Storyboards

I started looking at the song 'wait' and making my own interpritations of what the song means to me. I had a basic storyline, where the boy is waiting for the girl to come to him, and built on that to work out the different stages of the video.

The video starts with the boy getting ready and continues with him waiting around different location in maidenhead before cooking her dinners. She eventually arrives and they both realise that spending time with each other is the most import thing.

Treatment

Aims

Our aim is to produce a Music Video for our A2 Media Studies. My music video will appeal to 15-21 year olds that are like Indie music and are fans of Youth Club for Rich Kids. The deadline for the production of the music video is Christmas. I would like the music video to be exciting and high tempo like the song. I would like the viewer to become a fan of the band as well as forming a relationship with Harry who will be staring in the video and is also in the band. I would like our audience to be able to associate themselves with the music video and feel as if they are interacting with the characters on screen. I will do this through the use of a central character that they can relate to and by creating enigmas for them to solve.



Structure

The main character gets up straight away to prepare for his meal with his girlfriend, he is putting maximum effort in to impress her. Meanwhile his girlfriend is having a lie-in and taking her time thinking she has all the time in the world. He waits and waits for her to see him and in the meantime the meals he was cooking did not meet the grade. When she eventually arrives they are left to eat a pot noodle together and they can both see the funny side.



Style and Technical Features

An initial influence for my music video is that of Viva Brother in which their video depicts aspects of Slough, I will include famous landmarks and locations around maidenhead where the band have performed and visited. It also bears similarities with ‘Cookie Jar’ by Gym Class Heroes where only the lead singer is present onset of the video. Only Harry, the guitarist, will feature within the video.



Location

The location for filming will start at the boys house as well as the girlfriends. The outdoor shots will take place in Maidenhead city centre, Ockwells Park, Cox Green School and Furze Platt.
