2. ChoiceofSong
&MusicGenre
The song choice that I have picked for my music video
is Bryson Tiller’s “In Check” as I frequently listen to
his albums/songs and so I have a basic idea of how to
present my narrative using his song.
This song is a contemporary R&B genre, where the
common theme of music with this genre is love and
relationships which I want to create.
I have decided that this will be a narrative-based
music video, where the story is the main focus.

Plot
The video begins with our main character cleaning his
room and then he comes across an old photo of him and
his ex-girlfriend.
Thinking he has already moved on, the old photo
makes me reminisce the times when they was together.
He starts to think about what went wrong and how
things came to an end.
He realises the reason was because of him. He treated
her badly and didn’t think the things he did would
make her feel this way.
Knowing he won’t be able to find someone like this
again, he messages her, hoping that he would be given
another chance.
5. Location&
Casting
The main location that I will be using will be in a bedroom as the lyrics
in my song refer to the bedroom as a main location. Other locations I
will use to shoot my scenes will be within ‘Eastside City Park’, ‘Broad
Street’ and more areas that I will decide in the future.
I plan to use more ‘modern-like’ areas so that the audience can relate to
these situations, giving a sense of realism in the story.
I have not fully decided who my main characters should be, but I have
some potential actors who are able to take part in my video. They both
understand what type of music video I am trying to achieve and so will
be able to cooperate with me quickly since they know what to do.
Gowsy and Zarius,
my potential actors,
normally wear
darker type clothing
which really assists
with my pre-
production as I
would not need to
ask them to find
clothes suitable for
my video.
6. Location&
Casting
For my female protagonist, I have decided that she will
be played by Perside. I have carefully picked Perside to
be my female character as she also has a good
knowledge of how R&B type of music videos are
produced and will know how a female in a relationship-
type video will have to act.
