The document provides details about the production of a music video for the song "Don't Be Shy" by the artist 789 Crew. It discusses the content of the music video, which will tell the story of a shy girl and outgoing boy meeting at a party and beginning to date. It describes the branding and logo, as well as the target audience as 15-19 year olds, mainly working class, of mixed ethnicity. It outlines the style and form of the music video, which will have both a narrative and performance element, and addresses the representations and stereotypes it will portray.
