2. Characters
The music video ‘The Fray-You found me’ we intend to have a young female teenager as the
main character, she will be presented through a variety of camera angles and movements to
display the narrative for the soundtrack. An example of a camera shot to use is ‘Point of view
shot’ this will allow the audience to be positioned as the main character and visually see what
she’s looking at. Further consideration has been made by choosing not to reveal the females
face until the end of the music video. This raises mystery and enchants the audience to be
captivated with the narrative. As the music video is filmed in a public location our group intends
to film the audience in certain scenes, this requires asking permission beforehand. Things we
may ask the public to do is act as normal as they could doing their own activities as if we were
never filming. Activities we wish to insert is people walking/running to their platform (Liverpool
Street Station) as if they are late and running out of time. This will encourage our narrative as it
will give a clear understanding about what is happening and where the music video is located
3. Location
• Locations decided for the music video consists of two locations which is Liverpool
Street and Hyde park. These contrasting rural and urban locations recreates the
indie rock theme as indie rock bands are typically filmed in industrial settings. A
range of camera shots will be used to show provisional information of the two
locations, these are exterior shots, time lapse, establishing shot, close ups and
extreme close ups. These variety of shots will enforce a powerful, expressive and
visual statement of the storyline in seeking hope. As a group we decided to show
the setting whilst characters are within the frame a particular shot we intend to
explore in depth is over the shoulder shot. This is mainly due to the characters
face not being revealed throughout the music video until near the end, this
results the camera constantly being behind over watching what the main
character sees and experiences.
4. Narrative
• Instantly engaging the character is our
immediate intention and as a result we
intend to have a mysterious opening and
middle section where the main characters
face is not exposed to the camera. As
mentioned the initial aim is to go on a
progressive journey with the main
character in seeking hope where in life
we may have been let down. Going
through the young girls perspective in the
two locations where she views people
“finding” each other shows the
connectional bond between people.
• Placement of props throughout the video
is used to symbolise the lyrics, linking
both visuals and lyrics visually
communicates to the audience about
important messages and focus points
revealed and defined in the soundtrack
and music video. An example of a
symbolic object is a cross where in the
end the main character finds the one
(soul mate) which underlines the
character being God.
