A2 Music Video: Ideas: Jakes Storyline

When looking at the lyrics, we were deciding the storylines of the boys in the boybands. We decided that because there are four of the boys, there would be four seperate storylines.

We've only come up with one storyline so far:

Jake Storyline 1: Because Jake is taking A Level Drama, we decided to give him the end storyline to give it a good ending. This scene is going to be of a boy and girl fighting and the girl gets upset and walks out, then her boyfriend goes after her angrily. Jake as a normal boy tries to help. Then a close-up sees Jake put his mask on and helps the girl our of the situation. Taking her away from her boyfriend. We are going to shoot the scene in the hallway of the sixth form block. Then a tracking shot follows the girl out of the school, then an over the shoulder shot sees the angry boyfriend behind her. Then Jake will try and help the girl out and boyfriend dismisses him. Using a close-up on Jake he will look very worried and pull out a mask and become a superhero. Then the camera will run into jake showing the emotion on his face. Then you see Jake hold out his hand and a birds eye view shot and a close-up will show the hand. Then you will see a close-up of the girls face deciding whether to take his hand or not. Then there will be a close-up of the girl taking Jakes hand.

A2 Music Video: Audience Profile

When looking at the song we have chosen; Personal Soldier by The Wanted we looked at what the audience profile would be for people who listen to the song and watch the music video. In terms of gender; the song is sung by boys and we are having a boyband of 4 boys in the music video so girls will definetly be the ones interested in this video and song, not particularly boys. When it comes to age; we thought about the genre of the song which is POP. If you think about it a lot of younger girls like the POP culture and boybands. Young teenagers like boybands because they like having people to idlelise especially a bit of 'eye candy' on they're walls. So I would place the age between 12-16. This is because they're in the earlier stages of being a teenager. In terms of social class; they will just be like anyone, just average. They don't need lots of money and a big background to like this song and the music video. They are teenage girls who go to school, go shopping and like putting posters of boys on they're walls. These are they're interests which go with the song and the video.

A2 Music Video: Preparation

When preparing to do the music video, we need our actors to learn the song that they have to mime to. It will be difficult for them to learn it, so I posted the youtube video of the song with lyrics all they're facebook walls. I only posted it on three of they're walls because Jake doesn't really go on facebook, so I am going to give him the lyrics and song tomorrow to learn. We have asked them to learn the lyrics and song for next week and they are doing a good job so far.

A2 Media - Conversation

When it comes to discussing ideas, I am in a group with my sister so we discuss ideas at home all the time about this music video. So I don't really have any evidence on things like facebook that we have been talking. This is because I live with her so I am just going to blog every time we have a conversation involving ideas for the music video.
We have been discussing ideas and we thought of having the different boys in the boyband saving different people, we were thinking girls mostly. Lysette came up with the idea of a girlfriend and a boyfriend having an argument and the girl walking away upset, ten the super hero trys to help but just as himself. Then things get messy and he puts his mask on. This is just one idea that we have discussed.

A2 Media - Costumes

When thinking about the costumes of the boyband we knew they were being superheroes. So we wanted to get 4 plain black masks for them to wear to make them look quite classy but like a super hero at the same time. We wanted it to be simple. So during our free period, we walked to the town with two of the actors we have chosen; Chad and Joe and looked for masks. We went in the party shop, Wilkinsons, Poundland, Tesco, Claires Assecories and Asda and had no luck. Well there were a few in The party shop but nothing we really liked the look of. Then when we got home and asked our dad if there was anywhere that would sell cheap black masks, he suggested Mr Savers. We will try and have a look there during the week. In terms of other costume parts, we were thinking of getting all the boys to wear capes but nothing is certain yet.

A2 Media - Actors

For the music video we have found our actors! We decided to make the video a boyband, so we decided to look for four boys who would help us out with doing this. The boys that will be in our boyband are; Joe Mortimer, Matt Patterson, Jake Robinson and Chad England. I will be posting photos of them on here soon. They will be miming the song for us, acting out scenes and maybe even doing a little bit of dancing. For the actresses they have to be saving in the music video; we will be playing two of those parts. We just need to find two other girls and a couple of extras that will help us.
