It is proposed that the music video will be of 3:43 duration, filmed at Glenthorne
High School and The Grove Park in Carshalton. It will be edited at our Sutton
facility.

The music video will be aimed at teenagers aged 12-18

The music video will show how every individual in this world has their own voice
and should be allowed to speak their minds without being criticized for. The
narrative will be like this because it links into the genre of the music video which
is pop rap.

Several locations have been visited and a shortlist has been drawn up:
Suggested locations are:
Glenthorne High School (020 8644 6307)
The Grove Park in Carshalton
The street in front of Glenthorne High School
The music video will include the following:
a) The artist
b) The performers
c)

iconography

d) Range of shots i.e. long shots, mid shots, close ups.

These sequences will be linked together by using montage editing to show the
narrative of the music video to the audience.

Structure

The music video will be in colour and in PAL DV Widescreen.

The music video will start with the artist in the studio standing behind the
microphone and getting ready to rap and I will be in another section of the room
(behind the main recording desk) with the camera and setting up the shot right.
Once ready I will start the camera wait for 2 seconds then put my thumb up to
represent that I am recording or ready to record.
The story will then be cut to various scenes in the park and then on the street
where the artist will be performing to the camera. The following scenes will
consist of iconography, the artist, rule of third etc...
