AS 2 - Task Four - Pre-Production Planning

Proposal

• I am going to make a music using a track and artist of my choice
• The target audience is people aged 16-25
• The music video will start with people in a crowded place and the mains singer will be among the crowds, the crowds will move in slow motion
• There will then be a number of flashing lights and the main singer will act as though she is giving up
• We will then cut to a shot of the main singer walking down a long pathway with a crown in one hand and a lock in the other
• There is then a short break in the music in which you can hear the choir singing, at this stage there will be a number of lit candles in a dark room
• The video will then cut to a shot of a castle on a hill and the main singer walking towards it
• There will then be a close up of actor sitting in the throne and then an extreme close up of the actors hand moving towards the main singers neck to match the lyrics
• The shot will then finish with the female singer in the throne
