Initial Planning IdeasIlan Rubens

Idea 1: Busted – What I Go To School For

This was my initial idea and I have several ideas

that would make this a successful music video. I

would be able to film it in school and use school

friends that would be willing to take part in it. This

genre of music is pop and so it would be easier to

do a video for this genre compared to other genres

of music. I would do this song as both a narrative

and performance. Furthermore it is a very upbeat

song and would keep the viewers interested. The

problem with this idea is that I would need to find

suitable people that would be committed to being

filmed.

Shot IdeasWould have close ups of the singers sitting at their school desks

wearing school uniforms, singing into the camera. Like this

video their school uniforms would be all scruffy with their ties low

down or possibly round their head and the sleeves ripped off.

There would be shots set in school and offsite, such as in this

photo where they are performing with their guitars with the

school in the background.

There would be different shots focusing on the setting, such as

of the clock in the classroom, the board, and the car park,.

Another idea I have is to film it

looking down a corridor with the

singers performing with other

students in the background.

Idea 2: Rizzle Kicks – When I Was A

Youngster

My second idea is to do another pop song. This

song is very upbeat and discusses the topic of

being young, having fun and what you wanted to

be when you’re older. Using this song would make

an interesting music video as it is energetic and

could be set in different locations, just showing

friends having fun, playing games and having a

good time. I would like to film this over summer

when the weather is nice to match the positive,

energetic atmosphere that this song gives.

Shot IdeasFor some parts of the song I would have the singers singing into the camera

wearing costumes, as this links to the topic of the song where they’re young

and acting like children.

It would be set in different locations, such

as in a park with the singers mucking

about in the play area, playing football as

well as just sitting on a bench.

I would use a shot similar to this with my singers pretending to play

on a game console, looking at the camera and singing at the same

time. Throughout the video they would doing different activities that

children would get up to, like riding around on bikes, dressing up

and colouring with crayons.

I will use a lot of props in my video, such as different costumes,

equipment for child activities, E.g – bikes, crayons, footballs, as

well as instruments, such as a drum kit and guitar.

Idea 3: Ed Sheeran - Sing

This music video would be easier to do than the other ideas as it involves less people. Once again it is upbeat and the genre of this song is a mix between indie and pop. This video could be set in a studio and on other locations as well. When set on other locations it would most likely be shot at night time as in the song it talks about going to clubs and meeting women so to follow this theme it would be set at night. This video would involve a provocative female.

Shot IdeasA lot of close contact between the main singer and a

provocative female, such as over the shoulder shots, two

shots and close ups.

There would also be studio shots with the singer playing guitar

as the song has an acoustic guitar playing in the background.

The video would be set in different locations and would be shot

at night time as the lyrics talk about going to clubs, drinking

alcohol and sleeping with women.

I may have different lighting and colour for this video,

have some parts of it with a dark background and a

minimal amount of light on the singer, then change to a

light background with the singer really dark.
