2. Narrative
One idea for my video would just be the main character just
messing around with his group of friends. I think this would suit the
style of the song as it is a playful and not very serious song.
Another narrative I was thinking of using is having the main
character trying to meet up with his friends and having unusual
encounters on the way.
Performance
The performance aspect of my video could be a simple close up
of my actor/actors lip syncing some lines of the song. The video
will consist of the switch between the lip syncing and the main
part of the story. This will be done by having cross shots
between them. I was also thinking about including close ups of
someone playing a guitar however this may require me to get
another actor.
3. Locations
At the moment I am still trying to choose
my locations however I know that I will
be filming in a suburban neighbourhood.
My potential locations would be the
skate park in Alveston,
Patchway/Charlton Hayes or a park in
Stoke Gifford
4. Shots
Close up- Used to show actor mouthing
the lyrics. I may also use this when
filming the hands of my actor playing an
instrument
Medium shot- Used when showing the
narrative of the video
Long shot- I may shoot some scenery
Tracking shot- Following my actor
walking around
5. Clothing and Props
The clothing will most likely just be
casual as the narrative of the story will
be set in a neighbourhood.
If I do have one of my actors play guitar
I would prefer if he wore darker clothes
A guitar may be an option as a prop
