Pitch - Music Video

Song:
The song i have chosen to base my music video is LarsM ft Tali Kouch Golden Drops. This song would be categorized in the genre house.

Mise en scene
Locations;
Grande houses- therefore possible locations such as Chatsworth House, Wollaton Park and Newstead Abbey. I have chosen these possible locations as this provides a variety of open space areas for my mise en scene which widens my location shots. Also these locations will have an environment surrounded by nature such as trees, flowers and bushes which will be appropriate props i will contain within my music video.
House- i will be filming in a house mainly in a bedroom to represent the protagonist and other background characters to be getting ready (wrapping up) for the night ahead.
Field- i will be filming on an open field during the evening as the lighting will be considered to be darker enabling me to have eye view of sparklers and fireworks, using a different field varies my options of location providing some rural areas.
Other street locations- this will be to show the variety of transport routes the protagonist uses to get from location to location.

Props;
Nature- things the environment provide such as bushes, flowers, trees and lakes. Things the protagonist can walk through and around, also pick and take an interest too whilst lip syncing to the lyrics.

Fireworks and sparklers- these props will link well with my song as i will use these to express the golden droplets which is the title of my song. The sparklers will also be used to spell out the artist and the title of the song which will be one of my final shots. These props will be used later in the evening as this makes the sparkler effects and the fireworks more visible.
Golden Glitter- also will be used to be sprinkled around the location of the grande house but also the protagonist will be seen to be throwing the glitter into the atmosphere. Finally this prop will accompany the fireworks and the sparklers to also represent the golden drops (title of the song), which will be seen to be on the faces of the protagonist and the background characters.
Alcohol- this will be used at the social gathering where the fireworks will take place, close up shots will be used to show the alcohol being poured into cups.

Clothing;
Casual Sophisticated clothing- this type of clothing will consist of long coats, heeled boots, turtle neck jumpers. This will fit well with my genre and song as this is the clothing which is seen to be popular and trendy to the present today, which also relates to my genre as it is new and trendy. Also due to the location i will first shoot my music video the clothing will need to be seen to fit in with the location therefore due to the location being home to grande houses casual clothing such as trainers and jeans would be seen to be out of place, but also this type of clothing would be seen to be with the genre indie.
Casual Clothing- this type of clothing will be used for the evening location when the social gathering takes place, this clothing will include jeans, jumpers, jackets, hats, scarfs, gloves and comfy shoes e.g trainers. Due to this event occurring outside and also the time of the day the climate would be seen to be much colder, but also fits in with the the social side of the event.

My Ideas;
My opening scene will be in an open space area outdoors containing a rural area, which is also home to a grande house. The protagonist will be seen to be exploring around the environment which include parks and other nature aspects. The main shots i will be using in the beginning of my video will be mid shots, of the protagonist picking flowers, throwing gold dust, the mid shot will enable the audience to hand gestures as well as facial expressions, but also clear to see the lip syncing. Also mid shots will be used of the background characters to show their facial expressions, but also to express their youth. Long shots will also be used in order to get a clear image of the protagonist's clothing and the background characters too. Action shots will also be a major camera shot to grasp the scenery and the activity taken place by the protagonist and the other characters. Close up shots will be used to show feet walking which will be sped up to express the fast beat of the song. Also of the protagonist spinning lip syncing to the song.

There will then be a shift of location to the protagonists and others in a bedroom getting changed for the next event. Mid and Long shots will mainly be used to show the different clothing the young females are changing in too, as it has to be clear to the audience that it is not a night out they are getting ready for. Therefore mid shots and long shots will be used to make it clear to the audience the type of clothing being used, like, jeans, jumpers and trainers. The gold glitter will also be used to be seen on the faces of the protagonist to represent the golden drops. There will then be a zoom in shot of the girls feet climbing into a car which will be sped up to show they are moving on to the next location.

The next location will finally be in an outdoor area, either a field or a house with an outdoor social event occurring. There will be an action shot of the area to show the live atmosphere which will relate to the song well. There will then be close up of alcohol being poured into a cup, which also relates to the genre of the song has house music is seen to be presented with alcohol. Extreme close ups will be used of the explosion of the fireworks and the sparkles which fall from the fireworks to represent the golden drops. There will also be jump cuts back to the protagonist of the lip syncing of the lyrics which then cuts back to the fireworks. Also an action long shot will be used of the protagonist and others sparkling sparklers, which they will be spelling out the artist and the title of the song.


Target audience;
My target audience would be the younger generation such as young adults and teenagers, this is because the genre of my song is a popular choice for this target audience as the genre is new and trendy.
