Pitch of Emm's final idea

1. Pitch for Music Video
Emm Wright

2. The Track

3. The Meaning
• About the singer not liking high school and not understanding why he felt so low
through out high school when the films were different

4. The genre
• The genre is indie pop
• This is a very common genre for smaller artists as it is become popular in
mainstream music as well as it being an easier genre to right in when you are a
smaller artist with limited equipment.

5. The idea (Synopsis)
• Set in a classroom, main singer dressed in dark colours and is in the middle. The
song is about him not liking or enjoying high school and I think he needs to stand
out in a negative way
• Montages of high school being happy but with hidden messages of negativity
within the set
• The ‘perfect’ set and high school starts to break down during the music video
until the end it becomes absolutely chaos with papers flying everywhere
• Dancers throughout the whole piece
• Intertextual references of classic high school films

6. Visual Cues
The colour scheme is there but it only refers to
anyone in the background and not the lead singer

7. Influences
• Mean girls scene when the burn book is released
• ’good 4 u’ – Olivia Rodrigo
• The Edge of Seventeen
• ’Teenage Dirtbag’ – Wheatus
• ‘I'm Not Okay (I Promise)’ – My Chemical Romance
• ‘Numb’ - Linkin Park
• Lady Bird
• Ferris Bueller’s Day Off – especially the twist and shout parade scene as well as the art gallery
scene

8. The cast (Who do you hope will be involved in
your production?)
• Teenagers, high school age
• Lead singer – white teenage boy

9. Performance (How many performers? Any
instruments)
• How are you going to develop the star persona? How will you represent your
artist?
• No instruments
• Story telling, how much he doesn’t like high school makes him relatable to
adolescents
• Background dancers, numbers TBC

10. Narrative (How are you telling a narrative?
Story? Thematically?)
• Story of how much high school sucks effectively that
• For example, feeling the pressure of popularity from your peers, stress of grades
and the future as well as relationships (both platonic and romantic)
• His high school career coming to an end quite chaotically

11. The style
• Emo skater boy
• Dressed black
• In the background – relatable

12. The structure
• Opening shot: close up of singer, slowly zooming out, as a tracking shot though
• Slow mo of chaos
• Birds eye view shot of singer in the middle of the chaos
