1. ‘Blame’
Calvin Harris
Treatment sheet by Emel Combey-Yildiz
With
ElectroNorth records
Concept
The themes that will be shown
in my music video will be the
illustration of the lyrics and just
showing the life of todays
youth for the for the song
2. blame by Calvin Harris. The song is looking at the nightlife and the
mainstream culture of today the idea of ‘blame’ is obviously key to the
song and will have to be represented within my own video. The main
characters in my video will be a group of northern teenagers (my friend
group) showing their life and attitudes during the night. The idea behind
it is to stress the genre and basically show them to be having a good time.
Lighting
For my
video the lighting will be
important as a lot of it
will be filmed at night,
the use of low lighting
will be prominent and
there will be very little
natural light and artificial
light will be used. The
use of car headlights and streetlights will be
used to my advantage when filming. I will
try to create particular shadows to give
depth to some of the shots I have an idea to
shoot a silhouette of the girls.
3. Camera and Editing
My camera shots will vary as
there is a few characters
evolved the shots will vary
from extreme close ups to wide shots. I will have the camera both on the
tripod and held and will use the first person technique as if the camera is
their eyes. Most of the shots will be slightly shaky and rarely fully
stationary. Editing will be fast paced to keep up with the song and will be
advanced to keep some relation to the mainstream videos for this genre.
4. Narrative
There are two narratives that my music video will follow both featuring a
group of northern teenagers but in two different environments, one being
a house party and the other being set out and about following them in
there activity’s. This is to illustrate particular parts of the lyrics and stay
with similar conventions.
