Pitch v4 emma and louis 15.10.20-2
1. PITCH V4 – ALL THE GOOD GIRLS
GO TO HELL
Loops Media and Scope Vids
2. ALL THE GOOD GIRLS GO TO HELL –
WHY?
• all the good girls go to hell – Billie Eilish (2019)
• Contrast between dark echoed beat/audio filters and unfiltered, faster-
paced upbeat chorus
• Gives us opportunity to play around with filters/post-production edits to
utilise for both moods of the song
• Variation of pace - meaning we will have opportunities for selective on
beat cuts + short takes (for a younger audience)
• Bass (providing opportunity for VFX and a build-up to bass drop)
• This build up will then give us an opportunity to build up the pace in
the editing and possibly developments in narrative
• Lyrics offer an interesting opportunity to look into a dark romantic narrative
4. NARRATIVE (PART 1) - THE GOOD
• Portraying a relationship between these 2 characters (male and female)
• Shown through several dates/locations
Our ideas for these activities are (the ones highlighted are the ideas we are most likely to follow through with):
• Under the covers
• Netflix & eating pizza
• Pillow fight
• Picnic
• Climbing a tree
• Karaoke
• Mini golf
5. NARRATIVE (PART 2) - THE ARGUMENT
• Girl getting dressed to leave the house
• Boyfriend enters with controlling opinions on her outfit (too revealing)
• Shot of him picking out new clothes for her (+ possibly adjusting her shirt/blouse)
• They start arguing as opinions contrast
• She leaves the room and slams the door behind her
• Must have some indication that she has left him (rips up photograph?)
6. NARRATIVE (PART 3) - THE BAD
• This will take place in the second half of the video
• After leaving her boyfriend, she walks away from him in the street while he follows her asking for
forgiveness (showing that the female has agency)
• She continues walking; however turns around once more to say, 'there's nothing left to save now'
(more details on lyric timing sheet)
• This links neatly with the performance throughout the video, with half of it being in a past location
(more details next slide) to show she is better off alone
• The visuals at the end will imply that after walking away from boyfriend, she has ended in a spot that
had previously been and has been looking back at their relationship throughout the whole video
7. LOCATIONS FOR NARRATIVE
• Current possibilities:
• Forest/field with tree
• Bedroom (specifically in bed)
• Living room
8. PERFORMANCE
• 2/3 specific performance shoots
• Similar, to Evie's video (past A2 music video), we will have performance shoots in the same area's as
narrative
• Along with this, the female will be in a studio (possibly over greenscreen/black/red backdrop)
• This shoot will contain several different shot types
• LS showing new post-feminist outfit + ECU of quirky and shocking visuals (i.e biting a flower or
other devil connotations)
• These shots will include robotic movements (as influenced by videos shown in influence video)
9. LOCATION FOR PERFORMANCE
• Some same locations as narrative (with the implication that protagonist is back to reflect and there is a
visual contrast between controlled girl vs new in-control girl... AGENCY)
• Specifically forest (filmed in tree with vs without boyfriend – angel and devil carrying connotations of
'falling from the sky' or 'coming from another world/being above human' therefore up in tree)
• Green screen studio for the use of different plain coloured backgrounds
11. VISUAL CONCEPTS
• White vs red
• (Inspired by constant references to hell/heaven + Lucifer)
• White carrying connotations of innocence (ANGEL)
• Red carrying connotations of rebellion (DEVIL)
• Flashbacks (nostalgic)
12. APPLYING THEORY
• Post-feminism (portrayed through clothing and narrative – showing her agency)
• Male gaze
• Goodwin's 6 conventions
• Intertextuality (Inspired by Miley Cyrus – Wrecking Ball, licking hammer and Lady Gaga's nails)
• Freudian psychoanalysis
• Binary opposition
• Proppian archetypes
• Narrative enigma
• Stuart Hall's theory of readings
• Agency
• Heterenormativity
