My Directors Pitch

1. Directors Pitch
By Ethan Hodges

2. Mise-En-Scene
- costumes -
• My artists costume(s) are Rasta
themed which are the colours of
red, green and yellow this Is
because Bob Harley is a Rasta.
This conforms to the protest
theme because my character is
wearing what they believe in
and standing up for what they
want. Further-more, this shows
protest as my character is
representing a group which he
believes in.

4. Mise-En-Scene

very minimal to show you don’t
need much/ anything in life to
have the right to your rights.
• My character was deliberately
shown as someone who’s happy
being themselves and a role
model to people from minority
backgrounds.
Props:
- Hat with the dreadlocks attached.

environment.

5. • The lighting is all outside natural
light except from when Bob
Harley is inside looking into the
mirror.
• The natural lighting effect used
reflects how real the problems are
and doesn’t hide any impurities.
• The lighting within the mirror
scenes is deliberately dark as its
supposed to reflect the isolation
Bob Harley has had to go through.

6. • There isn’t any additional sound
added to the music video because
it’s a protest song I wanted the
lyrics to be heard and speak for
themselves.
• The song has an important
message which is everyone
struggling should stand up for
their rights. This is powerfully
reflected through the lyrics so
that is what I have planned for the
viewer/ listener to hear.

7. • Due to Covid-19 restrictions I didn’t want
to travel to a town or a city so I used a
village high-street but it’s supposed to
represent a busy urban area at a fast pace
which nobody can see the inner struggle
even though hundreds/ thousands of
people are walking past.
• The woodland area is to represent a
peaceful natural environment that Bob
Harley likes to go but even the fast
pace world has caught up to some of
the woodlands and has infested it with
litter. This hurts the character of Bob
Harley as he loves the environment
making it more vital to stand up for
something he believes in (freedom and
rights)
• Locations: Woodland, High-street
(City/ town/ urban fast paced area).

8. Narrative/ Plot
• The basis of the video is Bob Harley
wants people to understand the
importance of everyone rights. The video
has Bob Harley and Archie Smith living
very similar lives but Bob Harley sees all
the struggle going on around in all the
minority groups in the world where as
Archie Smith goes through life as a white
male and doesn’t see the minority
struggle and doesn’t care. This saddens
Bob Harley which influences him to get
anyone in a minority group to stand up
for themselves and others in the same
situation.
• There is no happy ending in the video as
its to show how real the situation is and it
really throws the message into the viewer
face instead of passively protesting.

9. Characteristics
Bob Harley:
He’s a young black male who loves nature and the
environment. He’s sickened by the route society is taking
towards minority groups and wants to make a change. He
hopes to achieve this change through a peaceful protest (His
song and music video). He aims to have a powerful music-
video so it impacts viewer/ listeners to form the same opinion
as himself and stand up for everyone’s rights. Further more,
Bob Harley is a Rasta which is a religion in Jamaica developed
in the 1930s which believe in one God (Jah).
Black, male, Long Dreadlocks, Young, Naturist and very in
touch with society.
Archie Smith:
He’s a middle age white man who Is very oblivious,
occasionally litters and says a few off things. He’s a very
stereotypical man but because of how oblivious and out of
touch with society he doesn’t see the problems going on
around him.
White, male, short blonde hair, Middle age, doesn’t really care
for the environment and very oblivious to society around him.
