Music Video PitchAlyssa Smith
Basic Idea• THIS IS THE LIFE-Two Door Cinema Club• Performance based music video (including a whole
band and instruments)• Storyline involved (simple, maybe some romantic
connections between characters)• Teenager based characters (all male band)• Lots of light (shot in daytime)• Indie fashions shown • Intertextuality and maybe some product placement (top
man etc)-skins? • Festival feel-lots of colours • Show the audience what ‘this life’ is like which they are
singing about
InfluencesThe Maccabees
Two Door Cinema Club
Arctic Monkeys
The bands to the right are the bands which are my influences for my music video. This includes their style and how they act in their music videos. However, there are many music videos which I think are influential aswell.
The Vaccines-If You Wannahttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uQKjI6395iUI think this video is a good influence because of the use of effects on the beat.
Bombay Bicycle Club-Always Like Thishttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-QKj62RKBrMThis video is simple but effective, it involves getting a lot of coverage and having good editing. It also include performance with instruments.
Foals-Balloons:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zHcOFmiswcQThis video is much more complex.
Performers and Costumes• 4 male band members• Around twenty other characters (both female and male) • 17 years-19 years old characters (around the same age
as the band actors, more realistic) • High street clothing (topman, river island etc)Below are some examples of the types of clothing I will be using in the video:
Props and Equiptment• Video Camera • Dolly for the camera• Still Camera • Band set will be needed (characters own
equiptment) • 2 x guitars, 1 x bass guitar, 1 x drum set & 1 x
piano?• Microphones & amplifiers• Lighting: spotlights may be needed but mainly
using natural light
Locations• The performance part will be performed in a garage type location-quite
empty, used for band practice• Big garden areas/forest • Lots of tree and open space• A place where there won’t be a lot of permissions needed/health and
safety hazards I chose these pictures of various locations to help me decide what I wanted my location to look like:
Schedule
Effects (post production)
• Reverse effects • Effects to make the performance seem jumpy • A lot of cutting from shot to shot • Effects to make the rooms seem lighter/more
colourful
This Bombay Bicycle Club music video is a good example of subtle effects which can be effect in an indie music video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-QKj62RKBrM
