Music Video Pitch

Name of Artist: The Arrivals

Track Title: Turn the Page


Outline of Ideas

As the lyrics suggest a break up I would like to describe this in my music video by filming a boy and a girl in separate shots to signify the separation.

I would begin by showing the two in the same shot with one walking away from the other, this will be the only shot where the two appear together and it will be when the boy is breaking up with the girl.

My idea will mainly follow the girl around and display her reaction to the break up as the lyrics themselves are from one person's point of view.
The song is called "Turn the Page" so i would like to go with the idea of using a photo album - containing photos of the couple - and the album is shut when the lyrics "turn the page" are sung.
I would also like to use shots of objects/words etc that remind the girl of her ex-boyfriend. (maybe a few shots of him being behind her but he isn't there when she turns round, to suggest an emotion of longing.)

I have noted from the narrative videos I've watched from other bands that shots of the band are also used in the video, therefore I will try and use shots of a band in my video.


Resources

I will be using a camera and a tripod.
I will also need a girl and a boy to include in my filming to represent "the couple".

I hope to film inside a house - particularly a bedroom - where the girl "lives" as this would be where someone would typically go after being upset, I would also be filming on empty streets to amplify her loneliness and heartbreak.

I will be constructing the prop of the photo album with photos of the pair to suggest to the audience what they once were.
I may also need to construct other items to fulfill the idea of the girl seeing reminders of her ex.

I hope to film a friend's band to include in the music video so as to replicate music videos of similar narrative style.
