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.

Choice of Song

I have selected a song called "Wait" by Youth Club for Яich Kids. This song was first heard at the Maidenhead Battle of the Bands Final and has gone on to have over three-hundred views on YouTube since it was uploaded. I feel that the song has a feel-good factor and that making a music video for it will be both entertaining and exciting. I hope to incorporate some live footage within the video as I feel their performances bring smiles onto the faces of everyone present and I would like to capture this mood.

Youth Club for Rich Kids

Youth Club for Яich Kids are a relatively new indie band but have had instant popularity in the local area gaining a large fan base due to their catchy lyrics and enthusiastic performances. All the band members come from the Cox Green area of Maidenhead and have attended Cox Green School. The school was the location of their first ever live gig at "The Cox Green Rock Concert", a night which saw numerous bands from the school perform. A week later came the Maidenhead Carnival Battle of the Bands Competition. Around eighty people were in attendance for the first heat. This support quickly grew and by the semi-finals three hundred people turned out to support the bands, the majority of these supporting Youth Club for Яich Kids themselves. The band went on to achieve the highest number of votes cast for any one group in the history of the competition. Youth Club finally finished second in the hotly contested competition. Recently the band performed at "The Firestation" in Windsor, their first gig outside of Maidenhead. The gig went really well resulting in them being asked back to perform again in December.
