This document provides a plan for the performance portion of a music video. It will show the main artist performing the song in a studio, filmed in the TV studio at CCN. The studio space will be made to look simplistic with a white backdrop and floor, microphone, stand, and lights. Three cameras will be used to capture the performance from various angles, including long shots, mid shots, close ups, and low angles to make the artist look empowered. Including performance footage alongside the narrative is important for the target rock music audience.

Plan

2. My final music video will consist of a mix of narrative and performance
footage. The narrative part will be made up of the story following the Girl
and the Werewolf, and the performance part will show the Girl (who is the
main artist) performing the song in a studio. Although my storyboards have
only shown the narrative part, I plan to cross cut the narrative footage with
the performance footage in my final music video. Having two different
elements to the music video will ensure it remains engaging to the audience
throughout the whole song. Including performance as well as the narrative
would be expected by my target audience of Alternative Rock as a convention
of all Rock related videos is to see footage of the artist performing.

3. The Performance part of my music video will be filmed in the TV Studio at CCN. I plan to
make the TV Studio look like a studio space for the artist is perform in. I want to make it
look quite simplistic so that the viewers attention is drawn to the artist. I plan on having a
white backdrop and floor with lights standing either side of the artist. The only other prop I
plan to use is a microphone and stand for the artist to sing into.

4. I will use three different cameras when filming my music video in the TV Studio. This will
allow me to capture footage of the artist performing from a variety of different angles and
use lots different shot types. I plan to defiantly film with long shots, mid shots and close
ups, and film directly in front of the artist, as well from other directions around her. I will
defiantly film some footage using a low angle, as this will make the main artist look
empowering. This is extremely important to include in my video as it shows that women in
the music industry, especially in the Rock industry can be strong, and in control without
being sexually objectified.
