Our chosen song

We decided to use “Rather Be” for our music video, as we feel that it is a classic from the pop genre and therefore could be easily remade and transformed into our own interpretation. The lyrics of the song are also related to love which is a strong and persistent theme in the genre conventions of pop. The beat is also dance/club themed which also gives us the potential to incorporate a party lifestyle in the video- also conforming to pop genre conventions. This means that we can produce a meaningful video that conforms to the lyrics and builds onto them.

Story board

& Narrative

Locations

We plan to film in a variety of locations,

in order to have diversity throughout

the video to make it more interesting

and exciting. We plan to film in a

house setting, streets and a field, and

also create a party scene in a

building/room.

Locations We will be filming the first few shots at Catherine’s

house.

This is because due to her living in the central location of Crick, it is a convenient distance between school, Kate’s house (Naseby) and Effie’s house (West Haddon), making it accessible and appropriate.

The house setting will make the video realistic and authentic, rather than trying to create this not in a home, such as in school.

We will use Catherine's bedroom, her hall way, doorway and staircase.

Locations We will film some walking scenes on the streets

of Crick.

This is because again, the convenience of Catherine living there makes it much more accessible.

Alongside that, we will already be in Crick filming, therefore we thought that using the streets there as well would be convenient.

The street scenes will be needed in our video in order to create the youthful nightlife feel.

Locations As one of the date settings, we will be filming on

the school field where the couple will be having a picnic.

We decided that the school field would be an appropriate filming location as it is extremely accessible for the entire group as it is a place that we will all be every day, making it easy and convenient.

This will also mean that we have the ability to film these scenes during school hours, saving time for the ones that we need to film elsewhere.

Locations In our video we also plan to create a party scene

in order to conform to the persistent theme of happiness and parties throughout pop videos.

We decided that the drama studio within the school would be a good location for this, as it is large and empty, meaning we could fit a lot of people into it to create the party look.

The lighting in the drama studio is also very complex, meaning we could create low level lighting and a party vibe with ease.

The accessibility of a school based location is also another factor that influenced to use this.

Actresses

We have chosen to use Kate

to feature in our video, as a

result of her being and

committed to be in the film as

she is passionate about the

outcome of the film. Kate is

likely to be more available

than students not in the

group to put more time into it,

as it’s her own coursework.

We also decided to use

Catherine in our video, due to

her being also in the media

group and therefore fully

committed to being available

when needed and scheduled

to film. Catherine is also part

of a drama group outside

school which furthermore

influenced or decision to use

her in the film.

Costume

Break up scene: Girl 1 – jeans, plain t-shirt, hoodie and converse

Boy 1 – tracksuit bottoms and plain t-shirt

Girl 2 – jeans, plain t-shirt and boots

Boy 2 – jeans and a top

Plain clothing to represent dullness of the circumstance

Party Scene (main characters):

Girl 1 – Black skater skirt, white lace top and heels

Boy 2 – Black skinny jeans, denim jacket and fashionable shoes

Other party characters will be dressed in fashionable and trendy clothing in order to conform to the pop genre convention of iconic and mainstream fashion.

CostumeDate scene:

Girl 1 – Summer dress (colorful and fashionable) with sandals

Boy 2 – Denim shorts and a shirt, fashionable shoes

Both make an effort with outfits to replicate their care and worry of each others opinion, however are fashionable in order to conform to the genre.

Boy 1- black jeans and a grey top – darker colours to give a negative presence
