The document outlines plans for a music video for the song "Somebody To Love" by Rusko. It will tell the story of two actors playing lovers searching for each other through a desolate wooded area. Slow motion will be used to emphasize emotions and actions. The location was chosen for its suitability to the story and song, and will allow a variety of shots. The characters are dressed appropriately and are the ideal age for the target audience. References are provided to example music videos that effectively use slow motion.

2. The Story

We have chosen to actors to play the role of lovers.

They will be running round the chosen location playing a ‘hide and
seek’ style role.

We plan to use lots of slow motion to capture their emotions and to
emphasise the actions that take place within the video.

We feel that the song title ‘Somebody to Love’ really works well with
this story. As they are theoretically searching for eachother, and they
are in love.

3. Location

The location that we have chosen for our music video is a very
desolate area, surrounded by trees and a small stream that runs
through them.

The reason we have chosen this location is because we felt that it
suited the style of song and the story very well.

We also feel that this location will allow us to use a very wide range of
shots, from close-ups to show emotions. To establishing shots to
capture the scenery, and let the viewer know where they are.

We are hoping for nice weather when filming the video. We feel that if
this happens the full excitement of the video will be captured.
However, if the weather is mildly overcast we will still be able to film as
this can also be worked for our benefit.

4. Characters

The Characters that we have chosen we feel are perfect for the roles.
They are both very good representatives of our genre. They will be
dressed in indie clothes, buttoned up shirts, tight trousers etc…

They bare both 18 years old, which is the ideal age because we feel
that this is going to be the average age of the audience that will watch
this video.

With this we hope that people will be able to relate to it or connect in
some way.

5. The song


Above is the song that we will be using, it is very upbeat and very fast.
So it may seem a bit odd that we are going to be doing much of it in
slow motion, However whilst researching music videos we discovered
that many of the videos we looked at used slow motion. For example
the video below uses slow motion throughout the whole video and it
really works. You can really see the emotion of both characters and
this is exactly what we are trying to achieve in ours.
