Plan for music video

Pan for Music Video

1st part

It starts with three quick long shots of the three different settings we are in, during the video.
-Railway Station/ Mill Road Bridge
-Grafton Subway
-Backstreets of Hills Road


The next 3 shots are slower than the first 3. It introduce the characters, and the maind idea of the video, that is the characters escaping from reality through the music provided by the i-pod. These shots are not as quick as the previous ones but they are fairly quick.
These scenes will be shot using close shots of the characters faces.
-1st shot. close shot of 1st character at mill road bridge. It will be showing the character turning the i-pod on.
-2nd shot. Close shot of 2nd character at Grafton Subway putting the i-pod on.
-3rd shot. Close shot of 3rd character putting the i-pod on.

-4th shot. Extreme close shot of the song being selected on the i-pod.


After the shot of the ipod is shown is where the video really starts, going from the everyday style to the outfits that the characters will be wearing during the song. We are considering to put a transition effect to make it more exciting. The effects that first come into mind are:
-swirl, so the 3 shots swirl together.
-some sort of scratchy effect, meaning that the screen will sort of tremble and it will get quicker before fading out to the new settings.
(These effects are not necesserily the ones we will use)



After the main transaction effect the three characters appear on camera on a split screen and with a quick glance from the public at their new outfits they go their separate ways.
-the shots used in the split screen will be ong shots so the new appearance of the characters can be seen by the audience.


After the final introduction the video becomes simpl but complex. Every charcter sings and dances to the song in their different settings, all th dances and rouines will be different as they aren't choreographed but free style. During this middle part of the video we are going to have a variety of shots:
-long shots
-medium shots
-close shots
