WILSHIRE

A BENBADGER PRODUCTION
 CONTEXT
WHY DID I CHOSE THE WILSHIRE
MUSIC VIDEO?
- I HAVE BEEN A FAN OF TYLER, THE CREATOR FOR
MANY YEARS AND HIS MUSIC VIDEOS HAVE BEEN A
HUGE INSPIRATION TO ALL MY WORK SO I WANTED
TO PAY HOMAGE TO THIS.
- WILSHIRE AS A SONG IS INCREDIBLY VIVID IN THE
IMAGERY IT CREATES WHEN YOU LISTEN TO IT AND
I REALLY WANTED TO BRING MY VISION OF IT TO
LIFE.
- ROMANCE AS A GENRE IS ALWAYS SOMETHING I’VE
WANTED TO TACKLE AND THIS GAVE ME THE
PERFECT OPPORTUNITY TO DO SO.
- NO MUSIC VIDEO HAS BEEN CREATED FOR THIS
SONG CREATING A LARGE DEMAND.

THE IDEA OF MY

PLOT SUMMARY & INSPIRATION

WILSHIRE – TYLER, THE CREATOR IDEA –
COMING IN 8 MINUTES AND 34 SECONDS LONG, WILSHIRE TELLS THE REAL-LIFE STORY
OF TYLER’S SUPPOSED ROMANCE WITH MODEL REIGN JUDGE. THE STORY IS ONE OF A
LOVE TRIANGLE BUT WITH TWISTS THAT ARE NOT COMMONLY SEEN IN LOVE TRIANGLE
STORIES. THE NARRATIVE IS TOLD FROM TYLERS PERSPECTIVE BUT IT DOES NOT ONLY
EXPLORE THE FEELINGS OF TYLER HIMSELF BUT ALSO THE FEELINGS OF REIGN AND HER
BOYFRIEND WHO IS UNAWARE OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN HIS GIRLFRIEND AND
TYLER WHO IS ALSO HIS FRIEND. THE STORY STARTS AT THE BEGINNING OF THE
RELATIONSHIP AND REIGN AND TYLER MEET AND ENDS WITH THEIR FINAL SEPERATION
FROM ONE ANOTHER.

THE STYLE OF MY
 DEMAND
THE

IS THERE A DEMAND FOR THIS

MUSIC VIDEO?
DUE TO THE PERSONAL NATURE OF THE SONG TYLER
DECIDED AGAINST CREATING A MUSIC VIDEO FOR IT
AND AFTER SOME RESEARCH I COULD NOT FIND ANY
OTHER “FAN MADE” OR “UNOFFCIAL” VIDEOS FOR
THE SONG BESIDES A FEW EDITS TO THE SONG USING
CLIPS FROM FILMS ETC, WITH THIS IN MIND I DO
BELIEVE THERE IS A LARGE GAP IN THE MARKET FOR
A VIDEO TO WILSHIRE AND AS THE SONG IS STILL
FAIRLY NEW, I THINK THE DEMAND FOR IT WILL BE
VERY HIGH. ALONG WITH THE DEMAND FROM TYLER
FANS THERE IS ALSO A DEMAND FROM PEOPLE WHO
HAVE WATCHED THE OTHER WORK ON MY YOUTUBE
CHANNEL.
 CONTEXT
THE SOCIAL

WHAT ARE THE IMPLICATIONS OF MY PRODUCTION?

DEALING WITH THE SUBJECT MATTER OF LOVE TRIANGLES IS SOMETHING THAT NEEDS TO
BE TREATED WITH A LOT OF RESPECT WHEN APPROACHING IT, AS IT SOMETHING THAT
ALMOST EVERYONE WILL EXPEIENCE AT SOME POINT IN THEIR LIFE, ESPECIALLY SO WHEN
RECREATING AND TELLING THE STORY OF SOMEONE WHO IS NOT YOURSELF. I BELIEVE A LOT
OF PEOPLE WILL BE ABLE TO RELATE WITH MY PRODUCTION IN SOME SENSE AND MAKING
SURE THAT THE EMOTIONS BEING PORTRAYED ARE RIGHT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO ME AND
THE OVERALL OUTCOME OF THE PRODUCTION. ALTHOUH THE SONG DOES NOT PAINT TYLER
AS THE HERO ACTAULLY QUITE THE OPPOSITE I HAVE BEEN GIVEN THE CHANCE TO SHOW
THE EMOTIONS OF EVERYONE IN A LOVE TRIANGLE SITUATION AND I THINK THIS OVERALL
MEANS CREATING A PRODUCTION THAT HAS A POSITIVE EFFECT ON THE AUDIENCE
WATCHING.
 AUDIENCE
TARGET

WHO IS MY TARGET AUDIENCE AND

WHAT AM I DOING TO MEET THEIR
EXPECTATIONS?
- MY TARGET AUDIENCE PRIMARILY LIES BETWEEN THE
AGES OF 16 AND 24 AND IS VERY BROAD IN TERMS OF
GENDER, ETHNICITY AND SEXUALITY. THEY ALSO HAVE
A VERY VARIED TASTE IN TERMS OF HOBBIES,
LIFESTYLE, PERSONALITY TRAITS AND INTERESTS.
- JUST BY CREATING A VIDEO FOR A TYLER, THE
CREATOR SONG I AM HITTING MY TARGET AUDIENCE
AS MY PRIMARY TARGET AUDIENCE IS TYLER FANS BUT
TO KEEP THEM AS ENGAGED AS POSSIBLE, I WILL
FEATURE HIS VISUAL STYLE IN TERMS OF COLOUR,
CLOTHING AND PROPS TO MAKE THE VIDEO MATCH
HIS OTHERS.
 MARKETING
HOW AM I MARKETING MY
PRODUCTION?
ALONG WITH FILMMAKING MARKETING IS ONE OF MY
PASSIONS AND SPREADING THIS VIDEO TO A LARGE
AUDIENCE WILL BE ESSENTIAL FOR ME. I WILL USE AN EYE
CATCHING AND RELEVANT THUMBNAIL AND TITLE TO
ATTRACT VIEWERS ON YOUTUBE, INTERACT WITH PEOPLE
IN THE TYLER, THE CREATOR COMMUNITY THROUGH
FACEBOOK, INSTAGRAM AND REDDIT TO SHARE AND
PROMOTE THE VIDEO AND ALSO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF
TIKTOK’S ALGORITHM TO SHARE IT TO A LARGE AUDIENCE
ON THAT PLATFORM. WITH MY LAST PRODUCTION
AMASSING OVER 50K VIEWS ON YOUTUBE I HAVE GAINED
INSIGHT AND VIEWERS THORUGH THAT WHO WILL BE
INTERESTED IN MY UPCOMING PROJECTS
