Faithless Insomnia

Wednesday 2 October 2013

Original Pitch Idea


TRACK: Alright
YEAR: 2012
DIRECTOR:
GENRE: House
MAIN AUDIENCE: M+F 15-25





Narrative:

Its a love story between a hetro-sexual couple facing relationship problems - link with the lyrics "Its alright" The two go separate ways and meet up with their friends and both do stereotypical things with  their friends to try to get over one another. As the video endures there will be constant references to the two missing each other and as the video comes to a close the two can't stand being away from each other so they run back together.  The lyrics are linked with the visuals in certain sections.

Performance:

The performance included in my video will be of the chorus where one character will play the role of the artist in a hip-hop attire to go along with the music with friends in the background a convention i found in hip-hop music videos.

Genre:

House music is a genre of electronic dance music that originated in the American city of Chicago in the early 1980's. It was initially popularized circa 1984 in Chicago, but beginning in 1985, it fanned out to other major cities such as Baltimore, Detroit, Toronto, Mexico City, New York City, San Francisco, Boston, Montreal, Cancún, Manchester, Miami, London, and Paris. It then began to influence popular music in Europe

Casting:

In total there will be 8 characters (3 Boys) (5 Girls) Two main characters, one boy one girl. 

The Male character will play a similar role to the one AJ English played in Calvin Harris' 'Bounce' this role needs to be carried out well to give the video a sense of verisimilitude. This will be a 'Bad Boy' role which will be signified by the mise en scene e.g. baseball cap or smoking and tattoos? maybe.

The girl on the other hand will be a binary opposite to the boy a goody two shoes almost so there will be a big contrast between the two. As the separation really affects her in the way it doesn't for the boy. Her emotions will be shown by close ups and her actions such as throwing a picture at the wall.
