3. The Sound Style
• We chose this particular song because there is one lead singer and because Ryan
and Laurence don’t want to be in the music video it is ideal as I can do all the lip
syncing. The lyrics link to a story and we want to be able to have a narrative structure
that can link to the lyrics.
• http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gw09tAcNB0Q - This is a link to the original music video.
4. Mise En Scene
• Costume- At the moment we haven’t currently got a certain costume that the main
person will wear, just to dress appropriately to the genre, so nothing overly colourful.
• Lighting- The lighting will be mainly natural other than the poker scene or the scene
where I am entering the clubhouse where we might have to use a torch or a car light.
• Props- I think that minimal props are needed other than cards, poker chips and the
briefcase and the items in the cupboard to use for our flashbacks.
• Setting- The locations that are set are the snooker room at
Whitehill Golf and the train.
5. Genre and Stylistic Influences
• The genre of the song is indie rock. We chose this because we all like this kind of
music.
• Some influences have been Kings of Leon, Arctic Monkeys.
6. Intended Audience
• The intended audience of this is probably
dominantly male teenagers who enjoy
rock music. Also because of the storyline
people who gamble can relate to it.
7. Narrative structure
• The narrative for our music video is a man
who is down on his luck, not much money
and makes his way to a big poker game in
hope of winning. He arrives at the game
and it is very tense and he wins.
8. Ancillary Tasks
• Our ancillary tasks are to make a
webpage and a magazine advert for our
band. When we do this we will split the
responsibilities, Ryan will do the webpage
and I will do the magazine.
9. Job Roles
• Me, Ryan and Laurence all have different
roles in this production. I am the person
from our group who will be in front of the
camera, Ryan and Laurence will share the
camera-work and we will all edit together.
