The music video will depict the artist reminiscing about their childhood through a series of scenes. It will show the artists playing in parks, at parties, and at a skate park to represent the carefree fun of being a kid. The video will transition between these locations using camera wipes. It aims to capture the song's theme of missing the innocence of childhood through vibrant imagery of the artists enjoying life as children.

1. Song – The opposite of adults
Artist – Chiddy Bang
Director – Deet Bains

2. Chorus
I once was a kid all I had was a dream
Mo money mo problems, when I get it I'mma pile it up
Now I'm dope wonderbread we can toast
So fresh how we flow, everybody get their style from us
I once was a kid with the other little kids
Now I'm rippin' up shows and 'em fans goin' wild wid us
Tell mommy I'm sorry
This life is a party
[Verse 1]
Remember you was a kid
Reminisce days of the innocence
Now it's Chiddy Bang, google me the images
Follow me, follow me I'm the leader
And when I park cars I don't pay for the meter
I remember I was younger as a kid it was the best
I used touch on all the pretty girls at recess
I'm at my peak yes, I won't leave yet
Serial style, cereal aisle I need chex
I can make these rappers run like a hard drill
Rock band show you how the guitar feel
And I could care less how y'all feel
I got the flow to make a bitch do a cartwheel
This is that good "just puff it and relax, bro"
And you can get it free don't worry 'bout the tax though
And Xaphoon, thank you for the crack
But I play a Ron Bergundy I anchor on the track like that

3. Chorus
I once was a kid all I had was a dream
Mo money mo problems, when I get it I'mma pile it up
Now I'm dope wonderbread we can toast
So fresh how we flow, everybody get their style from us
I once was a kid with the other little kids
Now I'm rippin' up shows and 'em fans goin' wild wid us
Tell mommy I'm sorry
This life is a party
[Verse 2]
Can I please get a little bit of knowledge
Somebody tell Roth that I don't love college
Cause the real world's kinda like Real World
And it's drama so you are Svetlana and I'm just a rhymer
Swimmin' in the water tryin' to dodge the piranhas and fly to Bahamas
Pretty little momma, Chiddy in the spot
Where you at pretty lady show me what you got
They say why you rappin' for the kids for
I said my clothes come fitted, the Lids store
This summer you can catch me on a big tour
I'm high grade, I think they need to quiz more
Let me get wit ya, don't let the kid hit ya
I'm the photo album Voletta has, B.I.G. picture
The rule is, the dude is, so up, so chuck I'm a cool kid
Annotate
Chorus
I once was a kid all I had was a dream
Mo money mo problems, when I get it I'mma pile it up
Now I'm dope wonderbread we can toast
So fresh how we flow, everybody get their style from us
I once was a kid with the other little kids
Now I'm rippin' up shows and 'em fans goin' wild wid us
Tell mommy I'm sorry
This life is a party

4. The meaning of the song
• From my analysis of the song I think the basic overall
meaning of the song is that the main idea of the song is
about how the artist miss their childhoods. Also from
looking at some of the lyrics it is clear they do not want to
be grown up and be classed an adult and the boring
stereotypes that come along with being an adult.
Throughout the song the Artists talk about different
problems that occur as they become adults and how they
wish they never come across these. Probably a small
analysis is that the meaning of the song is mostly happy
memories of them doing childhood things.
• So for my idea I will base my ideas around the analysis that
I have done above.

5. Overview of my idea
• The main thing I will concentrate on whilst filming is that I am
getting good quality and a variety of different camera shots but I
will also have to concentrate greatly during the editing to put good
effects in as well. The main idea of my video is that I will have two
actors representing the artists of Chiddy bang and they will be
doing childish things such as playing in parks, sandpits swimming
etc.
The start of my music video is just a 10 second beat which
builds up to the song so during this I will have my main
actor walking up somewhere which is usually quite busy
such as a road or in town but during a time when it is
quite empty so the audience can just concentrate on just
my actor. I will try to find a location like the picture on the
right. The effects I’m thinking that might work well with
this is that it could be blurred right at the start of the shot
and then regaining focus

6. Over view of my idea
• As my song doesn’t have much of a slow period I am going to have introduce my
actor very early and as it kicks in straight with the chorus I thinking that I will have
my actor lip syncing but in multiple different locations and outfits so it looks as if it
is done over a longer period of time. One of the locations I am positive I will use is
that on a park swing whilst lip syncing during this I will be doing a long shot so I
can get the whole actor in it so the audience can see from the start who the main
person is going to be. After this clip I am will get a shot from the actors at a party
either dancing or doing some sort of game such as beer pong, making them look
like they are having fun, this shot will either be a long shot or a mid shot but I also
think I will walk around so that you can see it from different angles and will get a
lot more into the clip.
The two pictures are two types of
shots I am hoping to produce. The
swings in the picture is pretty much
how I would like my swing clip to be
with the two actors side by side with
the rest of the park in the
background. The picture of the beer
pong will be just a small clip of them
enjoying them selves to try and
enhance a positive mood

7. Overview of my idea
• After I have done the clips for the chorus I will then go to the first verse I
will do this by using a camera wipe something I have talked about
previously in one of my blog posts. During the verse I am thinking that I
could go to a skate park in which I will get quite I few clips of the actors or
random people doing tricks in the park with my actors just in front lip
syncing. The good location for this would be quite a run down skate park
but one that is still useable so it shows the childhood was not perfect but
was fun as they made do with what they have. These type of shots I will
use during this location will be all different for example whilst they are
doing some tricks it will be close ups or mid shots so I can get a good view
of it and then once they are lip syncing to the I think it would be look good
if it was a long shot with the actor positioned central to the camera and
then a clear view of the skate park behind him with people doing tricks
still. During this verse I think it will be quite good to introduce my other
“wow shot” of where there will be multiple different shots on the screen
at once with the different tricks being done but then where my actor is lip
syncing in will slowly start going over the other clips and become the only
shot on the screen again.

9. • Once the chorus comes on
again for the second clip I may
have a small clip from the
park again which they are just
standing with the park behind
them and the use the camera
wipe technique to take them
to a location which is quite
desolate which I know of and
had quite a bit of graffiti on
the walls which I think would
be very suitable at
representing Chiddy bang as
they do most of the shots in
areas which have a lot of
graffiti.
Overview of my idea
The picture above is sort of similar to the
location which I have planned the graffiti I
think is vital for my music video as it
emphasis the message of being children
and doing reckless things.

10. Overview of my idea
• To start with the second verse I am thinking I am going to the
location of a library as the lyrics start talking about
knowledge so I may give a literally image with the lyrics and I
will hopefully be doing a tracking shot through one of the
corridors. I plan on doing some effective camera shot like
match on action to take me to another location such as a
street, the match on action I plan on doing is whilst walked
through a corridor for a couple of lyrics the actor will through
a book to the right and then catch it whilst in a street which I
think may work well. Another idea for this verse which is
quite doubtful but I will try is whilst the character is walking I
may try and get him to walk with a big frame whilst the actor
walking is just walking whereas in the big frame there is an
actor lip syncing along to the lyrics so there are maybe two
clips going on at once which I think could be quite effective

11. Overview of my idea
• The final chorus of the video I will film in my
back garden. During this I will get quite a few
shots from different angles whilst the
character is dancing. He will be doing stuff like
kicking the ball and throughout the last verse
he will get closer to the door and at the end
he will slam the door and it will fade out.

12. Mise-en scene
• The clothing that I want
for my actors will be
very casual American
styled. For the top half I
would like them to wear
a plain white top with
an American styled
jackets and then skinny
jeans with converse. I
think that this would be
quite suitable clothing
for the type of image
for the actors I am
trying to portray.
