2. Chosen Genre and song choice
Our Chosen Genre is Indie Pop. We decided to chose this particular genre because there is a wide
variation of music choices within it meaning it leaves open to create something unique and
different, whilst still keeping aspects of the genre in throughout.
The song we have chosen is ‘something just like this’ by missy & blonde

3. Synopsis
The song is about the theme of love, about how the singer doesn’t need the perfect relationship.
In the song there’s intertextual references to films and fictional super heros. This is a slowed
down acoustic version of the song so we’ve chosen to film the parts of the video at the beach as
it is calm setting and reflects the mood of the song. we will also include a lot of shots of the
artist playing the guitar because the song heavily features a guitar.
4. Timeline
The song begins with
instumental of the acoustic
guitarand we will use
establishing shots to
introduce the locations
We will use close ups of the
performer playing the guitar
and singing at the beach.
The first verse will be
mainly performance based.
During the chorus there are
two vocals so we could layer
2 videos in the same
location of the singer in a
mid shot
At the startof the second
verse we will introduce a
new location of the
forest. This could include
narrativeof the
performer with also some
performance
Towards the end of the
second verse we will
include close ups of the
artist on a plain
backgroundfor example
a brick wall.
During the 2nd chorus the editing
pace will increase as the song builds
up. We will also include a new
costume change and include props
such as the guitar.
Towards the end of the song we will
include all locations and it will be
mainly performance based with a
range of camera shots from long
shot to close ups.
