Proposal for music video

Song lyrics:

Proposed story line and characters: Main character (main vocal) sitting in an examination room about to set AS paper. Small band gathers outside at the main door and starts playing. Pushes paper away and starts to remember whee he should really be, starts singing. At the start of the main chorus he gets up and dashes out of the door follewd by the band who are frantically chasing him. Must make it look like that main character is oblivious to the fact that the band are with him. Character singing on different modes on transport for a duration. When the song reaches the instrumental 3/4 of the way through the main character will reveal flashbacks of the time he spent with what appears to be ex-girlfriend. Rest of the video is that main character (followed by the band) making his way into an apartment. When song finishes character knocks on the door by the girl from his flashbacks, she gives him a sorry look and closes the door in front of him, the band splits leaving the character to walk home alone.

Setting: School hall, train, car, school boarding corridor.

Length- roughly 3 and a half minutes.

Format- Mini DV and editing using Final Cut Express

Style:

Genre, mood, influences, claims to originality: This is an acoustic guitar, up beat pief music. Emotional spiritual music.

Camerawork: Im going to work with close up on the main character, with reverse zoom and zoom. When character is running through streets I will use far shots to capture both the main character and the band.

Length of shots: Shots are going to vary from a few seconds to about 1 second due to the quick beat of the song.

Movement and action: There will be alot of quick panning as well as various zoom shots.

Visual qualities: Im planning having bright light during my video, however when my character reaches the apartment I am planning on lowering it. I want to emphasize the use of colour as well in this video.
