The document proposes a "Best of" album for the band Faux Pas containing their most popular and successful songs from previous singles and albums. It would include 12 tracks on the first disc. The second disc is a DVD with behind-the-scenes footage and music videos to help promote the band. The proposal also includes details on a music video they plan to make for the song "Finer People," with a storyline about a boy trying to improve himself to get the attention of a girl he likes.

1. THE PROPOSAL:
About:
• Formed in 2015, Faux Pas are a band from
North Yorkshire. They were Inspired by the
likes of The Cribs and Placebo, this four
boys instantly stamped their name on the
local scene with sold out shows
throughout Yorkshire. As part of BBC
Introducing, the band have performed at
Leeds and Reading Festival in 2016 and
have also featured on Radio 1.
• The band have a live show which is
powerful and polished. They have gained a
large following from their performances at
venues such as the O2 Academy in Leeds
and have supported bands such as
Embrace and The Sherlocks. After the
release of their latest single many are
eagerly anticipating their next release.
With the band in the studio, and an

2. The Album:
For the Album we decided to create a an album
displaying the ‘Best of:’ of the band. On the first of
the two discs will be a selection of the Faux Pas’ most
popular and successful songs, with the idea being this
is an overview of the most loved tracks from any
previous singles or albums for example. The use of a
Best of album can also positively promote the band to
those who have not previously come into contact with
the music as this reflects what those who know
consider as the content that attracts the interest, or in
other words the best of their work. With Faux Pas
being in the most part a small and largely unknown
band, the best of album is a perfect chance to display
everything they have to offer across one album.
The DVD:
The second of two discs within the Digipak is a DVD
that we have chosen to contain exclusive behind the
scenes footage accompanied by a number of special
features from a selection of music videos including

THE DISCS

5. Pas, we have chosen this song for a number of reasons, the main one being
that the song has a good and largely fast paced rhythm as well as an
upbeat tune both of which will benefit the pace at which we edit the video
when cutting from shot to shot. The pace of the song and the repetition
amongst some parts of the tune are also essential for the build up of
continuity between the editing and the audio. Certain lyrics of the song also
allow for us to develop a relationship between the lyrics and the visuals
which are one of the points come out of Andrew Goodwin’s analysis of
features within music videos. However the lyrics are in the most part quite
subjective and lack a clear storyline which thankfully does still leave scope
for us to put our own interpretation on things with the lyrics being less
obvious than in some songs.
• The Video: Our idea for the video in terms of the content/storyline is
based around the idea of a boy who at the beginning of the video is
portrayed as unruly and generally disobedient and uninterested however
his interest in a girl at his school encourages him to take the steps required
to turn his life around. The video covers his progress as he makes
amendments to his everyday life in the hope that one day the girl will
notice him. He quickly improves his relationship with not only himself but
those around him including his mother who was often critical of him. He
gets to a point where he is unrecognisable from his former self and the girl
who he had longed after for so long had agreed to go out on a date with
