blame

1. ‘Blame’
Calvin Harris
Treatment sheet by Emel Combey-Yildiz
With
ElectroNorth records

2. Concept
The themes that will be shown in my music video will be the
illustration of the lyrics and just showing the life of todays youth for
the for the song blame by Calvin Harris. The song is looking at the
nightlife and the mainstream culture of today the idea of ‘blame’ is
obviously key to the song and will have to be represented within
my own video. The main characters in my video will be a group of
northern teenagers (my friend group) showing their life and
attitudes during the night. The idea behind it is to stress the genre
and basically show them to be having a good time.

3. Lighting
For my video the lighting will be
important as a lot of it will be filmed at night, the use of low lighting
will be prominent and there will be very little natural light and
artificial light will be used. The use of car headlights and
streetlights will be used to my advantage when filming. I will try to
create particular shadows to give depth to some of the shots I
have an idea to shoot a
silhouette of the girls.

4. Camera and Editing
My camera shots will vary as there is a few characters evolved the
shots will vary from extreme close ups to wide shots. I will have the
camera both on the tripod and held and will use the first person
technique as if the camera is their eyes. Most of the shots will be
slightly shaky and rarely fully stationary. Editing will be fast paced
to keep up with the song and will be advanced to keep some
relation to the mainstream videos for this genre.

5. Narrative
There are two narratives that my
music video will follow both featuring a
group of northern teenagers but in two different environments, one
being a house party and the other being set out and about
following them in there activity’s .
