the boys are making their way to the shops and find the object on the floor. This will be the main area which features the catalyst of the music video. Depending on the weather, this location will not be used very often throughout the music video. This is because the music video is based around the funny montage and what they learnt about ageing.

Location 3 - A field or somewhere where the group are able to do parkour and comedic things without it being dangerous. I will also try and find a park with a park. By doing this, this allows the characters to do more engaging, humorous, funny parkour. Instead of filming on a plain, empty, boring field, the park and objects allow me to experiment with camera shots, angles and ways the characters can move throughout the music video effectively.

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...
